Plenty of Things to do in Parma, Ohio
Located a short distance from Cleveland and Lake Erie, our city is small in size, but rich in culture and pride. People of all backgrounds are attracted by the variety of things to do in Parma, Ohio and the diversity of its citizens. When Dr. Andy and his team aren’t seeing patients, they love getting out and experiencing life as Parmesans (yes, like the cheese). Here are the top 7 reasons Dr. Andy and his team love living and working in Parma, Ohio:
1. Getting active and breathe in some fresh air
Whether we’re golfing, fishing, swimming or horseback riding, we love to be outdoors. With so many outdoor activities in Parma, there’s never a reason to be stuck inside.
2. Lacing up our skates and hitting the ice
Despite the cold temperature and snowfall in the winter months, we like to stay active year round. Our favorite winter recreational activity is getting some laps in at the Michael A. Ries Ice Rink. They even offer figure skating lessons!

3. Making our taste buds dance
Parmesans know good food. Parma is a true melting pot of cultures, and consequently we enjoy delicious and authentic ethnic food. When we’re in the mood for Polish, you’ll find us at the Little Polish Diner. For authentic Italian, there’s none other than Stancato’s Italian Restaurant. When the craving for schnitzel hits, we head to Das Schnitzel Haus, Parma’s top spot for authentic German cuisine. We all look forward to late summer, when we enjoy Grape Kuchens from Colozza’s Bakery, made with concord grapes picked fresh from the family’s vineyard. It’s all so good!

4. Cheering on the Browns, Cavaliers and Indians
In Parma, we support our neighbors in Cleveland and love the Cleveland Browns, Cavaliers and Indians. If we’re not in the stands on game day, rest assured wherever we are, we’ll be cheering on our teams.
5. Playing with the Animals
We love to spend time at Stearn’s Homestead, the last working educational farm in Parma. It’s a huge hit with the kids! Not only do we love visiting with the animals, but also there’s also a Yankee barn, a country store, and historic museum houses. Every year we catch the Farmers Market in the summer and fall, the Fall Festival and Christmas on the Farm.
Insider tip: Get there early for fresh eggs! They go quick.

6. Spending a day at the beach
Lake Erie is a short drive away and there’s nothing we love more than a relaxing day at the beach with family, friends and a good book during the summer months.
7. Hanging out at the Farmer’s Market
We often bump into each other at Chuppa’s Marketplace, Parma’s largest open-air farmer’s market. We load up on fresh fruits and vegetables, fine cuts of meat and gourmet cheeses for old family recipes and new Pinterest discoveries. For those times the recipes haven’t worked out quite right, they’ve come to our rescue with their homemade prepared foods and delicious catering menu.
