Cascade Valley Metro Park

The Oxbow Area offers a baseball field, three lighted softball fields and two soccer fields – all of which are used by the City of Akron’s Recreation Bureau. When not reserved for league use, the fields are available to park visitors. Cross-country skiing is possible on lower portions of both the Oxbow and Chuckery trails, and the Oxbow Area features a large sledding hill that is illuminated for nighttime thrill seekers. Scenic views of the Cuyahoga and Little Cuyahoga rivers await picnickers at the reservable shelter atop the Oxbow Area hill.
