Strawberry Acres Park is located at the corner of McCord and Angola Roads. The park originally consisted of 19 acres of land donated to the Village by the Strawberry Festival Organization for the enjoyment of area residents. The Village gifted the Toledo Lucas County Library with a portion of park land to build the Holland branch of the library.
In the summer of 1938, the first Strawberry Festival was held in the park, since then the festival has outgrown the park and is held annually in June at Community Homecoming Park on Angola Road.
The park contains two playground areas, grills, picnic tables, a combination basketball/tennis court and a walking path. The walking path was constructed with Nature Works grants and is 6/10 of a mile long. Two open air pavilions were also constructed with grant funding. All-year restroom facilities with interior heaters and accelerated hand dryers are available at the north end of the park.
