Visiting the Huntington Reservation and Beach is like breathing in a breath of fresh air. The park has been a part of Cleveland Metroparks since 1927. During the warmer months of the year, the beach is a popular outdoor and swimming spot for families and fans of aquatic fun. The Huntington Reservation offers an excellent opportunity for a hike no matter what time of year it may be, as its level terrain makes the trail accessible to runners and hikers of all skill levels. You can also fish year round, and the breakwalls offer perfect vantage points from which to cast your line.

This is most definitely not your ordinary bowling alley-it's more of a bowling emporium!

Either way, an incredible experience awaits you at this award winning zoo.
