First time here! It’s just beautiful here! Love the hiking as well! Great historical site saved from the metroparks.

Took my grandma for a lap around the pond. She uses a walker to get around. The ground was a little muddy in low points, and where the water ran off from the hill, but over all, the ground was fairly flat and compact. There are also plenty of benches to take breaks at. Some points on the track are a little compact, but for the most part, there was enough room for three people to walk comfortably side-by-side.

Park right inside the city of Youngstown, Ohio. Beautiful, stunning, bring your cameras, exercise gear, and water bottle. This park has miles of walking trails. Some of the area is smooth the area I was on was rocky. So, might not be best for wheelchairs or baby strollers. Enjoyed my time, would don it again.
