Denison Park

A Slice of Green in Cleveland Heights

Found in Cleveland Heights, Ohio, Denison Park offers 11.8 acres of recreational space where locals come to play, exercise, and simply breathe a little easier. This neighborhood space sits at the northeastern edge of Cleveland Heights, right beside the flowing Euclid Creek - on land that once housed the bluestone quarries that helped build Cleveland from the ground up.

Take a Lap (or Three)

Feeling like stretching your legs? The park's asphalt path wraps around its perimeter, offering a pleasant 0.35-mile loop for walkers and joggers alike. Three laps will get you pretty close to a mile - excellent for tracking your daily exercise goals. What makes these walks especially nice is the canopy of tall trees that line the trails, providing welcome shade during those warm Ohio summer days.
