Miranda is great with our dog, even when he's being stubborn and would rather not walk. She finds ways to entertain him. Would recommend!

Emily was so great about finding alternate activities when our doggo didn't want to walk. She even put a scoop of food in his bowl, too and played tricks for treats. Thanks, Emily!

Elizabeth Park Valley
Elizabeth Park Valley in Akron, OH, has a wealth of natural resources. There are two main attractions in the area for dogs. The first is Akron Dog Park. This is a large, completely fenced park area near Cascade Valley Park that’s perfect for letting your dog romp and play off-leash. There are watering stations and some used but useful agility equipment at the park. If you fancy a longer walk, you can head to The Ohio & Eerie Canal Cuyahoga Valley Tow Path. This former freight way has been converted into a multi-use trail for walking, jogging, and biking. Leashed dogs welcome!

The large park serves the community with room for sports, picnics, and plenty of walking paths for leashed dogs and unleashed humans. Elm Hill Park nearby is a little less busy. There’s a small pond and plenty of its namesake elms. The neighborhood pup-friendly eatery is D’Agnese’s Trattoria and Cafe. This Italian restaurant has outdoor seating when the weather permits. They also offer a doggie menu just for visiting canines who’d like to try some pawsome cuisine! Unleash your canine’s inner food critic!

Goodyear Heights
Goodyear Heighs Metro Park is THE place to be in Goodyear Heights. This park boasts over 400 acres of open space. The multi-use area is used for fishing, sledding, and year-round hiking and walking. There are several trails through the park, and the looped structure makes it easy for you to choose how long or short your walk is. Dogs must remain leashed inside the park, but the bounty of nature and wildlife makes it a great experience for dogs who crave more contact than barking at the neighborhood squirrel. Located right in Goodyear Heights, the metro park is a taste of nature without a commute.

Merriman Valley
Hampton Hills Metro Park in Merriman Valley is an amazing park for hikers and dogs alike. There are two trails, each running beside streams.

Leashed dogs are welcome to explore all 650+ acres of Hampton Hills. For a slightly smaller park experience, follow your nose to Sand Run Metro Park. This park focuses more on observing nature, with wetland trails that provide ample bird and salamander watching space. Leashed dogs will have a blast!
