Cascade Locks Park, a Heritage Park for Akron's Future, offers a unique opportunity to celebrate our 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 our downtown neighborhood. Learn more by exploring our site and links to efforts in the neighborhood and throughout the Canalway.
