A beautiful and peaceful place surrounded by nature. Everything was clean, cozy, and perfect for relaxation. We even saw deer walking nearby, which made the experience truly magical. I really enjoyed my stay and would love to come back again! 🌲🦌✨
I grew up in Parma Hts. and very close to this park. I was there often to slide down monkey island, play war in the woods with friends or bike path it to Berea quarry to swim.
