Living a street away from Lakewood Park is pretty much the only thing that I need to be happy.
The park overlooks Lake Erie with a fantastic view. I was running there yesterday and couldn't believe how beautiful the lake looked.
Speaking of running...they have a walking/running/biking track, which is perfect for those of us who would like to use the park to exercise. It is always clean and there is always a friendly face. I haven't said "hi" to so many strangers in quite a while. There is such a friendly vibe in this park.
There are also many trees, benches, picnic tables, grills, baseball diamonds, volleyball courts, and a skatepark (if you're into that sort of thing) that there is no excuse not to hang out here.
If I ever have to move out of Lakewood, the park, the library, and The Root will be the places that I really miss.
