Enjoy the outdoors with Tallmadge Parks & Recreation Department


Summer is finally here, or so we hope it is! As the weather warms up, I encourage you to explore the outdoors in our great city. Whether it's Maca Pool, the Freedom Trail or one of our neighborhood parks, we have more to offer when the weather is warm. We also have a lot of exciting projects going on this summer. The new playground equipment at Lions and Washburn parks should be installed in early June. We are working on a spinning studio renovation at the Rec Center that should be completed by the end of summer. One of the things I'm most excited about is the update to our Parks & Recreation Department master plan. Throughout the process, we will be seeking input from residents and park users like you and I'm looking forward to what you have to share!
