Firestone Park - Akron, OH

Area Guide

Share Guide

Firestone Park lies a few miles south of downtown Akron. Like other neighborhoods in Akron, it can trace its roots back to the early 1900s, when neighborhoods were developed and houses built to accommodate workers in the city's rubber industry. The neighborhood is filled with sidewalks and tree-lined streets.

A handful of city parks scattered throughout the neighborhood provide a place for residents to get outdoors. Ms. Julie's Kitchen, a vegetarian restaurant in the heart of the neighborhood, draws in both residents and visitors throughout the year. Residents also enjoy easy access to both I-77 and I-76, which surround the area, and access to public transportation via the numerous bus stops.
