About the Venue

Kerr Park Playground is a revitalized neighborhood play space in West Akron that emerged through a community-led build supported by local health and park partners. Summit County Public Health identifies Kerr Park as one of the area's inclusive playground projects, and Akron park materials confirm a major new playground installed in 2021. Families can expect a refreshed neighborhood park setting rather than a highly programmed destination venue. It is most appealing for local outdoor play, community feel, and an updated playground in a modest park footprint.
