| Many parks exist due to the foresight of a
few visionary individuals, including F.A. Seiberling. He donated more
than 400 acres to expand Sand Run Metro Park. Land that he owned from
1920 to 1948 was purchased by Metro Parks in 1964 to become the Nature
Realm. Native son Seiberling founded Goodyear Tire & Rubber in 1898. The company produced bicycle and carriage tires and went on to capture the automobile tire business. Seiberling's interests went well beyond tires. He helped form the original Akron Metropolitan Park District and was a member of the Board of Park Commissioners from 1924 to 1935. |
