Historic neighborhood developed by Firestone Tire and Rubber Company
Developed by rubber pioneer Harvey Firestone in 1915 to house factory workers, Firestone Park is a historic landmark community that’s now home to more than 14,000 residents. At the center of Akron’s southernmost neighborhood is its namesake park in the shape of Firestone’s original logo, with many homes surrounding it. Firestone Park United Methodist Church and Firestone Park Presbyterian Church sit in two corners of the park’s Firestone logo shape. They’re just two of the dozens of houses of worship in the community. “It’s definitely one of the city’s more suburban neighborhoods,” says Carly Sablotny, Realtor with Keller Williams Living, who sells in Firestone Park. “So, if you want a home in the city but with a more suburban feel, Firestone Park is a good option.”

Outdoor fun and art programs at Firestone Park
Firestone Park offers plenty of outdoor activities, where locals can go to play tennis, have fun on the playground, stroll along the tree-lined walkway and cool off by running through sprinklers on the splash pad. It’s also home to a community center, which frequently hosts art programs for kids. Firestone Stadium is just down the road. Once home to the Akron Racers professional softball team, the stadium now serves as the host for high school softball tournaments. Nature enthusiasts can head to Firestone Metro Park to walk through wooded trails with scenic bridges over lakes where residents can fish. During winter, the park is a popular destination for cross-country skiing and sledding.

Annual dance celebrations
The Heinz Poll Summer Dance Festival has been an annual tradition in Akron since 1974. The festival honors the founding artistic director of Ohio Ballet by hosting dance performances in parks all over Akron, including Firestone Park. A summer concert series is held at the park, drawing large crowds to enjoy live music from June through August. The first Sunday of August at Firestone Park is designated for a performance by the Akron Symphony. Come December, locals gather for a holiday tree lighting. Throughout the month, Firestone Park Presbyterian Church puts a “Blessings Box” in the park’s community center where people can donate gloves and other essentials for children during Akron’s annual Hugs and Gloves event.

Big box stores and local eats
Residents do much of their shopping and dining on Waterloo Road on the south side of Firestone Park. Shopping centers feature big box retailers and grocery stores like Giant Eagle Supermarket, Big Lots and several more. It’s also full of popular restaurants and late-night hangout spots. Mi Casa is the go-to restaurant for margaritas and Mexican Food, while House of Hunan serves up a variety of Asian-style dishes. Hyde Out serves Japanese food until 2:30 a.m. daily, making it a popular spot for post-midnight sushi runs. And Basement Sports Bar & Grill stays up just as late, where locals can grab some wings, drinks and cheer on Cleveland sports teams. Aster Avenue runs through the less bustling and more residential area of Firestone Park, where a few local businesses are set up. They include A Walk In The Park Café - a quirky spot for coffee and local art, and Boardwalk Sales – a thrift store full of treasures.
