It's summertime here in Ohio, which means it's peak season for watermelon eating, pool lounging, barbecuing and hanging out under the sun with loved ones. But to host the ideal backyard cookout, you'll need the perfect backyard! We rounded up eight Stark County homes with fire pits, pergolas, swimming pools, outdoor decks, playgrounds and brick-paved patios — all of the ingredients needed for a memorable summer. Have fun this season!
