Gather your family for a picnic at Goodyear Heights Metro Park (2077 Newton St, Akron, OH 44305)-the driver will drop everyone off right at the main entrance near the Lois Yount Pavilion, so you don't have to lug coolers and cornhole sets from a distant parking lot.

Instead of splitting into carpools or trying to coordinate rideshares-which can easily cost $15-$30 per car for a round trip across town-your group stays together in one comfortable vehicle with a driver. We'll navigate the traffic on Merriman Road and dodge the bottlenecks where Portage Trail meets State Road in Cuyahoga Falls, while you sit back and enjoy the ride.
