One block off of Route 3 right off of the Seville, OH town square (it's really just an intersection, not a square) you'll find Cy Hewitt Park.  You'll see a small playground and several ballfields as you enter, but if you continue to the back of the park, a trail leads into the woods where there's one hell of a BMX track with some significantly sized tabletops and gaps.  Unfortunately, unless you've got someone to tow you in on a bike, you probably won't be able to get enough speed to hit anything on the main track. 
 
If you do some exploring, you'll find a 4 foot gap at the base of a hill, with a decent kicker and landing and also a 12 foot gap at the base of a bigger hill, but I have concerns that the hill is not big enough to get enough speed to clear that gap on a mountainboard as it was built for BMX bikes that would be pedaling down the hill the whole way.  The 4 footer I've done multiple times with no problem, as long as I start at the top of the hill. 
 
There's not too much else to ride on a board here, so unless you live closeby, it won't be worth the drive unless you also do BMX in which case I would drive an hour to ride this place.  I live only 3 miles away, so if you decide to check it out, email me and I'll give you the tour.
