I'm a grandpa but here are my suggestions for outdoor/indoor activities:
1. Children's play area at South Euclid - Lyndhurst Library on Green Road, Storytime is at 10 AM on Tuesday is for 18 months to 3 years. Thursday at 10AM is for 6-18 months.
Events
2. Nature Center at Shaker Lakes off of South Park Blvd
https://shakerlakes.org/early-childhood-programs/
3. North Chagrin Reservation Nature Center in Mayfield Heights. Great learning for youngsters, acquarium with fish, turtles, lizards, snakes. Nice indoor activities with a small playroom. On warmer days, great place to stroll or even walk with your child around the shallow pond, looking for frogs, turtles, fish, ducks, etc.

4. Acacia Reservation: great place for strolling and nature. Close to Beachwood Mall, and east side suburbs.

Some other kid activities in the Cleveland area:
1. Explore all of the Cleveland Metro parks reservations if you like outdoor activity and nature
2. The Children's museum
https://cmcleveland.org/
3. The Great Lakes Science center is for older kids, but something to keep in mind
Great Lakes Science Center | A community where all people value science, technology, engineering, and math to inform decision-making and enrich lives.
4. The Cleveland Art Museum is reasonably kid friendly, check out programs
Cleveland Museum of Art |
5. The Cleveland Museum of Natural History also is very kid friendly, but probably better for bigger kids, 2 years and up.

I would join local facebook groups. I think they are usually super active and helpful. I'm more familiar with west side options. Look into Early Childhood PTA in your area.

A favorite outdoor activity for toddlers is the Lake Metroparks Farmpark in Kirtland. It's reportedly one of the best in the nation, and toddlers have fun, among other activities, chasing around new baby animals or, if sufficiently brave, milking a caged cow. (Bring hand wipes!)

The Cleveland Museum of Natural History has an acclaimed, sort-of-outdoors Perkins Wildlife Center.

Penitentiary Glen of the Lake Metroparks, also in Kirtland, has both a Wildlife Center with animal ambassadors and a miniature railroad that begins operation in April that takes riders through its woodlands.

Toddlers also enjoy the outdoor gardens of the Cleveland Botanical Garden (as well as the indoor Glass Houses). The Cleveland Botanical Garden now is affiliated with Holden Arboretum, one of the best in the U.S. and also in Kirtland, so one membership is good at both. Holden offers toddler-friendly activities as well as great trails, such as Bole Woods, part of Holden's National Natural Landmark.
Buckeye Bud’s Adventure Woods and the Habitat Hut | The Holden Arboretum
Natural Areas at Holden | The Holden Arboretum
I know an elementary teacher who said her students were in awe of Bole Woods on a visit, as almost none of them had ever before been inside a real old growth forest.
Explore the entire Cleveland and Lake Metroparks systems as well as the Cuyahoga Valley National Park for great adventures. More impressive waterfalls providing easy access for toddlers include Brandywine Falls in the CVNP and Paine Falls of the Lake Metroparks, both short walks from parking areas. Cleveland Metroparks close to eastern suburbs are the South and North Chagrin Reservations. Both offer great walks. The North Chagrin Reservation also features the Arthur B. Williams Woods, another National Natural Landmark in Greater Cleveland. Definitely visit Brandywine Falls after a storm or during a rainy period; it also can be magnificent in winter. Also check out the Geauga Park District, with which I don't have as much familiarity.

Here are other nature centers:
https://clevelandmetroparks.com/park...-nature-center

A visit to the latter might include a visit to Huntington Beach or Lakewood Park.

Kids enjoy the beach. Closest to east side suburbs are the Mentor Headlands Beach State Park and the Fairport Harbor Lakefront Park of the Lake Metroparks. The latter also has a short pier into the lake and its beach is protected by a breakwall, cutting down the waves that can swamp toddlers on many days at Mentor Headlands. Check water quality at Lake Erie beaches, and generally avoid for a couple days after big rain storms. Don't limit your beach visits to just summer months. Mentor Headlands especially is enchanting in all seasons, but especially don't miss the winter icing of Lake Erie; it may be a thing of the past by the time your children reach my age due to climate change, so take pictures.
http://parks.ohiodnr.gov/headlandsbeach
Fairport Harbor Lakefront Park | Lake Metroparks
Mentor offers three great nature preserves -- the Mentor Marsh (also a National Natural Landmark); Headlands Dunes State Nature Preserve (adjacent to Headlands Beach); and the Mentor city-owned Mentor Lagoons Nature Preserve which features a 1 1/2 mile wild beach and bluff trails above the beach, as well as impressive forested areas.
Mentor Marsh State Nature Preserve restoration efforts continue; funding a concern
Mentor Lagoons Nature Preserve & Marina - City of Mentor, Ohio
Also check out Lake Erie Bluffs of the Lake Metroparks. If you enjoy outdoor adventures, this park offers a few private overnight camping sites, just above Lake Erie, a very unique opportunity. Lake Erie Bluffs offers running water and toilets, so this is far from primitive camping. Almost all camping opportunities directly on Lake Erie otherwise are in crowded campgrounds, such as at Geneva State Park.

Day trips might include Presque Isle State Park, but it's also a good weekend trip, including Erie with its magnificent North Pier (warn your toddlers that minks are even more dangerous than squirrels) and Dobbins Landing.
Mink make themselves at home at Presque Isle's North Pier - News - GoErie.com - Erie, PA
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dobbins_Landing
Other day/weekend trips might include the Mohican Region (see description below in "Day Trips" travel article) or Magee Marsh and the Ottawa National Wildlife Center (especially for the spring warbler migration or the Biggest Week in American Birding Festival), and Kelleys Island. Magee Marsh with its woodland boardwalk and large beach is beautiful at any time, but especially when its filled with migrating warblers and other birds in the spring.
https://www.tripadvisor.com/Travel-g...Day.Trips.html

Patterson Fruit Farm also would be a good addition to your "to-visit" list:
Patterson Fruit Farm | Farming is our way of life
Punderson State Park for sledding and Alpine Valley for snow tubing are good supervised activities for older toddlers.
Other good weekend trips could involve Niagara Falls, the Hocking Hills (see no. 7 in the following Fodor's article), and Letchworth State Park (the Grand Canyon of the East).
https://www.fodors.com/news/photos/a...st-state-parks
https://parks.ny.gov/parks/79/details.aspx
A different type of outdoor activity is the Cleveland National Air Show. Get bleacher tickets, bring water and sun screen.
Zoo tips: when first arriving at the Cleveland Metroparks Zoo, check on three things: 1) whether there are scheduled procedures at the veterinary exhibit; 2) times of the crossover at the African Elephant Crossing, an opportunity to get within 10-15 feet of the world's largest land animals; and 3) when orangutans will be on display at the RainForest building. Other tips: 4) wear very comfortable shoes and bring water (especially on hot days), as it's a very big zoo; 5) definitely use the tram to get to the Primate, Cat & Aquatics building, but it's a great walk back down.
Have fun!

Great list, once again, from WRnative. On the stroller note, we had both of our kids (they're 19 months apart) in one stroller and would stroll for hours along Cleveland Heights Blvd and the surrounding neighborhood. Great place to stroll BTW. This was well over 20 years ago, we had a double stroller (one behind the other) which worked quite well. Cupholders for coffee are a must. We wore the heck out that stroller, and it never had an issue. Probably a Graco, but I forget. Lots of great neighborhoods in the Heights area for strolling, thank god for old houses, big trees, sidewalks, and coffee shops. We also used to take our kids very regularly to Turtle Park.

Other outdoor activities
This website could be a good resource.
https://www.northeastohioparent.com/...haker-heights/
Biking pathways also are great for hiking, such as the Hope Memorial Bridge discussed in the following thread. Ditto the gardens at Stan Hywet Hall, especially for Dazzle during the holidays.

Here's a great article for Shaker Heights.
Things to Do with Children in Shaker Heights - Shaker Life Magazine
Perhaps check out the river walk in the East Flats in the summer when there's much boating activity. You'll likely see bridges rising and lowering to allow big ships up the river channel, and you might even see a gigantic lake freighter (there are websites where you can check arrivals and departures, but I don't know about the accuracy of the schedules).
Certainly Wendy Park at the mouth of the Cuyahoga River is a fascinating destination.
https://clevelandmetroparks.com/park...ion/wendy-park
Keep in mind that deer ticks exist in northeast Ohio, so research and take precautions. Most persons don't worry about deer ticks, especially when they stick to paved paths, but it's always a good idea to check for them when returning from an outdoors adventure.
This thread offers discussions of the Shaker Lakes, also enjoyable for strolls with toddlers.

Don't miss Horseshoe Lake, in particular.

Toddlers love watching older kids having fun, but some of the kid activities at Horseshoe Lake are age appropriate even for toddlers.

So, That Was Fun--A Playground Primer: Horseshoe Lake, Shaker Heights
Lake View Cemetery also is a popular destination for walks, but be advised that it has a lot of elevation.
Walking tours of downtown also are available, a good activity on the weekend. You can take the Blue or Green Line rail rapids downtown, and toddlers ride free (consider buying day passes for adults).
This thread has some good information on outdoor activities, such as post 4. Read post 15 instead of post one, for reasons explained in post 15.
//www.city-data.com/forum/cleve...ctivities.html
Combine a visit to the West Side Market with a stroll halfway across the Hope Memorial Bridge and back, then walk up West 25th St. to Mitchell's Ice Cream, sure to delight any toddler. At Mitchell's, take the elevator to the second floor seating area and check out the ice cream factory. Or take the Blue/Green rail rapids downtown using passes. Switch to the Red Line and go to the West 25th station, across from the West Side Market. Then walk across the Hope Memorial Bridge to Tower City, entering through the backdoor off Prospect Ave.

Another zoo tip. I like to visit Bruno's, one of the better of Cleveland's many very good Italian restaurants, on West 41st St. for lunch to break up my zoo trips. It's located in an interesting neighborhood, but don't let that scare you away. For lunch, park on the street in front of the restaurant.
Bruno's is a favorite of many Clevelanders. It's much more interesting and scrumptious that lunching at the zoo. And the carbs recharge the engines to enable a good ending for a day at the zoo.

We don't use a jogging stroller, but I have to admit there are times where it would be nice to have something a little more robust. Like bumpy sidewalks, going over a curb, or walking on dirt/gravel trails in the parks.
I think the most important aspect of our stroller was that it was compatible with our infant carrier. Not only does this mean you don't have to stir the baby when switching from car to stroller, but the stroller itself is a bit more compact because it doesn't have all the seating fabric and cushioning since it's built into the carrier. They make "travel systems" that do just that, and then convert into a regular stroller for when the baby is older.
Quote:
What about when it snows, do you use a different and heavier stroller?
We won't even try. Too many sidewalks don't get shoveled so it's not even worth the effort. Now if you're just talking about getting through the slush in a parking lot, then yeah you can just use a regular old stroller.
Quote:
(2) Playroom suggestions. I have Googled the Little Gym in SH. Anything else like it? Especially for winter time when it's too cold to go outside.
The Shaker Heights main library has a play room. They also have a separate area specifically for infants that is open only a few days a week.
The Shaker Family Center is another good resource, too.
There's also toddler sized playgrounds throughout Shaker.
