Discover Stow: Parks, Sports and The AMP

If you’re looking for a hotel in Stow, it helps to first decide what brings you to the area. The city offers several distinct attractions: Silver Springs Park has a playground, water activities and a city campground; Adell Durbin Park has hiking trails and a wildflower meadow; Fox Den offers golf; and The AMP is an event venue in downtown Stow. This means there’s a range of options, from outdoor recreation to sports and events. These specific differences can help you choose what to focus on during your trip.

Silver Springs Park: Playground, Lake and Camping

The S.O.A.R. Boundless Playground at Silver Springs Park is a playground for children of varying abilities. Heritage Lake is also in the park and offers opportunities for fishing and kayaking. So, when visiting Silver Springs Park, you can choose between a playground and water activities. The Stow Silver Springs Campground, a city-operated campground, is also located in the park. If you’d like to stay there, check reservation availability in advance, as it can change.

Hiking Trails and a Measured Loop

Adell Durbin Park covers 34 acres and is located on the border between Stow and Munroe Falls. It has extensive hiking trails and a wildflower meadow. Oregon Trail Park offers a different kind of outdoor activity: its newly paved loop is 2,000 feet long and intended for walking and jogging. The two figures describe different things: 34 acres is the area of Adell Durbin Park, while 2,000 feet is the length of the loop at Oregon Trail Park. The comparison is between a park with extensive trails and a meadow and a single loop with a specified length.

Events and Sports

The AMP, the City of Stow’s amphitheater, is located in downtown Stow and has room for more than 2,000 guests. This makes it a specific venue to consider if an event is the reason for your trip; its capacity also gives you an idea of the venue’s size. If you’re planning around a particular date, check relevant event dates in advance. Fox Den is a public 18-hole golf course in Stow. The Oregon Trail Pickleball Courts at Stow Parks and Recreation have five courts, which are available on a “first come, first served” basis. If pickleball is part of your travel plans, check in advance whether the courts are currently available for use.

Dining in Stow

The Café in Stow is an old-fashioned restaurant serving traditional American home cooking from breakfast through dinner. If the type of cuisine is also part of your travel planning, its traditional American focus and stated range of meals are useful points of reference.
