The city has made numerous recent advancements to its public parks to attract more families and satisfy those that already live there — improvements including a multi-million dollar investment into Foster Pool, the city’s first pickleball courts and plans for an updated skate park. The city also recently undertook a study on how to achieve more access to Lake Erie at Lakewood Park, which already boasts breathtaking views. From great restaurants to walkability and great parks to highly regarded schools, Lakewood offers it all for families. — lakewoodoh.gov
