The Meyers Lake neighborhood is a combination of city and suburban living with a park and lake.
Canton’s lake minutes from downtown
Meyers Lake, a 144-acre private lake, is the namesake of this neighborhood, home to more than 2,000 Stark County residents. Once the location of Meyers Lake Amusement Park, the area has quieted down while remaining minutes away from the excitement of Downtown Canton. Three-bedroom ranches and bungalows hug the lake and provide a scenic view within the city's heart just minutes from two established school districts, Canton City School District and Plain Local Schools. Meyers Lake is also home to some of the Canton area's oldest and most popular restaurants and shopping destinations. Downtown Canton and major attractions, such as the Pro Football Hall of Fame and the Stark County Fairground, are minutes away by car or public transportation.
Bungalows and ranch styles right by the lake
For such a small district, the diversity of styles is noticeable in Meyers Lake and includes multi-story brick houses built in the 1980s, newer bungalow and ranch styles, as well as some split-level homes. Homes are typically two and three-bedroom, ranging from $110,000 for a smaller bungalow to $280,000 for a larger ranch style or split-level. Prices tend to rise the closer one gets to Meyers Lake. “The area also has a lot of newer housing developments popping up around the lake,” says Crystal Bean, the fair secretary for the Stark County Fairgrounds for almost two years, who is a proud Stark County resident.

Lakeside shopping and dining options
Meyers Lake Plaza Shopping Center is the primary shopping spot, offering various stores, from Big Lots to Battlegrounds to Board Games, an independent retailer. Dining out in the neighborhood provides multiple popular options, such as Tim’s Tavern, a fixture for fried fish. There is also Meyers Landing Bar and Grill, offering a spot for friends to watch the big game. For groceries, Acme Fresh Market lies just outside the neighborhood’s northern border, and big-box stores, including Walmart, are 2½ miles to the south of the neighborhood.
There is no shortage of popular shopping destinations in and around Meyers Lake, like Big Lots.

Football and Stark County Fair
Fourth of July fireworks at the McKinley Monument are a tradition in Canton, as is the Pro Football Hall of Fame Festival, a week-long celebration every August that culminates in a parade, football game and the annual enshrinement ceremony. Just south of Meyers Lake is the scene for the Stark County Fair, which has taken place the week before Labor Day for over 175 years. “The event strives to be community-oriented,” with exciting experiences like “the truck and tractor pull, which is a huge hit,” says Bean. The fair also features music, animals, delicious fairground treats and exciting rides. For more seasonal fun, Tom Benson Stadium, which is adjacent to the Pro Football Hall of Fame, hosts numerous high school and college football games every fall.
The McKinley National Monument is a great way to spend the afternoon.
The Pro football Hall of fame is not far from Meyers Lake.
