About the Location

Park Overview

Situated in Akron's University Park neighborhood, Boss Park is a cozy one-acre green space offering a little urban retreat. Though small in size, this local space packs quite a bit of character into its modest footprint.

2021 Transformation

In 2021, Boss Park was transformed through a community-driven redesign project. The revitalized space now features an outdoor classroom area, nature zones, and landscaping designed to provide a sense of calm.

What makes this renovation special is how it came together - a true collaboration with the Leggett Community Learning Center, the elementary school that sits right next door to the park.

Community Heart

Today's Boss Park serves both the school and community: it works as an outdoor learning environment where students can connect with nature, while also providing a green space for local residents. You'll find elements that make the park work as both an extension of the school grounds and a recreational space for the neighborhood.
