Go, Baby, Go!

One of the most unusual things that people living in Northfield like to do is spend a day at the local coliseum for a chariot race (togas optional). Okay, the coliseum is more of a standard dirt racetrack and the chariots are flimsy, single jockey, two wheeled carriages and the racing is done at a brisk trot rather than a breakneck gallop, BUT the fun and excitement are real. The Northfield Park has harness races every week of the year. Renters can get in on the action by wagering on the horses and their supine jockeys or simply watching the horses fly by at a quicker than average pace. These types of horse races, unlike the more common thoroughbred racing that can be found throughout much of the country, are considered to be more intellectual, requiring a great deal of strategy (and bravery) from the jockeys (who are strapped onto a terrifying apparatus hooked up mere inches behind a running horse) rather than relying largely on the muscle power of the horse.

Going Outside to Play

There are a few parks in Northfield that renters can enjoy all year round. The town is home to a couple different playgrounds for the kids and a nature park with walking trails and wildlife viewing opportunities. Any of these parks are a great place for a picnic in the warm summer months or for snowman building when the weather cools in the winter. Head a short ways out of town and you'll also be able to enjoy the natural beauty of Cuyahoga Valley National Park. Here, visitors can enjoy hiking and mountain biking up to secluded waterfalls, kayaking in the briskly flowing water, and spending a few nights sleeping out under the stars.
