Carved into the natural landscape of Lakewood’s largest park, the nearly 500-foot-long Solstice Steps provide an escape from the hustle and bustle of life. Sit down, breathe deeply (put down that iPhone) and enjoy a picnic, read a book or just work on your tan all while taking in the sights and sounds of Lake Erie. Pro tip: Visit at sunset to experience the fire and fury of a beautiful Great Lakes sky. Bonus: Free Wi-Fi means even workaholics can enjoy the lake’s calming breeze from the massive concrete steps. 14532 Lake Ave., Lakewood, onelakewood.com
