Old Kent Jailhouse

Tucked inside Fred Fuller Park in Kent, Ohio, the Old Kent Jailhouse is a historic building turned intimate gathering space, operated by Kent Parks & Recreation. The single-room venue seats up to 22 guests at six six-foot tables, making it a natural fit for bridal showers, baby showers, photoshoots, and small meetings. A large deck overlooks the Cuyahoga River, lending small celebrations a scenic outdoor perch. Inside, renters have use of a kitchenette, tables and chairs for 22, restrooms, air conditioning, and public Wi-Fi. Parking sits at the bottom of the sidewalk leading up to the building. The jailhouse is available on weekday evenings and throughout the day on weekends, with dates bookable up to six months in advance through Kent Parks & Recreation.
