Akron Parks Challenge

The Akron Parks Collaborative has worked with residents in the Middlebury and South Akron neighborhoods in 2023 to update parks that have suffered from years of disinvestment and neglect.

Jewett Park, in Akron's Middlebury neighborhood, is getting a makeover thanks to an Akron Parks Challenge grant.

The funding will be used to upgrade and improve the parks in West Akron and Middlebury.
