Place

Edgewater park is located on the shoreline of the beautiful Lake Erie. With 147 acres of land Edgewater has so much to offer, it’s an amazing landscape with gorgeous trees, a beach, plenty of picnic benches to relax on and even a pier to take in the extraordinary sights of the lake. The park was purchased by the city of Cleveland in 1894 and then was leased to the Ohio Department of Natural Resources in 1978. Edgewater park is now associated with five other public spaces which together make up the Cleveland Lakefront State Park. The beautiful landscape in the photo below is only partially what Edgewater park has to offer. A true beauty.
