Fred Fuller Park

Fred Fuller Park, off of Middlebury Road, is Kent’s largest park, encompassing over 56 acres of land given to the City of Kent in 1934 by the Lamson & Sessions Company. The park, which borders and crosses the Cuyahoga River, was developed into a multi-use park over the years, primarily through the involvement of Kent citizens.

The Kramer Field complex. that hosts several ball fields, is used in the spring, summer, and fall for youth and adult baseball and softball. A total of four fields, two of which are lighted, are located on this “island” complex, along with a small playground area, restrooms, and a concession stand.

Fred Fuller Park has been a favorite location for family reunions at one of the six picnic shelters. The Roy Smith Shelterhouse provides an enclosed meeting place for organizations and residents of Kent, as well as a venue for receptions, parties, and houses our pre-school programs. A nature trail travels along the edge of the river the entire length of the park and connects to the John Brown Tannery Park on Stow Street. The trail can be accessed from the end of the picnic shelter area, and at the Harvey Redmond Bridge (which crosses the river to Kramer Fields). Fred Fuller Park is also the location of the Main Office of Kent Parks & Recreation.
