Hike to Brandywine is boardwalk and simple... 5-10 minute walk. If you want to get off the beaten path a little, hike to Blue Hen Falls. Can explore all around there and far less people
Great restaurants at the downtown Akron train stop too.
You need to book the train online. We missed out on the train because it was sold out. I use trip advisor website or just Google the train.to book tickets before your trip.
The hike to the falls is not very far I would start there in the am before the heat gets bad!
Peninsula downtown ..happy hr at winking lizard
