Parks
The Village is fortunate to have an abundant amount of green space to work, play and live near. Our parks provide a place to visit, play, picnic, scenic views and quiet walks in the woods. Three waterfalls along the Chagrin River provide inspiration to experience all that Chagrin Falls has to offer.
Village parks are free to all to visit and enjoy. Park events and weddings are permitted, although some organized events require an application and special approval. Visit the park event request page for more information.
