Parks

Olmsted Falls has a wide variety of parks for your recreation and enjoyment. We welcome you to come visit them and see what we have to offer.  Take a relaxing stroll in your parks and experience the unique beauty of our City's natural and man-made resources.  The City of Olmsted Falls does not rent or reserve any of the parks, gazebos or pavilions.  They are all utilized on a first come, first serve basis.

Although the city does have access to the river we want to remind everyone that there is NO SWIMMING IN THE RIVER.
