Where is parking?
There are several public parking lots in the area (behind Howlin’ Bird, at the library, at the Hoover District, North Canton Middle School) and on streets in the surrounding neighborhoods. North Canton is very walkable, and we love when residents stroll over from home. (It’s one of the things we love most about our city!)
