Best Playgrounds in Lakewood, Ohio
Lakewood is such a fun town.!There are some incredible restaurants, lots of cool local makers and businesses, and some really, really, really great pizza (here’s lookin’ at you, Booms!). And while Lakewood is home to one of the best playgrounds in the greater Cleveland area (Lakewood Park!), there are also a few other playgrounds in Lakewood that we think are lots and lots of fun. In fact, we like to call Lakewood the playground hub because there are so many great ones. 🤣
Okay — without further ado we’ll kick off the best playgrounds in Lakewood list with the king — Lakewood Park. 👑

This park always reminds me of one of those huge indoor playgrounds, just outside.
It's so much fun, and there is a large structure for bigger kids and a smaller structure for the 2-5-year-olds and some baby swings and regular swings. A large covered bench in the middle of the playground makes it easy to keep an eye on your kids while staying in the shade.
There's also a nice bathroom instead of a porta potty like some parks.
