Coventry PEACE Park — Attraction in Cleveland Heights

Unfortunately this is not what it used to be.... Still a big park. Still has the slide kids have loved for many generations. Just not the same anymore.

Weeds and ants fill the play area. Graffiti on the wood and slide. All the original staples are still here just not well maintained over the years. Old worn out zip lines that hang a little too low, do not use unless you want a skinned knee. Tire swing is still up as well.

Please watch out for the type of families you may encounter. Kids who climb up the slide. Parents who don't watch their children. Scantily dressed young adults you may not want your child exposed to. Children not playing on equipment properly etc. For example one child today thought it was a great idea to come down the slide with the scooter (pictured). Child let go of scooter almost hurting other kids. 1 adult injured as the heavy scooter picked up speed and hit adults foot. Child's parents nowhere in sight.

Not sure that I can recommend nor want to return. Much nicer playgrounds in Cleveland Heights. There's a lot of nostalgia here if you are familiar but it's a bummer this is what it is...

Forefront: I have a bias towards this place as i grew up in the area and came as a kid.

This park is awesome if you are under the age of 14. The community does a great job to maintain the equipment and the general crowd are fairly friendly. There are a few hidden treats throughout the park so pay close attention and open for imagination for the fun of exploring the quests that await you.

For those older than 14, there are periodically events that are hosted within the park that I've come across such as movie airings, music circles, and more. While I have never stayed for any of these, they do look very fun for the outgoing people looking for unique and new experiences.

Pro tip: bring a blanket to lounge about, and if you are daring, put it under you as you go down the BIG slide. You will fly down far faster. Just be careful on...

I wanted so badly for this park be the answer to my past. But unfortunately this park just didn't do it for me. I did love the original look of a wooden playground, but it was run down. It looks like homeless people take shelter here at night which would make sense since it's very sheltery looking. It was saddening. I heard one parent comment about there being dog poo in the car shaped playground equipment. Eww. It had jagged wood which my little guy nipped his finger on. 😐. It is being replaced in October which I know it will never be the same as this park but from my perspective it was in rough shape. The only thing that this park has going for itself is people made cute little gardens. There's a large rolling hill/picnic in the grass area, and the fact there's a library. Other than that 😳, I was...
