Adell Durbin Park — Attraction in Stow

Very nice park with convenient parking, a playground, trails and lighted tennis courts. I rated it five stars, but honestly it could use a little more TLC. Unfortunately there were signs of vandalism who thought we wanted to see their blue spray paint on the rocks and trees. Also, some of the trails could use some brush clearing and sign updates.

Be prepared for some climbing and steps! There is plenty to see...

Literally, there was no more bridge for you to walk across to cross over the revene. No signs posted, tape, safety precautions, nothing. Very disappointed. The trails should have been completely closed off to begin with. What was left is not a safe area. I am not sure whats happening with this park, but it seems as of right now, the trails are no...

Took stroll on trails yesterday and almost fell off stairs that come to an abrupt end without warning. VERY dangerous especially to my children running ahead of me. This trail should be closed and blocked off. After scaling past the dangerous end of steps, came to fallen trees across path. Was saddened to see conditions have worsened over past year. On walk back to playground found rusted nails from freshly torn down building, and grills with rusted pipes waiting for next victim. Park security was there to lock up bathrooms on time, but surely no one is patrolling the paths or grounds for...
