Outdoor Activities
Such a great place for the kids. My two bous (6&8) loved it. We explored the nature Center and went for a hike too!
Rocky River Nature Center
Amazing new park in Strongsville. My kids stay and play for hours. We go from the park to the splash pad when they get too warm! Nice edition.
Parks, Pavilions & Ballfields
Great for hiking, swimming, walking. Go in the fall for a hike around the reservoir. It's stunning.
Hinckley Lake
Super cute lake perfect for little ones. They can dig in the sand and get their feet wet without having to head to Lake Erie.
Wallace Lake
Restaurants
Legit the best happy hour in Strongsville. They even have it on Saturdays. Get the fries with short ribs and the wings.
Square 22 Restaurant and Bar
Super nice staff. Get a lemon bundtlet and thank me later 🤣
Nothing Bundt Cakes
Best pizza in my opinion. Nothing compares. The sweet sauce and cheese they use is magical.
Romeo's Pizza
They have the best speciality pizzas. Prepare to be throughly full after. A different and much needed take on pizza in the area.
Ohio Pie Co
I’ve been eating here for decades and no other Mexican restaurant compares. The staff is amazing and their food is consistently good. Margs are strong and they have lots of specials! Try the margarita flight or guava marg.
Cozumel Brunswick
Sweet staff. New inside. The chicken and waffles slaps. Every single time. And it's super affordable compared to all the other breakfast places in the area.
Jennifer's Restaurant
I love this Medina addition. Shop a little and eat a little and drink a little. Perfect one stop shop. Then wander up to the square for ice cream at Chill!
The Farmer’s Table
I lived right down the road when I was pregnant with my first son and it was a blessing and a curse. Every day there are new flavors. It makes it difficult to say no to cravings !
Chill Artisan Ice Cream
Arts & Entertainment
Super clean and modern and the staff is very kind. I love the recliners and being able to preorder snacks for pickup. Seamless!
Cinemark Strongsville at Southpark Mall
A day at the new park right behind Mitchell's and then ice cream and your kids will think you're a cool mom. Not like a regular mom.
