It's KPR's final Summer Sunday Spotlight!!!! And we're ending it with a great one, have you been to Franklin Mills Riveredge Park???

This lovely park follows the Cuyahoga River as it runs through Kent and even downtown. There are different staircases that allow you to fish and wade right into the river. You can even take a look at Heritage Park! Home to Kent's very own lock & dam!

Looking to have a peaceful walk around during your lunch, grab a bite downtown and head to Franklin Mills Riveredge Park!
