Lockville Canal Park

Lockville Canal Park is a 7 acre green space that contains three intact locks that once made up part of the central section of the Ohio and Erie Canal, a 308-mile highway of water that connected Lake Erie at Cleveland to the Ohio River at Portsmouth.

Construction on the locks began on July 4th, 1825 and took over seven years to complete. The canal system propelled Ohio's economy from last in the nation to nearly first in just a few years.
