Parks in Kent? (Cincinnati, Akron: university, moving to, tree)

[Iraqvet]

I may possibly be moving to Kent from the Cincinnati area and I love the parks in Cinci. I think the parks is the main thing I like about Cinci. I wanted to know if Kent, or at least the surrounding areas have any nice park. If they do, how do they compare to those of Cincinnati?

The parks along the Cuyahoga River have some nice walking trails that start from downtown and head down to the SW corner of the city and thats really nice there. Further down is Fred Fuller Park where you have some baseball diamonds and some playgrounds. I think there are some smaller ones elsewhere, but those are the ones that come to mind.
Also, Cuyahoga National Park is a short drive away.

Kent is a tree city (and has a tree university within it). There are a lot of small community parks located throughout Kent (pretty decent one right downtown along the Cuyahoga). There are also metroparks close by in the Akron area. And, hello, there is a national park 15 minutes away!!!!
