Preston’s H.O.P.E. Playground in Cleveland, OH

Last Updated: 1/25/2023

Early this year, I was in the Beachwood area and knew I had to stop by the Preston's H.O.P.E. Playground to see it for myself. I had only heard good things about it, so I knew I would be impressed. Little did I know just how impressed I would be!

It really is quite amazing, and the best part is that any and every child can play at Preston's H.O.P.E. because it's a fully-accessible playground. The largest in Northeast Ohio!

Because pictures speak 1,000 words, this write-up is going to be filled with images.  Enjoy!

Note: The day I was there it was unseasonably cold, which is why you don't see any kids playing in these pictures.

All About Preston's H.O.P.E. Playground

First off, the playground is HUGE. The picture above is an aerial snapshot of the entire grounds, as you can tell it keeps going and going and going!

The playground is comprised of various walkways that lead to different buildings you will find in Cleveland, including: Mt. Sinai Town Center, Bank of America, Clothing Stores, a Barber Shop, School House, a Gym, and a Fire Station (just to name a few).

Children can easily enter each building and play with the themed activities inside each one.

Next up is the Sand Area. There is one huge sandbox made to look like you are digging up dinosaur bones as well as other sandboxes that you can either sit or stand to use.

Of course, no playground would be complete without swings. The swing area contains infant swings, regular swings, and fully-accessible swings.

As you can tell, Preston's H.O.P.E. Playground has it all! And it's completely FREE.

And the reason it is FREE to use is due to the generous donations of the people who use it. So if you do plan to visit, remember to place a dollar or two in the donation box to help support this fantastic playground.

Tips for Visiting Preston's H.O.P.E. Playground

  • The park is large and it’s helpful to have more than one adult if you’re taking multiple children, but the whole park is fenced for safety.
  • The playground has a lot of soft rubber walking and landing area, but it can get hot during the heat of the day.
  • Although the houses have covers, the park doesn’t have much shade. Sunscreen or a hat might be needed on sunny days.
  • With so much to do, it's always a good idea to bring snacks and drinks from home so you can enjoy a longer visit.

    Spent over 3 hours with my kids (3 and 5) there. They had a blast and didn’t want to leave. This is the best playground we have found since I have moved to Cleveland. They have now replaced all the areas with artificial turf (fake grass). We will be back very soon.

    Thank you for this write up about Preston’s H.O.P.E. Park. We live closer to Warren, OH but this park was worth the drive! My son is 2 and enjoyed the park so much, especially the Dino Dig. We can’t wait to go back again. He spent almost 2 hours playing and if he wouldn’t have missed nap time I’m sure he could’ve spent the WHOLE day here!

    Preston’s H.O.P.E. park is the BEST park I have ever been to, and we visit a lot of parks! We packed a lunch and we were there for 6 hours … The kids still were not ready to leave … But we didn’t bring any food for dinner ? We visited last summer, and my kid still talk about this park … We will definatly be going back again this year! AWESOME!
