Cascade Locks Park, a Heritage Park for Akron's Future, offers a unique opportunity to celebrate Akron's industrial, commercial and cultural heritage and reclaim a bit of long abandoned and abused urban geography into an outdoor laboratory for environmental education, historic interpretation and community recreation. Cascade Locks Park is an integral part of the Ohio & Erie National Heritage Canalway and has sparked the revitalization of the Downtown neighborhood.
DEVELOPMENT DESCRIPTION: Built in 1837, the historic mercantile facility on the Ohio & Erie Canal, located off of North Street, was recently restored with a partnership between the City of Akron, Natural Park Service, Metro Parks, Serving Summit County, and the Cascade Locks Association.
