Edgewater Park Reviews

I have never seen so many people in one public space without a specific event of some sort taking place. Some people were using the space to exercise or throw a frisbee around, ride a bike, or barbecue. Some people were just sitting alone reading a book under a tree, basically treating the space like it was there own private backyard.

We were advised to go there....such a pretty place with walking areas and views of the water. It's a beautiful place to spend a sunny day. Don't miss it

Since Metroparks took management back from state/city, this place is clean and traffic flow/parking has been consistently improved. Of course, Lake Erie is the big attraction, but appreciating the diverse community that appreciates this space is it’s own special reward too.

Can see the beautiful lake Erie up close and personal. Stopped here at night and during the day. Didn't get to do much as time was limited. Would definitely be back if in area.

Good trip. We arrived at approximately 6 pm and made our way towards the entrance of the trail. The parking lot was huge and there were plenty of places to park. We opted to walk the Edgewater Beach Trail, which was a roughly 1.4 mile loop around the park. The trail was relatively easy and consisted of walking on a flat paved or dirt surface for a majority of the walk. The trail mostly took us through a forest, with occasional views of Lake Erie. On the way back, we opted to walk through the sand. The beach was closed on the day that we went due to sewage water overflow. Near the main entrance were several concession stands, along with restrooms and several picnic tables.

Tip: I recommend spending 45 minutes here (longer if you want to spend more time swimming and doing beach activities).

We had finished up touring the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame early and wanted to explore the lake front. We looked up parks in our GPS and saw the name Edgewater and said, that sounds like it'll work!

We pulled into the park and saw a circular parking lot overlooking the water. We snapped some photos and saw a sign that said Dog Beach with an arrow. Unfortunately we were on vacation without our dog but we bring them to the beach in our home state all the time so we decided to check it out.

You walk through this nice green grassy path on the side of a hill. You'd swear you were in California or the Bahamas or something, not Cleveland Ohio. It was crazy. We reached a small wooded area and popped out on the dog beach. The beach is a long crescent and half is the dog beach and other half is the people beach.

After the beach is a large park perfect for picnics with plenty of trees for shade. The day we were there there happened to be an Art in the Park event with 4 or 5 tents of vendors and a live jazz band. We walked around the rocks and the pier that juts out into the water and there were a few couples doing wedding photos and a lot of dogs being walked.

The water was cool and clean. We had never been to a beach on a lake before and we hadn't even planned on swimming that day which was a shame as we did not have our bathing suits handy. Instead we got some burgers from the food stand and had a picnic and wished our dogs were with us.

It does not matter what time of year you go now. It is just a really nice place to visit rain or shine. If you like walking, running, entertainment etc. I love Edgewater Park now.

Beach has fine sand and is very roomy, with a dog beach at one end. Shallow water for the kids and great views of Lake Erie. We found quite a bit of sea glass while we were there also New beach house is nice as well.

We stopped at edgewater park to eat and did not expect the park to be what it was. Not being from the area I would consider the park a hidden gem. It was clean and active. We happened to stop during there centennial celebrations so there was a lot of activities from sand castle contest to vollyball tournaments. I wish we had more time to stay and participate.

Would recommend anyone looking for a place to swim, a beach, picnic areas, etc. to check this place out.

Always enjoy going to look at the lake and walk the pier. My kids love the beach. They just built a new structure where people gather, eat and drink?but we haven't walked into, but looks great.

A nice beach, pretty clean and they had food trucks ,so you can have fun and not have to worry about food! The water wasn't too deep for the younger kids, but was sort of muddy.
On thursdays they have live music which was very nice!

Lakeside park with a beach, picnic area, marina concessions and grassy areas with trees. Lovely views of the lake. Water was a bit rough on a windy day.

Beautiful views of the lake. Fun for everyone-great fireworks on the 4th!! Nice place to take the family swimming.

Large park with plenty of parking, lots of shaded picnic tables, grills, nice beach, a picnic shelter and clean porta potties. The views of the lake and of downtown Cleveland are fabulous from here. The grass isn't the greenest and it isn't the cleanest, but it's pretty darn good for a park so close to downtown. Oh, don't miss the Cleveland sign shaped with the iconic script.

We came to visit from NY. We started at the script sign to take a picture. Then we found a shady spot to eat a packed lunch and the kids played in the playground. It was a very fun playground and the kids loved it. We then went swimming at the beach. Great and long day and it was all free!

Nice park! Nice view! Windy a little bit! Make sure you got a jacket or something. Also, it was crazy seeing kids in the lake at this time of the year! Don't do that! It is colddddd!!!

stopped at the Overview of the lake to take some snap shops - then headed home. We always love taking our kids to the beach area for them to swim but this trip we had no time for ...

This is a very nice long stretch of beach on Cleveland's near Westside of Downtown. Perfect for picnics and fun in the sun. A great stop before or after an Indian's Game. Clean and easy to get to.

This is a decent park to go for a walk with your dog or a jog. It also has a nice view of Cleveland.

Great skyline view of Downtown Ohio. It has picnic tables and grills, public well maintain bathrooms.
Rocks surrounding the beach, make perfect seating area for nice photography.
Easy to park. I have not seen any pets, so i am not sure if its pet friendly.

I grew up in Cleveland but never had the chance to go to Edgewater until recently. It is a great place to hang out, visit the bar, go for a walk, and have fun at our beautiful lake. Everyone should visit here.

My guy and I were at Edgewater Park for the Kite Festival in July 2014. My guy sold a kite while we were there. It was a nice Festival with many interesting kites to watch fly in the air. We were here in August of 2013 and we found a path that led us to a nice beach location to get some sun for about 2 hrs. We went into the water to our ankles. We were here in July,2008 to go to the beach. We took a path that lead us to the beach. We were there for an hour and then Emergency Squads showed up to try to save a person who had drowned and died. We took a path that took us to a location on the beach and we later found out that this was where the Sewage went into Lake Erie.,

Views for miles on a sunny day. Beautiful view of downtown Cleveland and Lake Erie. A little windy this day and water was choppy. Great photo opportunity! Lots of trails and paved surfaces to walk. Plenty of grassy areas to have a picnic. Beach is large and relatively clean—typical sticks and lake debris but nothing gross.

The site of the 2018 USA Triathlon Age Group National Championships. The beach and (new) beachouse are lovely. As we ran, we had great views of the park via all the walking paths. Really enjoyed this venue (the swells in Lake Erie, notsomuch!)

Spent the day here. Lots of fun. Clean restrooms. Plenty of parking. Beach was clean. Good food available or u can bring your own. Dog friendly

Very nice lake-front park with expansive views of Lake Erie and downtown Cleveland. This is one of the few places you can actually get to Lake Erie in Cleveland, and it has the large "Cleveland" sign that's so popular for photos. Some snack food and ice cream is available from vendors, and there are bathrooms and changing rooms. Nice sandy beach. Worth a visit if you're in the neighborhood.

This is a park with a long beach a couple of miles west of downtown. It is used for swimming and for picnics during the summer and for walks the rest of the year. It is quite extensive and has nice facilities and free parking. There are beautiful views of the coast and Cleveland

I come here to walk my dog. The beach is divided into two areas, pet friendly and only for people. The view of Cleveland is very nice. I sometimes eat lunch there and say that my food is cheap and my view is expensive.

We love every experience we have each time we visit this lovely spot on the North Coast of Cleveland. The most spectacular event is, believe it or not, the Kite Festival! This really does give new meaning to the term: Team Work! You will enjoy!

It was my first time visiting a lake front beach. I grew up on the Alabama Gulf Coast, so I'm used to ocean beaches.
The beach at Edgewater Park was a different experience for me. However, it was enjoyable.
Not sure what was going on, but on the day I went (July 5) they were not allowing folks out too far at all out in the water. I'm only 5-8 and the farthest out they were allowing people was about just below my nipples.
Or maybe this is an everyday restriction? I'm not sure.
The seagulls were out in full force. They weren't bothering anyone. It was just a nice number of them.
The beach was cleaned. However, I did notice a few pieces of debris in the water along with a few traces of algae.
There's a concession stand with reasonably priced snacks and drinks. The picnic tables were cleaned.
The restroom was adequately cleaned. However, there was an smell of you know what and what.
The best thing about this urban beach is that it's accessible by city bus. My hotel was in North Olmsted. It only took me an hour to get to this beach by city bus and train.

We came by on a Sunday afternoon in July, managed to find parking despite a huge event in the park, and parked ourselves on the sand. It was busy but not obnoxiously crowded. We were, unfortunately, not able to go out and actively swim - the water was too rough and the lifeguards were STRICT about kids going in over their knees. The sand play was great, though, and farther down the beach was an un-guarded area where people were swimming at their own risk (we played there for a while too, very fun).

The restrooms were plentiful and clean (only two "family" rooms, so we did have to wait for a bit), there is a snack bar and a band come out to play live music as we were leaving around 5pm.

We had a great visit and would go again if we were ever in the area.

Came to Cleveland in June 2015 and this is the first place i headed too. The Park is beautiful with lush greenery and the beach is amazing. Best place to relax on a summer day!

Edgewater Park is a nice park. The Metroparks recently acquired the park and has made considerable improvements to the facilities and the park. The beach area is much cleaner than it has ever been and overall maintenance of the park is well done. The city has decided to turn the shoreway into a boulevard and lower the speed limit to 35mph so it will be interesting to see what that does to the park itself as they are still working on the plantings and roadwork.

What a great park! The beach is large and clean. The green areas are huge and give many different views of the water and the city. Whiskey has a pretty view of the lighthouse and boat traffic. The Parkinson's areas are scattered throughout so you can navigate the entire property even if mobility is an issue.

There's a lot of construction for condos near the park and road/path construction closer to the park, so it required some creative navigating to get there.

It's more for residents than tourists. Paved paths for walking, jogging, biking. On a Sunday morning at 9am, many people were using the park. There's a pier for fishing and a waterfront full of boulder breakers. I didn't see the beach. The grounds are mostly open fields. There isn't much of a view, just open water. You can't see the city. It's a nice place for a long walk.

We stopped here while in the area. We were the only ones out there and it was very nice. Loved seeing the lake.

Nice, clean beaches and very large picnic and grassy areas. Its a great view of downtown from the pier. Loved the After Work parties with music and food trucks.

The lakefront is cool again. The park is so clean and so well maintained. The free concerts during the summer and the other attractions are a bonus for going to this spot. Great place to walk the path or to sit on a boulder and contemplate the lake. When the sun is setting this is the place that you want to be.

I swear, you can find half the population of Cleveland at Edgewater Park on sunny summer afternoons for Edgewater Park Live. A ton of food and a few alcohol vendors come down to the beach, live music is playing, and the atmosphere can't be beat! It's also a popular spot for 4th July grilling and fireworks. There's a huge grassy area for sports and group activities too!

Relatively small beach area (i.e. you won't be able to a really long walk on the beach, if that's what you like), but pleasant enough. It was good for when my kids were younger as the waves weren't too much, though the water can get kind of gross. I like the trees, view of the Cleveland skylines and the path that winds around. Plenty of free parking. Be sure to check the BeachGuard daily for the water quality to make sure swimming is an option. Mix of all kinds of people. Great kite-flying area on the other side of the parking lot. There's a small playground up a hill behind the beach.

Just a few minutes drive from Downtown, this spot gives you a nice view to the skyline. I recommend to go there in the late afternoon to have the best overview.

I've lived in the akron area for about a year now and usually venture to Cleveland since there is more to do. I never heard about this hidden gem until a few days ago and was glad I went.

The beach is really clean and police are in the area to keep it safe, lifeguards are also on duty. There is a lot of parking and a lot to entertain anyone. The walking paths, shelter houses, and the beach house were very clean which is surprising for a public park.

The beach also does have a dog friendly area separate from the main beach. The beach house has affordable concessions and even a very reasonably priced bar with draft beers on the top floor.

Must visit if you want to sit by the water and relax outside.

Currently under a little bit of construction, this park is still amazingly beautiful. We spent a whole afternoon here on a weekend trip.

Even with the construction work affecting road access this is still a nice place to visit. Plenty of lakeside views and a great perspective on the city itself.

Went to take pictures with the 'Cleveland' sign. The park was beautiful. View was amazing. Very Clean. Will come back when it is warmer out!

Great views of the lake and a very nice pretty clean park. I sat on the pier for a good while and watched the sail boats go by and enjoyed the nice breeze.

My husband and I went to Edgewater a few times during the summer and it was nice. The grounds were well kept and the new Beach House is a nice feature to have. The Edgewater Live that went on during the summer was awesome. I thought it was a great way to showcase Edgewater. The beach was well kept whenever we visited. Overall it was nice and we will be back next year when the weather permits.

Edgewater Park is home to the script Cleveland, which is great for pictures. On top of that, the beach is beautiful and the views are incredible.

Nice stroll and great view of Cleveland downtown with CLEVELAND logo here. Dog park is near by for dog lovers. Clear sign on sandy beach for water quality during summer time.

Never thought I would say I went to a concert on the beach in Cleveland, Ohio! But on Thursday evenings in the summer thats where I go! Meeting up with old friends and new and enjoying some music, drinking an adult beverage, what could be a better way to spend a summer night? The area is safe, clean, and a great mix of all kinds of people enjoying the afternoon! Music starts around 5 and goes til 9. Watch the sun set on a great day!

Stopped in to get the tourist pics of the Cleveland script ... friendly locals & plenty of young people on bike & jogging - clean with police patrol to make you feel safe as well - A must stop, maybe next time a picnic lunch!

Huge park facing lake Erie with of view of the city of Cleveland.
Located in the town of Lakewood only a few miles from downtown

The Metroparks have done a fantastic job since taking over management of Edgewater. The beach is far cleaner, raked daily & very little trash. The beach house they built last year is great with better bathrooms & concessions & a BAR! In the summer they have Edgewater Live on Thursdays which is a really good time....live bands on stage on the beach & $5 beers on the beach.

Great park. Great views. Lots of shade and picnic tables. Parking can be a little difficult. Enjoyed it.

This is a beautiful expanse of Lake Erie shoreline! I'm so happy to hear that improvements have been made to this site!

Words cannot express how much I loved this park!

Wonderful walking/running trails, beach access, stunning views and clean! This park has it all!

If you're in Cleveland, definitely a must see location!

Edgewater Park is divided into two parts. The lower part offers beach access and the upper part provides a great view of the city skyline. There are two parking lots in the upper area; the upper lot has the best view of the city. It's a great place to photograph the city during blue hour in the evening.

Good location, very nice, clean kid playing area. The beach area is good with rinse off station and restroom for changing, foods, except the water is not clean, it seem to have a lot of decomposed tiny stuff from tree, leaf or something not trash in the water
and wash up, not sure if this is year round condition or just during my visit in middle of July. It would be a wonderfull beach to swim, relax and play if the water is clean. Definitely not good when accidentally swallow the water.

Relaxing spot close to downtown welcomes bikers, runners, dog walkers, skate boarders, beach bums, people watchers, bible studiers, meditators, exercisers, fishermen, swimmers, and nature lovers who will all enjoy this peaceful spot just down the lake from the city center. I would be here at least weekly if I live in Cleveland!

This is an excellent park, with thousands of feet of Lake Erie shoreline. It has great views of the skyline, a large swimming beach, and a pier. We drove through the park and were impressed! It's worth a visit, and would make a good picnic spot!

i was there in summer... many people were swimming at the lake... was great.... but no performance... but overall, was clean

Great place to get some sun on the beach. Clean vibrant waterfront park with pier, paved walking trails and picnic areas. Great place to watch people riding bikes, rollerblading, walking, fishing, cooking out or flying kites. Beautiful views of Lake Erie and all the boats and sailboats enjoying the lake. Great location to see the city both day and night.

I was born not far from this park. It has been a few year since I have been back but it is just as beautiful as I remembered. This is a great park for any occasion you can think of. You get a beautiful view of not only the lake but downtown as well.
Great place to walk bike ride jog or any activity. if you are going to visit Cleveland and want to go to the lake you can't go wrong with this park.

It's still there though probably a lot more safe to travel. We used to park around 73rd off Detroit and walk down to see the fireworks. Shame they don't have them there anymore. Great stuff!!! Almost takes me to tears just thinking about it. They want people to come back and I have every year and STILL miss those little things that made Cleveland what it is. The honey ice cream you can get at the beach on the lower part of the park is nice but they don't seem to have a lot of honey in the ice cream but it's still nostalgic. Then, take a walk to the upper level of Edgewater and watch the sunset and take the walk back. ALL safe! Really a nice place to end an evening and perhaps take a walk over to Don's lighthouse. I could go on and on. I lived and grew up inner Cleveland. I LOVE this town!!!! Can't say enough good about it and the flats are still the coolest area to drive around and stop for a beer or play darts or even visit the new restaurants.

I would have given this an excellent rating except for the massive amount of road construction occurring. Be prepared to circle a lot to get to the parking area. Once there, this is a great place to view Lake Erie, unless you are in a high rise hotel near the shore. The park is well kept and has restroom facilities. There is a pier of sorts, but it will get you over the water. The view of downtown Cleveland is great.

Nifty little beach, summers I hear are wonderful here. Great place for kids to play, adults to walk. Photo ops galore!

We came upon this Park, during our exploration of the Lake Erie shoreline.
Being Labor Day (with a National Air Show in progress, unbeknownst to us originally), however; access was no longer allowed when we passed by.
Fortunately, we happenstanced upon Cliff Dr.; and were afforded the opportunity to stop above the Park, and immerse in the magnificent views of the Lake, coastline and downtown Cleveland.
We certainly came to understand why this location is such an asset, for inhabitants and visitors, to enjoy the beauty of the area's natural and man-made splendor.

Since taking over this park from city - state it has continued to just get better and better. Big things planned for this summer!

Wonderful to see all the positive and cool changes to this area. As a prior resident in the 90’s, it was uplifting to visit my hometown, Cleveland. Best people. Awesome food. Miss you and stuck in PHX

One of the 3 Cleveland signs in the area. Have to have your pic taken with the city in the background.

Edgewater park is pleasant and interesting. A good place for a stroll along the shores of Lake Eire. Summertime it is a good spot for a swim.

Awesome park for lots to do! Perfect for photo opportunities! One of the cleveland signs is in this park! Has a walking trail! The Great Lake Erie is here! This is 2/5 for us! Great views of the Cleveland skyline!

Great park to walk, picnic or just take in the awesome views of Lake Erie and downtown Cleveland! Note, there are stairs to reach the shoreline.

We took the kids here to picnic, hike and swim. We all had a lot of fun. There were plenty of picnic tables right near the water and under a covered area as well. There's a nice concession stand, the highlight of which is a Honey Hut. They have the best ice cream in the area and we were pleasantly suprised to find one here (we usually go to Huntington Beach which used to have a Honey Hut but now has a Mithchell's; it's still good but it's way more expensive). My kids did not enjoy the hike. There was an extremely small playground and lots of bathrooms (but not particularly clean ones). We went up to the pier briefly where there were a lot of friendly people fishing. The best part of the hike was finding a little pathway near the pier that wound through some wild raspberry bushes and led out to a rocky outcropping where the waves were crashing. They loved that part and if they hadn't incessantly been begging us to go swimming we would definitely have stayed there longer. The swimming beach was much nicer than I thought it would be. It wasn't as clean as Huntington but it was cleaner than Headlands. Probably on par with Lakeview. But, the swimming area was the best part. It's extremely shallow, which was perfect for my little ones and this was the only Lake Erie beach we've been to where we all took off our water shoes because the sand under the water felt so soft. The water was very clear as well. I was not concerned about the kids's health at all. Incidently, both Huntington and Edgewater are part of a system where you can check online to see if the water's safe bacteria wise: ohionowcast.info.

This is such a lovely place to visit, Very clean and the views are amazing. I even got a photo with the Cleveland sign with the city in the background. Parking here is free and there are toilets and benches to sit down on and some lovely routes for walks. A must for all tourist even if to get a photo in front of the Cleveland sign.

Cool place to come and relax away from city. For off, it's free! There's lots of parking. Lots of picnic areas (covered in case of rain.) I parked near a cool overlook that has a great view of the city skyline. On the hill there's a large "Cleveland" sign that makes for a great photo with the city in background. It lights up at night for even cooler photos. They have a regular beach and a separate dog beach. Some nice walking trails. Vendors for food. And then to me the best part: the fishing pier. It's not huge but plenty of space for people. And this has to be the best spot to sit and chill out and watch the sunset over the Lake. It really can't be beat.

the beach is clean, with lots of activity. Edgewater live has been going on every Thursday during the summer. The bands that I have seen there have not been very good but the atmosphere and the food trucks make up for it. My friends and I really enjoy the beach.

If you met someone from Cleveland say, 15 years ago even and asked about Edgewater, they'd probably tell you to stay away. For a sad while, it had a reputation for being unkempt and a place for hookups after dark if you lived on the wild side.

Enter Cleveland Metroparks who literally saved Edgewater. Now it is full of life - good, positive, happy life! On those days when we receive a reprieve from Cleveland winter and it's 65 in early March? Edgewater. In the summer at any time of day but particularly on Thursday nights when there are live bands and food trucks? You bet it's Edgewater. Sitting on the pier listening to an Indians game while the old men fish? Sign me up. In the waning days of summer when it's still gorgeous and the color of the trees is topped only by the depth of the blue sky over Lake Erie? Edgewater.

From late spring until it gets prohibitively cold, there are activities aplenty for people of all ages including a kite festival (august), 5Ks, cycling events, and more. You can always get information on events via the Cleveland Metroparks website.

The star of the show at Edgewater since 2017 has been the new beach house. It is two stories: The bottom has a snack bar with way more than just great local ice cream, and is set on a wide concrete patio that goes down to the sand. Alongside it, there is a giant swing to share and plenty of picnic tables. The upper level has a cocktail bar and plenty of shaded seating or many people just hang out along the balcony rail to take in the scene below.

There are in-ground grills at Edgewater, but not many - they are not over by the beach part but more by the pier in the wide, grassy area. You can bring your own grill too.

Edgewater also has a "2nd Part" known as Upper Edgewater. It is as such, up on a hillside away from the beach. It's more of a grass park, with grills and a large, large picnic shelter for group use. There is a paved path between the two sections if you're up for a good walk or bike ride.

TIPS FROM A LOCAL:

1.) DO NOT HAVE OPEN ALCOHOL CONTAINERS. Edgewater has State Park rules. Alcohol is ONLY permitted in a very small area by the beach house. We were there one day this year and saw people in the grassy areas getting busted left and right for having beers, wine etc. Don't let something that simple ruin a great trip.

2. There is a "dog beach" aways down from the human beach. Most times if you have a dog on the human beach, you'll get asked to go to the dog beach. Please go to the dog beach.

3) Lifeguards are only on duty from like 10am-7pm and I don't even think they go until Labor Day. Be aware of that before you go. Also check Lake Erie water conditions. (NEORSD.org) Personally, I don't swim for a few days after it's rained heavily. There are signs at the beach entrance that say OK to swim or if there are pollutants etc., but it's better to check before you go, especially if you have children or people with health issues.

Went here for a chance to see Lake Erie. It was easily accessible, free parking, and a neat area. Lots of locals fishing and enjoying the park. The pier was nice and we watched people catching fish. There's a nice paved walkway along the rocks. Fun little excursion in Cleveland.

I've been to this park several times over the past couple of years, even in the dead of winter! It's nice to walk among the big rocks or next to the water on the beach. I was most recently here for Live at Edgewater where there are lots of beach activities and a line of food trucks. It was super crowded with people of all ages and races. The park is the best when it's less crowded and you can get good pictures of wildlife aka birds and dead fish that have washed ashore. This place is good to fly a kite, walk your dog, a romantic date or a family picnic!

We are visiting Cleveland from out of town. This is a great park to walk and run by Lake Erie. We walked from here to the Gordon Art District in 15 minutes and then walked to Westside Market in 30 minutes.

Ok we haven’t been there in many years but what a change. Beautiful views of downtown and Lake Erie.
Plenty of paved paths for hiking. The central pavilion has afire place and bar in warm weather.

We came here at the recommendation by front desk of our hotel when we asked where we can go to see Lake Erie. There is ample parking and a photo opp by the "Cleveland" sign is cool with the city skyline behind you. There was a small beach area below that we didn't get to but it seemed nice. We walked a bit on the walkway... it's a nice park.

Nice public space with ample parking. New pavilion with food options and nice outdoor space for eating. Pretty good beach for swimming, and cool pier for views (although a bit windy out there)

I had never visited before and had safety concerns in the past. No worries, this is a very nice area. No admission fees or parking fees. We went to the beach, which is very large. There is a nice pavilion which has a bar and fireplace in the second level. There are plenty of picnic tables in the beach area also.
There is also an upper level to the park which has the famous Cleveland sign with a tremendous view of downtown. We also enjoyed the parasailors taking off from this area.

This place is so beautiful... Very clean and well kept. On a nice day this place can get absolutely packed on the beach. It is great place to spend the day with family and friends.

We came for for a walk and to enjoy a view of Lake Erie. As we walked we enjoyed the view of the wildlife that inhabit the park. On our walk we saw several ducks and marmots. The view of the lighthouse and Cleveland skyline is very nice from here.

I feel safe here as a single woman. I like the view of the city here. I love what Metroparks is doing here. I love all the new activity and people this place attracts now. Kudos to the activities director. Bring free wifi please, so I can do more paperwork in the park!

Regardless of the season, the views of Lake Erie and downtown Cleveland are not to be missed. Neither rain nor snow can mar this view!

So glad the Metro Parks took over this property!
Beautiful job updating the park. Has a bar, food and different events!

When we visited the park was well maintained and clean. While it lacks white powdery sand beach like Miami Beach for being on the Lake Erie shoreline it was ok. While walking the trails we saw many blue jays, robins and other birds. A nice reprieve a short distance from the city center.

It is so beautiful here with the beach and the pier, love it so much and also you can get ice cream from honey hut

The park is easily accessible and there is plenty of parking. There is wide open green space for family picnics and cookouts. There is also a small beach, but the beach is more mud than sand.

Kudos to Cleveland Metro Parks for creating a family friendly park and a beautiful beach house with many amenities and making it affordable for families to enjoy!!

first of all, I'm amazed about Lake Erie. Edgewater Park is beautiful and clean and it seems like the people that are always there are always respectful of each others diversities. I've seen, and taken, a lot of beautiful pictures from this beautiful location, that's only minutes from downtown

This Park ,as always been an attraction for locals but with the good media impression many people from all around Cleveland and surrounding communities are venturing here to enjoy the beach, bike and jogging trails, boating, and especially HONEYHUT ICE CREAM mmmmm...you can walk on the dock to look at amazing sunsets, listen to the lake as it splashes against the rocks, you can fish catching some tasty lake erie perch or walleye mmmmm...also meet new friends you may come alone but you wont leave not making a new friend or 2 and its minutes almost seconds away from Downtown Cleveland...So come on down bring your bike or just take your shoes off and walk in the sand...I come all the time I'll be waiting to meet you

Come check out the sunset, very relaxing and lots of fun activities in the summer. Very well kept by Cleveland Metro Parks.

We visited in late October, so didn't get to experience the park in nice, warm weather. Even so, we were very impressed with the beach area, the walking trails, and the really cool overlook/photo up with the "Cleveland" sign. A really nice park, and a must-see if you visit Cleveland.

Saw this on a TripAdvisor list of things to do in Cleveland, so my husband and I decided to stop here on our way to brunch. I was upset we didn't bring our swimming gear! They have a beach and walking paths, with nice lake views. Theres also a small pier with benches. Although not open when we were there, there's what seemed to be concession stands and an area to buy alcoholic beverages. We spent almost two hours here just hanging out. The weather was beautiful and the park is well kept and clean. Dogs are allowed. Next time we are in town we'll be bringing our beach gear to enjoy a day here!

Edgewater is a great place to walk, read, eat, sit, relax, you name it. The area off of West Boulevard in particular, has some of the best views of downtown. Definitely worth a stop if you have time.

Recently the beach has been upgraded for the centinnial celebrations of Cleveland Metroparks. They remodeled the shelters. They have a bit cleaner rest rooms now. Even the beach looked clean and neat. There is a park adjoining the beach. So make sure to carry badminton rackets, frisbee and other beach sports if you happen to visit. The edgewater fishing pier is very near to the beach.

There are beach volleyball courts here. There is a restaurant in the beach as well as the park (Near the pier). If you have enough accessories for activities, you can spend at-least a couple of hours here.

We are new to the area and I wanted to take my kids to the beach. Huge area to set up chairs and beach gear. Lifeguards on site, sand volleyball and other games available. We brought sand toys and my kids spent a few hours digging and playing in the water. Concessions and beach club area to rinse off and change. All for free, we will be back!

We went here on a warmer afternoon in early October. The beach wasn't too crowded. We walked the trail around the park. It seemed clean, and everyone was very nice.

We also found that they have a dog beach. It is not marked well at all. You can't really find it from the parking lot, unless you're looking for it. It's on the west side of the beach. There is a sign pointing that direction, if you go all the way around the beach, but it doesn't have its own sign. You just have to figure it out by the dogs. :) We found all of the people and dogs to be nice. It was nice to have a place where the dog could swim.

Had a family visit with our grand-daughter. It's wonderful to have a great beach right in our own back yard.

Went today to specifically see the Cleveland sign and surprise it wasn't there. Nice view of the lake.

always came here as a young man,dirty,unsafe,poor restrooms and rowdy people...now the metro parks cleaned the beach area up alot...safe now and clean..i can enjoy again.

This is a nice park. We went there and there is so much beach to walk in. It was very comfortable and peaceful. It was nice to get into Lake Erie and get our feet wet. The park is really close to downtown Cleveland. It was worth the visit.

Not a lot of changes since moving out of Cleveland 10 years ago! Roads are nightmarish getting here, via freeway or downtown! Ode to the Republican convention- ugh.

Shoreway not updated yet. Edgewater has a roundabout, to circle the marina, Wendy Park, shoreline, bike and picnic goers.

Things are in transition. I was told that Metroparks police are doing well keeping the former pervs, druggies, and weirdos out. Idk. I didn't check the cliff lot that was so seedy when I grew up here.

Concessions were closed. Old concrete pier pylons still there, next to the replacement pier. Long zigzag ramp for access to it.

Concrete breakwall lacks safety features...be sober and use common sense.

Fishing is popular. Sheepshead, carp, Walleye, yellow perch, even stray steelhead. Check local fishing reports.

Since the Metroparks took over this park it has been completely improved. Nice bath house, place to eat, clean and safe.

Since taking over Edgewater, the Metroparks have done an awesome job. The new pavilion is amazing, swings on the side, raft rentals. Beach is very clean and I think is cleaned nearly everyday. Recently attended an informal business meeting on the upstairs section of the pavilion, lots of seating, very nice space.

Edgewater park is a very nice beach for sunbathing, swimming It is free and has a giant parking lot. In the spring you can see people flying kites, jogging, skating and walking their dogs. There are 2 places to grab a bite to eat. In the summer, they have free concerts bring a chair and have a great time.

Edgewater has improved since the Metroparks took over. It's still a bit disheartening to see some the the refuse people leave behind, but it is getting better.

This park had everything! A swimming beach, bike and walking trails, a pavilion with live music, concession stand, and beautiful Lake Erie views. If you are looking for somewhere to enjoy the lake, this is a great choice. Parking was free.

I was here for USAT Age Group National Championships and the park for hosting the race was clean, easy to get to and leave. The view of the city from the park was amazing.

Compare the reviews from pre-2012 and you'll see a place that you might not want to visit at all. Since Cleveland Metroparks took over operation, this area has become clean, safe, orderly and a fun place to visit. Come watch the kite flyers and retriever dogs doing their tricks. There are fishing opportunities at the great pier and other places along the park, and the beach is now a clean, sandy delight. Well worth the visit.

Was a windy day, we saw people flying kites and others on the beach. Too cold to get in the water. We didn't get out, since it was so cold. Good for families with kids, if your ready for sand.

This is a beautiful park to visit. We were there in the afternoon and it was clean and I felt safe there. We got pictures of the Cleveland script. The lake is breathtaking! We actually saw a girl walking a fox on a leash! There is a path to the beach by the shelter. You can walk the trail to get to the shelter or drive and park in the lot at the shelter. The shelter has a lot of birds flying around and lots of bird poop. I'm not sure I would eat there, but it does have a restroom.

I went here on my last night in Cleveland and it was lovely. It was beautiful and I really enjoyed going to watch the sunset!
It was very breezy but that is to be expected at a lake.

My husband and I love to go to Edgewater park for walks through the park and for picnics. We often take our dogs as there is a dedicated dog beach section for them to walk on. It is very busy on nice weekend days but often we are the only people on the dog beach during the weekdays. The beach area is nice to sit on but I wouldn't swim in the water but a lot of people do.The paved trail in the park is lined with grassy areas to have a picnic and offers great views of the city and the beach below. There are a lot of charcoal grills and picnic tables as well as covered shelter areas that can be reserved. Great green space to go to and spend an afternoon!

Cleveland is a depressing, run down, dead city and this park is symbolic of the city. The parking lot take sup more space than the green area. There is a single, short pathway for walking and that too not by the water (that is kept for the parking lot!). There is really nothing here, not even views.

This place is meaningful because my baptizing ceremony was here.
It was a really cold and rainy day, but it was nice. There were a lot of people there and the views were great!
Im really happy that this was the place we had it. And the beach was nice and clean.

We was in town for eclipse boat tour and saw it from boat so wanted to stop. The area is nice, the beach and water was OK. Lots of stuff washed up on beach. Lots if family's out so much be OK.

The last time I was here, it was a dangerous place, so we were very pleasantly surprised to find it reasonably clean, with all sorts of fun activities.

But one word of caution- there were plenty of ticks everywhere.

Very Relaxing to just sit and watch the water and the parasailers. Great spot for photos of town and the "Cleveland " sign. Nice walking trails.

The beach is clean, but crowded. We waited 45 minutes at the concession stand on a Saturday. Restrooms were well maintained. This is close to downtown Cleveland and free.

My husband and I stopped here during a day trip to Cleveland. We were pleasantly surprised by how nice the beach was, and the scenic views along the walkways and pier. We only stopped in briefly to cross one of the Great Lakes off our list, but as we left we wished we had more time to spend there!

Made a quick pit stop to checkout edge water park. Had not been there in 15+ years.

The area is clean and the beaches were well maintained. The best part were the views of downtown Cleveland.

The worst part was the traffic from the construction. What a mess!

We recently visited the Cleveland area for the first time with our small dog and wanted some "beach time". What a lovely area!!! Clean beach and bathrooms, a nice little outdoor cafe/concession stand... VERY family/pet friendl... Free parking, lifeguards and very friendly Police Officers who answered questions about the Park and made us feel secure at all times. Hope to return in the future!!!

Edgewater Park one of Clevelands many parks. Awesome view of the city. Great for running or a nice walk.

Stopped here for pictures of the Cleveland sign with the city Skyline. This was awesome. Park also has a nice big clean beach....lots of running and biking trails. Bathrooms and concessions were available to us also.

Excellent stop that provided some great pictures!

Edgewater Park has changed so much over the years. What was once a dirty beach with used drug needles and gross water is now a hot spot. Once they metro parks took over the area, it has transformed into a beautiful lake front park. Plenty of grass area for throwing a Frisbee and having a picnic with friends. The beach area is clean and refreshing. This year they built a new pavilion for food and rest room facilities. Edgewater Live is a weekly event that is packed with live music. A must stop for Clevelanders.

As a Cleveland native that left Ohio some years ago, I have to say I was pleasantly surprised to see the positive changes at Edgewater! They have done an excellent job cleaning up this place and making it family friendly. Beautiful white sand, concession stands and a great landscape will make you question if your at Lake Erie or some well known ocean front beach.

Get away from the hustle of the city and relax in this park - walk around the trails and see Lake Erie and beautiful views of the city. I was there late afternoon - several others were runners, groups of children playing - even some parasailers were jumping off the grassy hill into the breeze of the shore, but it was very peaceful and lovely.

Really nice park great spot to get sunset photo over the lake would highly recommend when in the area fairly busy place specially at sunset.

There wasn't a ton to "do" at this park necessarily, but my boyfriend and I had an excellent time none the less. We actually visited twice on our very short trip to Cleveland. The first was just to see a Great Lake. The second was to walk around, take more photos and spend some time picking up sea glass. There are some great views to be had if you like city skylines (which I do!)

there is a beach area for swimming and very nice pavilions for picnics. Good for families. Summer fun for all!

We regularly spend time at the park beach. During the summer they now have a great community event on Thursday nights. Its free and the food trucks are there with a beer garden. We see all socio-economic groups and ages every week. They have yoga, beach volleyball, frisbee, hacky sack, corn hole and live music. I surf here a few days out of the year. They do a great job of cleaning and grooming the beach. Kudos to Cleveland Metro Parks!

There was a sort of festival for the summer solstice on a Thursday night to watch the sun go down. It was mega-crowded. On any other day this would be a great place to watch the sunset.

I visited Edgewater park on a cold blustery day in the middle of February. My spirits were warmed by sweeping views of the Cleveland skyline despite the cold wind coming off the lake. I would highly recommend taking the well maintained path as far as it goes. There is a beach area here as well as wide expanses of grassy lawns.

I have been here in the middle of the winter and walked out onto the ice, and I have been here in the summer as well. This time, it was an unseasonably warm Sunday in October. People were swimming, sunning on the beach, picnicking, flying kites, and even parasailing. The views of downtown and Lake Erie are beautiful.
My favorite thing is that it is a real mix of people. Different ages and backgrounds. We heard several languages and everyone was getting along.
Definitely recommend this no matter the weather.

Beautiful Views of the blue waters of Lake Erie as backdrop to the Cleveland skyline & Browns Stadium. Miles of beach & greenspace with trails & fishing dock, pavilion with a fully stocked bar, snack bar, surfing, boating or just relaxing with a drink.

Edgewater is a very nice and clean place to take the family for some outdoor fun, you can fish off the pier, they have a walking trial around the park, nice grassy area to play catch, fly a kite ect. you can cook outdoors they have grills all around the park. You can go down to the beach and hang out. They also have a bait store and Ice -cream parlors around the park where you can purchase food as well. And you can rent water skiis.

Since my last visit several years ago, I was delighted to see the improvements that have been made and how clean it was.

As a lifelong Cleveland resident I am pleasantly surprised by the transformation. This is a beautiful, clean beach. We visited on a weekday just to see the beach, the new beach house and walk in the sand. We will definitely return.

Offered lifeguards on duty. It was a clean refreshing beach. It wasn’t very crowded when we went on a weekday. They offered a concessions stand and on certain nights entertainment such as movies on the beach. We weren’t there for that we only saw the set up going on.

I once crewed on a sailboat out of Edgewater YC, for about 5 years. Lot of fun. Awesome place to fly a kite, walk the paths, picnic. You should go.

I went with my 8 year old son on a day when the water was given a 'green flag' as he loves to swim. Half of the beach has lifeguards on duty and the other half doesn't. There were boats and jet skis which created small waves and an unexpected breeze from the lake which kept us cool. We finished the day with a Honey Hut ice cream from the recently updated pavilion. Overall a lovely day. Couples, teens, families and dogs all enjoying the water and the beach!

Beautiful and clean. Great place for a picnic, swimming or just a walk in the park. Cleveland is doing an awesome job to make their city a great place to visit with family of all ages

My boyfriend stopped there on our way back from a getaway. It was so fun and relaxing. People picnicking on the park, drum circles, and other singing made it that much more enjoyable. It's such a wonderful park. You can relax on the pier, sit on the rocks, lounge on the beach and swim.

Nice place to visit - beautiful scenic views of the city and lighthouses. They were getting ready for sailboat races and a 5k walk so there was a lot of action going on.

One really hot day we decided to head to the Lake and swim.
The great grandkids had a blast it is a beautiful Park well maintained and well guarded. Great parking and great concessions (Honey Hut ice cream is now my favorite)
Considerable walking but the terrain is level.
Kids amused themselves for hours and loved the playground

Edgewater Park was beautiful after an early evening shower. The perfect walk after dinner at Don’s lighthouse Cafe

Super nice to go in the summer when they have live music and food trucks. Also nice to go and do SUP.

love going here to picnic, walk around, and just hang out. ive also gone to watch the sunset. its a great park and such a gem in the CLE. has a nice view of downtown as well!

Spent a lot of time here after work just chilling out with the fishing rods, clean, Quiet and plenty wildlife.

This was my first time to Edgewater Park. I guess the beach house was new this summer. It is really nice! There is a concession stand and bathrooms, and i believe a bar on the top level (but i didn't go up there). The beach was alive with people. There is beach volleyball and a nice walkway from the beach to the pier. People were climbing on the huge rocks/boulders lining the shore. Plenty of parking.

Today, there was a strong warm wind. Plenty of views and things to do. Nice walk along the waterfront.

Stopped here in early December so our outdoor options were limited. A beautiful park with a nice pier consisting of benches and lampposts. My brother lives in Lakewood and I'm glad he has the opportunity to experience a pier and watch sunrises and sunsets just minutes from home.

There is a bike trail within the park that looks to travel outside the park, and a grassy area to the left of the beach with a playground, and of course, the beach, which looked clean and inviting, except for the icicles hanging off the pier. Haha..

Update: Great Park in June 2019. Lifeguard on duty. Quiet. Great asset to the town of the Wood amongst the Lake.

Since the Metroparks has assumed control, it is like night and day. What a difference for fun, families and all around lakefront enjoyment.

This is a wonderful place to visit, we have been here pretty much every month. There are always things going on. The Forth of July had wonderful fireworks, with barbecues, picnics, games, volleyball. There is a mix of many different nationalities. Never seen anything out of order or any kind of trouble,. Bicyclers, strollers. You can even take a walkway down to the water. Very nice

This is amazing and getting better all the time. Great view of Cleveland. Free to park. Check the calendar for food trucks and bands during summer months. Sandy beach.

Spent a couple of hours walking the trails, beach area, and park. Really nice views from everywhere of the city skyline and the lake. Lots of great spots to take pictures including the Cleveland sign. Very walkable, lots of dogs and seemed like a great place to take the kids to run off some energy or have a picnic. Easily accessible from downtown.

A great place to chill, run and enjoy the lake. Boat rides are available on lake Erie. It's a nice peaceful place to enjoy

One of the most scenic places in CLE. I didn't get a chance to visit it more often, but I love coming here whenever I'm in downtown. A must visit place especially in the summer.

Great place to watch sunsets! The improvements they have made to Edgewater Park in the past several years are fantastic also.

Surprise the water is CLEAR!! You can see your toes! Did you say Ice Cream! Yes nice snacks! Walk around & just play.

Edgewater beach and the overlook above it with the Cleveland sign were definite highlights of our trip! Worth a visit. The place was crazy busy on Saturday during the day but evenings are more accessible.

Easy, chill spot to go hang out in Cleveland. it is a ways north, but if you want to relax for a bit and they take a swing on a huge chair swing, this is the place to do it.

This was a cute little beach in the park. Peaceful and popular. My boyfriend and I enjoyed stopping in here to relax and go for a walk and just enjoy the water

Sand was good for building sand castles. There was plenty of free parking and the building with restrooms and a snack bar was very nice and clean.

This park has come a long way with events and visitor numbers over the past few years, there's so much to do!

Decided to go to Edgewater Beach as I've never seen Lake Erie and wanted to stick a toe in the water. It was difficult figuring out how to get there as Google maps was not giving me an accurate place to turn. Then got stopped at numerous red lights and the one way streets were making me crazy.

First got to the westernmost part of the beach area on Upper Edgewater Drive (which the map says is Lower West parking) and took some photos. It was a nice overlook, but as far as I could tell there was no access to the beach to the west there. I only saw a road going east that said it was going to a dog beach. No thanks. Dogs ruin everything.

Got back in the car and drove further east. Found the Cleveland sign and took more pics but wasn’t comfortable doing much else in that spot because it looked like a drug dealer was hanging out there.

Drove to the end of the road and it only took me to that stupid dog beach. Thankfully no dogs. It was a rainy day. However, the path to the beach was down a steep hill with steps and it was still hot and incredibly muggy. Funny how the nasty dog beach is right next to a smelly sewer. Other than that, once you get past the sewer it was a nice beach. Never figured out how to drive to the eastern side of the park.

This is a state park on the shore of lake Erie. Here you can catch nice views of Cleveland skyline, ships sailing on the lake, and people just genreally having a fun day. A couple things that are negative - too many dogs off the leash, algea in the water.

It was a great time, parking was free, as was the complimentary life vests given to my small children to use. The water was mostly clean, however the side of the beach closest to the parking lot is covered in mulch as you reach the water. As the waves came in it made for a messy swim at times.

Charming part of town with spectacular views of the skyline, and large houses. I walked to the shoreline of the lake for a different perspective.

Edgewater Park is located West of Downtown Cleveland. There are many things to do such as fishing off the pier, swimming at the beach, flying kites, throwing Frisbees. Every Thursday evening during the summer there is a party in the park at Edgewater where music and food trucks arrive to satisfy your taste. Fun Times!!

Everything awesome since the MetroParks took over. Great redo of the dock facilities at E. 55th Street Pier.

Talk about reviving the Park in Cleveland's beach area (Lake Erie)..not even close to what it used to be. Clean, beautiful and plenty of views. A lot of families and couples were there enjoying the day Don't forget to bring a camera!

Ample parking at this beach right in the city. You can see the cityscape from this beach. There is also ample tables with umbrellas for shade. We were there on a weekday.

Cleveland's version of a beach. Ok place to chill, enjoy the water and the facilities. Sun, Sand (?) and the lake

We went mid March, on a day when the ‘feels like’ temperature was only 11, so it was pretty cold for us. But it was still very beautiful to walk along the frozen trail and see some of nature’s ice sculptures. Ample free parking.

We visited Edgewater Park the second week of March. It was still a bit cold, however the sun was shining and thanks to it, we could walk without a winter coat. Lake Erie was starting to melt and we could see Cleveland from a distance. All was peaceful and we certainly enjoyed walking on the sand. Spring was showing its colors. Hurrah!

Great place to soak up the sun, swim and even fly a kite. Brand new beach house with snack bar. Take a photo from the script Cleveland sign with the city skyline behind you. Awesome sunsets. Walking path, cool Thursday concerts on the beach after work. Lots of space to roam.

I have been to Edgewater Park many times and I really like this place. It is clean and well maintained. You can walk there or swim in the lake. The facilities are ok, there are some places where you can buy ice-cream or something small to eat.

Great park to spend the day with the family. HUGE lawn area for activities, picnic areas, grills as well as the new Boat House with food, ice cream and adult beverages. over the last few years this park has had a major turn around and major clean up. There is a nice pier to fish from or shore fish and near by public boat ramp and a marina.

Went looking for the Cleveland sign they recently put up to get a quick picture. Great view across the lake at the city skyline. Wish I could have went at night to see it all lit up!

Very nice park to enjoy sometimes with a great view towards the lake , nice bridge over the lake to enjoy view and watch some people fishing, really it is great park

I’ve lived in Cleveland all my life and have only been to Edgewater once or twice until this summer. I was amazed at how clean and how beautiful the park was. I’ve been back several times over this summer and will continue to go back. This is by far my new favorite Metroparks.

We drove over here to take a look at the Lake. It was a very hot day. There's a yacht club there with live music that we could hear. There's a small snack shack and a pier. The view was very nice. Park is clean and free!

Since the Cleveland Metroparks took this over a year or so ago, it is a great place to be outdoors. We parked in one of the lots where the Beach is located and headed out on Bicycles. You can ride along the lake in some spots but mostly up on the hillside above which actually offers some hill challenges,but offers great views of the lake and the Cleveland skyline. You can ride to the east and go over to Whiskey Island/Wendy Park.Or go the west and ride in the the Edgewater Park neighborhood where big old houses are in a beautiful treed settings along the lake and up and down the side streets. This is a exclusive area and is under watch by the people that live there, just take in the beauty and the great ride you will have and you will be fine.

We stopped for a few hours. Very clean beautiful park and beach. Not too crowded, there was ample places to relax out of the sun. We saw many different people. Families, young adults, older groups. Everyone seemed to be having a great time.

Edgewater Park, with its crescent-shaped sandy beach just a mile or two from downtown Cleveland, has always been one of my favorite places. I live nearby and go there, usually to run on the oval paved multi-purpose trail, several times a week. The upper park has postcard views of the downtown skyline. The beach, rocks & fishing pier on the lower level are great places to gaze out over a peaceful blue-green Lake Erie, or to feel the power of huge waves crashing onto the shore.

So I've always been a fan of this park. Recently (2014), though, the county Metroparks system took over management from the State of Ohio, and there's even more reason to be happy. Litter and trash, fairly common before, are nearly non-existent. The beach sand is groomed daily rather than weekly. You can rent little cabanas on the beach and make believe you are in the tropics. More practically, you can rent or borrow (not sure) a fat-tired beach wheelchair and easily enjoy the beach with someone who's mobility impaired.

Weekly summer music on the beach, with food trucks, communal yoga, and paddleboard lessons are new this year, and I've heard rumors of new & improved food, restroom and changing facilities in the works.

One thing that hasn't changed is that you see a cross-section of Cleveland here, in the best possible way: good ol' boys covered with tattoos meet hipsters covered with tattoos. Little kids pulling kites bumping along the grass share space with guys who took their two-cabled acrobatic kite out of the trunk of a BMW. On Sunday afternoons you can enjoy—and join in, if you like—a drum circle on the shore. You hear Spanish, Arabic, and Polish spoken nearly as much as English. All of this diversity seems perfectly normal.

Long story short, great place to visit when you're in Cleveland, any time of the year.

Wide beaches with the downtown skyline rising up from the sand.
Historic statuary and picnic shelters, all people's trails, bike ways and fishing piers. A true urban gem.

At this park, we found the Cleveland script with a view of the skyline behind it which made for a superb shot. This is a lovely green space by the lake with a little jetty as well. It is a delightful green space in the middle of the city.

Stopped by Edgewater Park to check out the views of Lake Erie, as I had never been. Did not stay for very long unfortunately, as we were only in the area for family business. We stayed long enough to walk from the beach to the pier, and it was peaceful, calming, and such an amazing view all around. The sand was so clean and soft I could have stayed on the beach area all day. We went on a 90 degree day full of sunshine so there were several people swimming, boating, parasailing, jet skiing etc. Hope to go back someday and actually be able to stay and enjoy it.

The Edgewater park is a nice recreational area just a few minutes drive west of downtown Cleveland.
At the time of our visit there was plenty of parking (rainy and pretty cold April day). With very few visitors the park seemed quiet with great downtown panorama and Cleveland sign (there's also another one at the back of RnR Hall of Fame).
I suppose it's much more lively in good weather and summer.

is a great place to enjoy lake erie with a great view of downtown cle. lots of area to picnic, enjoy the beach and simply have a great time outdoors

You really can't beat upper Edgewater (further west than the beach) for views of the lake and city. With the Script Cleveland sign there now, it's too tempting to pass up. You may have to wait in line for your turn by the sign but, your Christmas card photo is just a few moments away.

One thing, when I was there yesterday, there was a woman complaining about people who were taking pictures in an area behind the sign thus "ruining" her picture. She told everyone in line how rude those people were. She never bothered to ask them when they'd be done or ask them to move. If you're going to be a passive-aggressive whiner, stay home.

Nice park with a beach in Cleveland. It's a lovely place to sit and have a picnic and watch sail boats. Many events are held here some worth seeing, some not. Judge for yourself. I've never used the beach so I can't review on that. I would definitely go again.

Much cleaner now that it's run by the metroparks.

We enjoyed strolling around this park. It was our first visit to Cleveland and to Lake Erie. There are plenty of picnic tables, a pier, beach, trails and grassy areas to play on. I could imagine visiting often if I lived here.

We had been here once before when we stumbled upon it on our GPS. We had longed to take our dog to the beach there. We had the opportunity to return and were severely let down when the beach was closed to swimmers. The lifeguard basically said every time it rains the water gets infested with E. Coli. I'm not making that up. Several residents confirmed it. When it rains, the lake is basically poison for a couple of days. All anyone could say was hey, sucks for you....bad timing.

What is that state dumping into the lake that it literally turns to poison? After our first trip we felt Cleveland was severely underrated. After our second trip we were shown why so many people speak horribly about the area. Perhaps we were just REALLY lucky the first time.

Edgewater park is pretty big! On the east side you have the pier and the beach and on the west side you have the iconic Cleveland script sign with the skyline in the background. Beautiful grounds with plenty of places to set up a picnic or just let the kids play. This is a great place to take the family to be near Lake Erie and get good views of the city. I will take visitors here who are new to Ohio.

Edgewater is back and better than ever since the Metroparks have taken over. Millions of dollars in renovations. The new beach house is wonderful. The Edgewater Live events are the absolve BEST! If your town on Thursday night in the summertime, I highly recommend attending!

Edgewater Park and Beach is located on Whiskey Island Drive near West 73rd Street, just west of Cleveland. Beautiful park along Lake Erie. Park includes a wonderful circular walk (about 3 miles), a Marina and Yacht Club, large family friendly beach with lifeguard, separate dog friendly beach, more than one playground and picnic areas , numerous picnic tables and benches throughout the Park. Not certain, but they may rent kayaks. The Park is well maintained and very clean and there is a large free parking lot near the beach and many free parking lots at various places around the Park. Thoroughly enjoyed a stroll around the Park. Will definitely revisit when again in Cleveland. Recommend.

Recent modifications have made the park more enjoyable for the locals and visitors. Breathe in the fresh air and enjoy Ohio's northern coastline.

This is a beautiful area with a sandy beach, picnic tables, grassy areas, and the iconic CLEVELAND sign. There is a lot of area to spread out if you just want to relax or picnic, plus there are tables under a pavilion that must have concessions in the summer. It is free to park as well. Enjoy a day at the lake..it's beautiful and relaxing!

My hubby and I decided to drive from our home to see a late summer sunset in August. We hadn't been there for several years. It was about one hour before sunset. Lots of families, some having a picnic, some playing volley ball. We were on the east side of park, the beach was on the other side. We sat on a table and just watched the sky, the lake and listened to the noises of people and fun! I took pictures every few minutes to show the changing sky and surroundings. SO PEACEFUL, BEAUTIFUL AND FUN! The new beach house looked great too! As Greater Clevelanders we tend to forget what we have in our own backyard. Take the time to go here and enjoy the beauty, for a family picnic, swimming or just relaxing.The park is much improved since being taken over by the Metro Parks. Clean!

In the 20 plus years we have watched this park regenerate and become a great family park. The Thursday Edgewater Live is a great idea that was applied well and is a wonderful place to spend an evening in the summer. We enjoy the food trucks and yoga on the beach while our teenagers play beach volleyball. The fishing pier is well done. I even surf the break a couple of days per year.

We stopped by this park during our trip to Cleveland, I wish we would have planned more time! We were there on a Sunday night, everyone was grilling and enjoying the outdoors. I was pleasantly surprised by the clean bathrooms!

Awesome park. Came here Memorial Day weekend on our visit to Cleveland to watch the Air Show. The park is huge with a small beach. Lots of parking space and lots of picnic tables with grills. Also a nice path along the park to have a nice stroll or go for a run. If you are a local or visiting Cleveland, highly recommend spending an hour or two here.

If you're here in Cleveland and want to get down to the lakefront, this is the place to go. There is new construction of a beachfront pavilion, snack bar, observation deck to be finished next month. On Thursday evenings, don't miss the free concerts there, along with food trucks and beer. Wednesday evenings, and Sunday mornings you can see the local sailboat races off shore too. All in all a great lakefront park and beach.

Edgewater Park seems to have gotten nicer and cleaner since the Cleveland Metroparks have taken over, though I always enjoyed a visit to Edgewater Park. In the summer there's Honey Hut Ice Cream available, and there are frequently people in a drum circle or a yoga class near the water. This is a well used park and I have always felt pretty safe there. It's too bad that the water quality is frequently low enough that swimming is not recommended, but this can still be the location of a lovely afternoon picnicking, sunbathing, and walking.

The changes and updates here are just amazing. The walking trail is a lot of fun and something different. It's clean and feels safer.

This is a great place to hang out on a nice day. I didn't go onto the beach or get in the water, but there's a ton of space to walk around and what appears to be a paved surface in the middle for biking or jogging. The pavillion is great - decent food choices, actually, and a bar upstairs - very nice! Great place to watch the sunset, and there's free parking too. You could make it a totally free day if you made it a picnic - I would be there a lot if I lived there.

My husband and I stopped by to watch the sunset. The park was busy with people grilling, exercising, reading, playing instruments, going for a stroll, or just looking out at the lake. At the same time, it was very peaceful. Birds were flying, waves were crashing against the rocks, and the sun was setting. I would go here very often if I lived in the area

This park was very big with lots of wide open spaces, walking trails, a pier, beaches, and a big playground for kids.

We enjoyed the park with our toddler. The park had a big kid area and a toddler area. There were lots of ropes to climb up, a bridge, musical aspects, slides, and balance beams. The park was mostly wooden and very cool and interactive for kids.

We were in search of the "Cleveland" sign that overlooks the lake and downtown Cleveland panorama. We parked in the lower parking lot (you can drive up to the top parking area). We walked on the beach and then headed up the hill to complete our walk to the sign. We took pics and everyone was courteous to offer to take our pic together.
The day was windy for August 21st! People were surfing at their own risk. The beach was closed due to rip currents. The waves were crazy big! The kite festival was spectacular. Who knew you can synchronize 5 kites to music? Amazing! What a great surprise to happen upon on our 39th anniversary!

This park has been taken over by the Cleveland Metro-park system. Frankly it used to be a dump, not clean or raked. Now the beach is maintained, cleaned, raked, and they have special events and many food trucks. If you have not been here lately, make time to go with the family - you will be glad you did!

Great boat launching. Metro Parks do an excellent job on keeping the park in outstanding shape. They have a beach on the other side of park, a concession stand & a long pier to sightsee or fish off of.

We love this park and all its amenities. The only disappointing aspect regarding this beautiful park (and the only thing that almost kept me from rating this "excellent"), is the assault of "popular" (i.e. very commercial) music blaring from loud speakers across the public beach. This music, although fortunately not heard from all points in the park, only diminishes the beauty of nature and the potential escape from day-to-day media.

This place is so fun, plenty of seating indoors and outdoors. The music is always current, it sits on beautiful Lake Erie, a great to meet friends for dancing and drinking

If you want to find a perfect view of of the setting over Lake Erie, I highly suggest checking out Edgewater Park! Edgewater also has an amazing view of downtown Cleveland! The newly renovated beach house offers a concession stand and an observation deck. Lastly, on Thursdays they offer live music!

We decided to drop by this park after visiting a new brewery in the area. I had not been to the park for several years and was aware that the Metroparks had taken over and made some improvements. I could not believe my eyes. The park was filled with people of all ages, genders and nationalities and the atmosphere was vibrant! A new, beautiful pavilion contained a restaurant, ice cream stand and a bar. Ramps connect the pavilion to one of the newer up and coming neighborhoods. Parking was plentiful, and rangers throughout gave the park a secure feeling. A great experience that I would recommend!

I recommend coming here to get a beautiful look of Lake Erie. There is a Cleveland sign that you can take pictures with and they hold food truck conventions here. It's basically a big party on the "beach." Its family friendly!

Was a very clean park. The people were friendly. The lake was very beautiful. Its nice because there are different hiking paths you can take to walk around the water. Its a very calming place and the water was very nice.

While in the area we wanted to visit the lake and check it out, so we came here. This is a nice park with a decent pier to walk out on. Great views of Lake Erie and the lighthouse nearby.
The park is large with many different areas and plenty of places for picnicking. The various park areas are connected via walking trails and roads, as well as offering plenty of parking.

Looks like a great place for a picnic during nice weather!

Very pretty views of the lake. They have done an awesome job cleaning/fixing this area up. It's not 100% completed, but Cleveland is almost done.

Standing on the lower bluff...watching and listening to the waves on the rocks. Looking at the city from that angle on a beautiful winter day!

My husband researched Lake Erie beaches in Ohio extensively before we left for our trip. He stumbled upon Edgewater LIVE! which is a weekly beach party presented by Cleveland Metroparks. It features live music, food trucks, games, yoga on the lake, etc. So we thought it would be a fun way to see a beach and enjoy a more urban area of Cleveland. We were not disappointed! I heard from some locals that this was the first year Cleveland Metroparks decided to do this at Edgewater. I think its a great tradition to begin. The beach itself is nice and the water was warmer there than other beaches we had visited. We liked the pier, the view and standing near the lake where the waves were pretty high. Overall, it was a great experience. Cleveland has a gem with Edgewater Park and the weekly summer beach parties!

Very nice views of the city skyline and the Lake Erie shoreline. Not much to do there but seems great for an afternoon picnic, walk with the dog or for a dip during the summer.

One of the iconic places to take a picture of downtown. A must for a tourist. You’ll find the locals love it just as much.

We went here for our family reunion. The grounds are well kept, and the beach area spread as far as you could see. There were shelter areas, tables, and reasonably clean restrooms. We really enjoyed our time here.

Beautiful park, beach, running paths. Lots of activity and plenty of room for everything! We happened upon this while looking for Whiskey Island. Beautiful place, I wish we spent more time there. A must visit..... Definitely want to return!

Walk, bike, run, lay on a blanket; it's all good at Edgewater. Much improvement in recent years has the park looking fresh.

Had a little time between meetings. While quiet that day, its close to downtown and a nice place for a walk.

Nice small area to get your picture taken in front of the skyline. Area with free parking too! Bring a selfie stick for easier photo ops!

We walked around this area on a recent visit to Cleveland. The park was clean and quiet. Edgewater Park consists of 240 acres that includes Edgewater Beach, Perkins Beach, the Marina and Yacht Club.

About:
The 147 acre Edgewater Park is the westernmost park in Cleveland Metroparks Lakefront Reservation. Edgewater Park features 9000 feet of shoreline, dog and swim beaches, boat ramps, fishing pier, picnic areas and grills and a rentable pavilion.

I always knew edgewater park as a place that was kind of grimey but I was pleasantly surprised. It was a clean beach and there is even an area to bring dogs. I had a great time relaxing and enjoying the amazing views of the Cleveland skyline.

Edgewater was very nice. We enjoyed the day with friends and our pets. I will return next summer to this gem…I love the ocean and this was just as beautiful to my surprise.

This park is right along the lake. The views are beautiful. It’s very clean and felt very safe. Lots of people enjoying the good weather. Really nice.

I understand this area had become run down. It looks like a great place now. Many families were picnicking, riding bikes, and enjoying the beach. Nice sand, beautiful views.

Great for families. Swimming, live music. New building has fireplaces and a bar. Very nice. Good to see all the Improvements here. This is a special place.

We were in search of the script Cleveland sign. Drove around the park, the beach looked great. We did not realize it was so large and well maintained. I plan on exploring the park better on my next visit.

I grew up in Cleveland but now live in South Carolina. I've watched this place go from mediocre to fantastic. The beaches are clean again, there are great walking trails, kids playground, good food, music, and GREAT views.

This is a great park with a nice beach. It is very well kept now that it belongs to the metro parks! Come on Thursday nights for Edgewater live (live music and food trucksnon the beach) or have a picnic at the beach or grass any other time. It's a great place.

My family enjoyed a Saturday picnic at the upper Edgewater park. The park is very pretty and looks over Lake Erie. Plenty of space to play games - we played bocce and Can Jam! Bathrooms are just OK. Nice walking trails as well!

This park has great space for grilling and recreation along with the added benefit of a nice beach. The water was nice and they have a better than average food place.

I visited this park in April, while visiting Cleveland for the first time. It is a very spacious park with some great views of Lake Erie, and the city of Cleveland. There are plenty of good photo opportunities here. I wouldn't spend a ton of time here but I do recommend checking this park out for the views!

This place has been completely redone and is looking very good since I left Cleveland in 1966. When I left Cleveland for the military it did not look like this.

If you live in Cleveland and haven't visited our Lake, do it soon!.
If you are visiting Cleveland, come on down for a cool, fun picnic, splash in the water, or just happy day at the beach.
Edgewater is maintained by the state, and it offers a very clean beach, concession, grills, picnicing, grassy fields, and a spectacular view of the entire Cleveland skyline. It
This is truly an emerald of Northeast Ohio.

My wife and I were in the Cleveland area and we were unsure what beach to try out for some fun. So glad we stopped here. This beach and park were fantastic! Really clean and nice. The new beach house they put in was nice for snacks and the walking trails were great. Would definitely recommend for family's. Way to go Cleveland!

We used to avoid visiting Edgewater but the Cleveland Metroparks has changed all that. They have done a remarkable job at transforming the beach.

It is now a pleasant and beautiful park to visit. They take great care of the beach and the sand is actually clean and safe to walk in barefoot.

The Edgewater Live events held every Thursday evening during the summer months are great fun. We went to one last August and had a blast. It was great looking over the wide beach filled with beachgoers and beach umbrellas and seeing the blue Lake Erie water.

If for a moment you made yourself forget you were in Cleveland, OH, you'd have no problem believing you were on a beach in Florida or South Carolina.

Finally, Clevelander's or those visiting the city don't have to go west to Huntington Beach or east to Mentor Headlands to enjoy a nice beach!

Kudos to the city of Cleveland. Walked the paths, sat in the shade, and watched the people of Cleveland enjoying a Sunday in the park. Drummers, fishermen, dancers, jugglers, hoolahoopers, swimmers, kayakers, and many families enjoying BYO grills and picnics. Many sights and sounds of beach, water, boats, and languages. Snack stands available for nachos, soda, and beer.

On a June afternoon, my husband, FIL, and I walked through Edgewater park while chatting away. The area was well-kept, lakeside, and even features some nifty bench swings (which I sadly didn't get to try out).

Very cute small beach. I wish there was a place like this to go where I live, I would be there everyday there was nice weather. I spent the day at the beach with my husband and son just relaxing and playing catch in the lake. The area is good for everyone to enjoy. The only strange part, was the "rest periods" which occurred about every hour, when everyone had to exit the water. There bathrooms and concessions available as well. The best part is the parking and beach are free.

And we sure have seen that the last two years at Edgewater Park! WOW, such a beautifying momentum happening at once state owned park, Natural habitats nurtured and growing, beautiful beaches groomed daily, life guards on duty, cabanas, foods, honey hut ice cream... what a day to spend at the beach!
Recently the park has made an effort on creating community with their Thursdays night gatherings that include yoga, live music, food trucks and more. This effort has been received by the community with open arms and has been quite successful. Hopefully we will see the park used for more in the future, like family movie nights, cultural events such as Pow wow's and other events. A great park and a must see if you are visiting the area and if you live here, you probably already know about it!

Really enjoyed our visit to Edgewater Park over the Labor Day weekend. It wasn’t too crowded, so getting one of those classic photos of the famous “Cleveland” script sign in front of Lake Erie with the Cleveland skyline as backdrop didn’t take long. Later we walked down to one of the beaches (the dog beach for Cherry Wonderdog), where just a few dogs wandered to and hither. We didn’t swim, but we did have a great time searching for (and finding) beach glass. There was ample sun protection from tall trees behind the beach for those choosing to indulge in a good novel. Our tranquil stay was embellished by a hang-glider who flew back and forth along the beach at low altitude. Very special!

This park is beautiful! I would love to come back sometime in the summer! There's pretty scenery, a nice breeze, cool rocky areas, trees... the dog beach is cool too!

Amazing park. Walking trails, a pier, beach access, plenty of parking. We loved this park we enjoyed spending the afternoon there. The lake views were gorgeous and we had a good time walking through the park

The park has changed hands several times. It was a city park, a state park, and now it's part of the Metroparks system. People go for picnics, swimming, kite flying, and other outdoor activities. There were some crime issues several years ago, and nearby neighborhoods aren't the upper crust of Cleveland, so use some common sense caution. Swimming is prohibited on days when Cleveland's antiquated municipal "plumbing" dumps raw sewage into the Lake after big storms.

We moved to NE Ohio from Long Island. I've been on a lot of beaches. At least this is a nice place to enjoy the sunshine and warm weather...

What a great point to take a sandwich or just go to watch the boats flying by. The park is well kept and has stationary grills if you choose to do a cookout.

So much to say about Edgewater Park as there is something always going on. The beach was just redone making it look and smell a whole lot better. No more trash or sitting on top of your neighbor when your kids are swimming. There are bathrooms, concession stand, grills, all-purpose trail, they even have an ADA beach wheelchair available (only for use when the lifeguard is on duty). If you check out the webpage you can get an event calendar as well as what is not permitted, directions, phones numbers, and hours.

Great place to dip your hand or toes in Lake Erie for a Great Lakes checklist. We walked down a pier for photos, strolled the concrete path for awhile, and watched families picnic in the expansive park area…all clean and safe and beautiful. Then, we drove around the curve to the west to see the Cleveland sign for totally unexpected city skyline views plus this other stellar surprise!

We took a quick drive out to see the skyline because I read that it was a nice view. While I wouldn't quite agree with that (it's pretty far away), this is a beautiful spot close to downtown.

It's definitely a drive away but it's a huge park with lots of green space and spots for activities. They have a pier to walk out on and see the skyline better, as well as public bathrooms and a cafe during the summer. We also thought it was neat how they had outdoor numbered exercise spots for a circuit to exercise on! Very neat.

I could see myself spending a nice day outside enjoying the park, nature and calm Lake Erie.

We enjoyed a quick visit to the park on our drive through Cleveland. It was nice to stretch our legs for a few minutes. The view of the skyline from the fishing pier was great. We also enjoyed getting our first look at Lake Erie. Plenty of free parking.

Lots of construction but easy to get to. Great view of Lake Erie, water access, dog friendly, and lots of picnic areas.

We love the views of downtown and along the coastline. Love the big mature trees. Also love to go out on the pier. The beach was clean and well maintained. They have lifeguards on duty! The only disappointing part was the state of the restrooms. There was a very strong smell of urine. Hopefully they can do a better job of keeping up on the restrooms in the future.

Just randomly came across while visiting Cleveland in the late afternoon around the evening time. It was awesome to see the sea-like Lake Erie's presence alongside the great city, Cleveland.

Everybody seemed to take photos in front of "CLEVELAND" carve/sign in the park so we did as well. In NYC, you get to see the mix of two rivers and bit of Atlantic Ocean to the east which carves up the landscape view greater alongside the city. In Cleveland, there's Lake Erie which can take a part to make this city's landscape better, I believe.

Edgewater Park has gone through an amazing transformation and now includes music on certain evenings, great date night activities, cleaner grounds and a great place to go walking.

Rented a UH bike and cycled out to the park, there was a nice vibe, most people were involved in some form of activity, there was also a big sponsored walk event on so it was very busy near the beach. Great Cleveland sign photo.
Worth a drive up Edgewater Drive just to see the beautiful houses.

very nice clean park. nice view of the city sky line. they also have a beach and a dog friendly part of the beach.

This park gave us the perfect view of the city with beach access. It was clean and had restroom facilities. It’s a great place to take a stroll, or just sit and read or relax.

just grabbed some food and went down to enjoy the view and had a great time , it was very pleasant weather wise and I thoroughly enjoyed it

We were trying to figure out the best place close to Cleveland to see Lake Erie and came across this park. It had beautiful views and nice places to walk around and enjoy the park. We went on a Saturday in September, and it wasn't crowded at all. The rocks and trees on the shoreline are pretty. It has a nice walking track for exercise. Some people were enjoying the beach and water and others were on the pier. We walked around and enjoyed the view for a little while. I highly recommend visiting this park!

Only 5 minutes west of Downtown - Walk out on the pier into Lake Erie - great view of downtown.....walk on the rocks....walking path....picnic area....sand volleyball courts on beach...fish off the pier or on the rocks....kids love playing in the sand...I walk around here...I don t swim here...

This was great. People from all over the area gather to enjoy the music, great food truck eats, and a breathtaking view.

We spent a couple of hours here - easy parking, nice sand, clean bathrooms and changing area. You can rent paddleboards and other items. Great for little kids. Nice park to walk and get a great view of Cleveland.

Great place to visit with friends and family. To plan a picnic. I enjoyed myself! Beautiful sunset... there's a lot of glass in the sand. And there's not a lot of supervision.

The city of Cleveland wisely turned over management of this beach and small park to the Cleveland Metro parks. I what seems like no time the Metro park system has improved road pedestrian and bike path access to this neglected gem. The beach is now kept clean and sports a café, and lifeguards. There are park rangers on duty and well lighted trails for joggers and bikers Who said there is no surf in Cleveland? And every Thursday a huge party is hosted with bands, food trucks and drinks.

Great park ! Visited on Memorial Day with my family! The beach was not busy, restrooms were clean and there was great spacing between families (on beach).

Water was warm (not too cold) - waves were great. Overall had a blast!

This is a very nice park. It has a beach and fishing pier. The view of the lake is very good from the pier. I wish we had more time there. Plenty of parking.

After a month at Cleveland Clinic hosptial my girls and I just needed some down time. The park was clean and as well has around the beach area. Will go there again

I'm so glad they decided to upgrade this area. It was well needed. The new double decker pavilion is awesome. A full bar upstairs, two fireplaces and couch/lounge areas. plenty of tables and room to roam. Going g to be a great place to enjoy the summer concerts. Right next to the beach if you want to get your feet wet. Easy drop off area to prevent long walks. Great family atmosphere. New bike/walk trail. Kudos to cleveland!

Really clean, family oriented park with many paths and places to sit. Lots of dogs with a dog friendly beach. Really impressed with this park!

We walked down from the brewery to the park and enjoyed the space. It’s a big park with a lot of room. You can walk right down to Lake Erie, get on the pier, or just hang out on the grass.

I went here 2x this summer for their concert series on Thursday nights, 6:30-8:30, its free and they sell beer and wine and a lot of food options. The regular concession stand for the beach is open and there are also 10-15 food trucks there. It is so nice. Bring a chair or blanket and that's it. There's plenty of food choices, drink choices and free water.
The city also has a restroom trailer brought in for the event each week, they are clean and there's usually no wait.

I recently walked through this entire park from one side to the other. It was very relaxing and the grounds were maintained very nicely. It was too cold to be swimming but walking past the beach tempted me to get my feet wet. When you walk up the bike path to higher ground the view of the park, lake and city are absolutely stunning. Great photo opportunities. Continuing past the park you come upon some beautiful well kept older homes. The different architecture styles are really something. It made me wonder how many different generations of occupants stood there and enjoyed the same view.

While it was very cold and windy during our visit, we were impressed by the beach and landscape. There were a couple of guys surfing.

for being right downtown, this park was very quiet. nice place to catch a sunset and there is a small public swimming area. lots of tables and grassy places to throw a blanket.
