Lions Park 1955

Lions Park at Sixth Street and Silver Lake Boulevard runs through to Monroe Avenue. It was donated to the city by the Cuyahoga Falls Lions Club, who also initially developed the lodge building and play areas. Lions park was the first to haveĀ  the only lighted basketball court along with public playground equipment.

Not sure what’s going on here but this group of photos are labeled Lion’s Park, 1955.

  1. Looks like Pet Show day at the summer playground program. We did this at Valley Vista and Linden in the 60s and early 70s and came up with a category for every pet to win! Wiggliest tail, prettiest smile, happiest ears, etc.

  2. It was about 1960 or a little later during the summer they had a bring your pet to the park or something. I brought my goat. It won for most unusual pet.
