Creekside Properties

Creekside Properties is a wedding venue located in Akron, OH. This property is a rare gem in the midst of a privately owned nature preserve. It spans over 19 acres in the Yellow Creek Valley, with stunning views of the hills, the creek, and the waterfalls. The river runs along the entire length of the property, forming shale cliffs and natural pools that invite exploration and relaxation. The history of Creekside Properties dates back to the 1920s, when Axel Laursen, a prominent investor, acquired the land and decided to create a public park. He hired local workers who had lost their jobs during the Great Depression and gave them a chance to showcase their skills. Together, they built elaborate fountains, a stone horse bridge, a bathhouse, and various walking paths on the grounds. They also dammed the river to create a natural swimming area. These features still stand today as reminders of the past. The facilities of this venue are equally impressive and blend seamlessly with the natural beauty of their surroundings. The venue boasts a mill wheel, a dovecote, and a bathhouse that add to its charm and character.
