New Shelter at F.A. Seiberling Nature Realm
A legacy of the former landowner and Akron industrialist, the F.A. Seiberling Nature Realm is a special-use area set aside for the study and enjoyment of nature. As one of the most visited Summit Metro Parks locations, this area is popular for outdoor gatherings, picnics and recreation. Currently, there is no covered space separate from the Visitors Center that is designed for group gatherings.
The Summit Metro Parks Foundation’s Support Your Parks! campaign will raise funds for a new open-air shelter to be built in the park.
Slated to begin this year, near the existing parking lot at 1828 Smith Road in Akron, this 20′ x 36′ structure will accommodate 48 people across eight picnic tables. Designed with inclusivity in mind, the shelter and its surrounding walkways will be fully ADA accessible.
Contribute to the Support Your Parks! campaign today to ensure a welcoming space for everyone in our community to gather and play.
