Acacia Reservation

Love this place. I wish I had been able to use it as a golf course, but it is fantastic and a hike and bike. It also has stocked ponds with bass and lots of nature exploding all around.
It is also great for the family. There are benches for resting an a gazebo or two for some shade.
The clubhouse is used for venues to include weddings.

Love Acacia! I use it almost daily. The trails are always plowed in the winter and the maintenance staff is very courteous. The Rangers and always on patrol and I feel like it’s the safest park in Cleveland.
One complaint, it’s a bit too much of a hike for those of us that fish in the north ponds. Sometime the trek can take 25 mins! It would be nice to park in the house off Richmond!
Great job Cleveland Metroparks!

Really unique addition to the MetroPark system. It’s very cool to still be able to make out the fairways and the sand traps. It is surprising how quickly nature has taken over and grown out the sand traps and water holes with plant life.
This is a very expansive park and while the road and traffic is visible from some areas the majority of the park makes you forget you are in the middle of a city — it’s quiet too.
There are restrooms. There are also park benches throughout the entire park, including close to the parking lot so if you want to just stop in for a place to quick eat your lunch you can do that without having to walk too far.
All the paths are in good condition and they are all paved. There is a perimeter path as well as an internal path with many loops. Check out the image from Google’s satellite maps that I posted. You can look at it here or even better look at it on your iPhone when you are there as you will then have the blue dot indicating your location. It is neat to see on the map what the golf course around you used to look like and it helps to know which path you are walking on.

This brand new public park on the site of a recently closed and shut down golf and country club is a great place to go on long walks and bike rides with your hubby. The former fairways and putting greens are well taken care of and maintained by the park staff. :)

I love this Cleveland Metroparks location! And not just because it’s practically in my back yard. Acacia Reservation is a former golf course with golf cart paths as trails. There’s flat and hilly terrain and some beautiful scenery. It’s been cool to watch the park transform from a manicured golf course to the wilderness.
There are a few ponds within the park where fishing is allowed. It’s not my thing, but I always see families hanging out by the water.
There’s also a facility on site available for rental. I had the opportunity to check it out for an event and there’s a very nice bar area and a few rooms that seem perfect for smaller functions like showers and birthday parties. On site catering is provided by Dino’s, and their food is generally pretty good.
If you’re in the area, this is definitely a cool place to check out for a walk, hike, run, or bike ride. Or even to hold an event!
