Climb, Ride, Glide & Play

High ropes course and boat borrowing reopen at two popular parks. Climbing the high ropes course 32 feet in the treetops at Claridon Woodlands is thrilling, and reserving an hour to climb beginning May 24 is simple with the park district’s online reservation module that also allows visitors to check availability first. Admission is free for Geauga residents. To learn age/weight restrictions, safety guidelines and more, visit the park district website.

With at least two weeks prior notice, Thursdays can also be reserved by outside camp or corporate groups with variable schedules based on group needs. Contact Trevor at 440-226-2548 for more information.

There is also a 12-foot-high, 900-square-foot freeform boulder wall, complete with new 2025 routes to mix things up.

Meanwhile at Headwaters Park’s Boathouse, kayaks and canoes, also beginning May 24, can be borrowed first-come-first-served and taken out onto the East Branch Reservoir on Saturdays, Sundays, Mondays, Thursdays and Fridays. Geauga residents can borrow for free for up to two hours for canoe and kayak and one hour max for paddleboats. Provided life vests must be worn at all times, anyone under 18 must be accompanied by an adult, and dogs are not permitted on the boats.

Periodic updates and schedule exceptions for both opportunities are available on the website.
