The Cleveland Metroparks has transformed the culture of Edgewater for a new generation. You can find after work and enjoy a walk through the trails, ride your bike from the Detroit or Gordon Square neighborhoods, enjoy the park at the top of the hill next to the pavilions or dock your boat at the marina, the possibilities are endless...heck you can even get married under the weeping willow!

I have to say I do love this park. Upper and lower…read more Upper has a full playground, covered pavilion picnic area, grills, Cleveland sign, restrooms, lots of grass and area to run and move. Lower has the beach, volleyball, concessions, bar on top, seats, restrooms, pier, lots of grass and grills but no pavilion. Parking for upper or lower is easy but both parking areas are separate. You cannot get to one through the other. You actually have to drive out of the park to other entrances to access each area. There is plenty of walking, running, biking, scooters, trails. And plenty of grass area in both to play soccer, baseball, football, frisbee, kites, almost anything. There is even a dog beach. Lots of things to do and to enjoy yourself outside. You cannot even bring a sandwich, chips and a drink or whatever and have a spontaneous picnic. The other fun thing to do is watch the air show from here. It's free and you see most of it. You even get buzzed by a plane or two. This is an enjoyable park. I wish it was closer to me. You cannot even bring even get a great pic of Cleveland and one of the Cleveland signs.

Euclid Creek Reservation is one of the smaller parks in the Metroparks system; it is a long…read morerelatively narrow park that mainly follows Euclid Creek between Green Road and Highland Road. The park manages to pack quite a bit into its smaller profile. For those trying to get out and get a hike there are 4 designated trails and a couple more that are not on the map but can still be fun. The longest trail is the Multipurpose trail, paved it winds its way down the park with great views of the creek and the surrounding walls of gorge it has carved. On the West Side of the park the Glenridge and Squirrel Run Trails let you hike up and down the gorge wall and you can use them to form a loop trail; a good way to get some decent vertical and a nice workout. On the East Side there is the newly built Eastern Ledge Trail which uses a recently built bridge to cross the creek and then a steep hill up to the cliff top which presents one of the best views in the Cleveland area. The trail then continues through the woods to the nearby neighborhood. There is an couple of other trails on the East Side of the creek, one that runs from the Rear Quarry picnic area to hook up with the Eastern Ledge Trail; the other unmarked trail starts at the Highland Picnic area and follows the creek until it gets to the cliff face. There are a number of very nice picnic areas along the park with plenty of space to relax, eat and play. There are also a number of other facilities. Near the Kelley picnic area there is a sledding hill for winter fun. Most of the picnic areas have a playground with the biggest one is located in the Highland Picnic Area and there is also outdoor workout stations and a couple of basketball courts which always seem to have some fairly serious games when the weather is good. Although they are physically separated from the main part of the park Metroparks have added the beaches and marina located where Euclid Creek meets Lake Erie into the Euclid Creek Reservation. I have not visited these areas in quite a while, but they do provide public access to Lake Erie for swimming, boating and beach fun. Euclid Creek Reservation is a great way for those located on the East Side to get out and enjoy themselves. The Metroparks keep working to improve the parks and there is plenty of fun to be had; choose an activity or two and get outside.

The "Euclid Creek Reservation" (Euclid Beach) is no exception. The park is expansive, beautifully manicured, clean and offers a multitude of ecosystems to explore. The beaches are wonderful and include matting to accommodate wheelchair access. There are two peers for sitting and enjoying the lake view or casting in a line and going fishing. There are picnic areas with grills and a pavilion as well as public restrooms. There is a bridge connecting it to Neff road boat launch as well as Wildwood Park. There really is something for everyone. The best thing is it is open to ALL the public and totally FREE! So go, take the family and spend the day. You'll love it.

BRIEF HISTORY from Wikipedia: "The Cleveland Mall is a long public park in downtown Cleveland and one of the most complete examples of City Beautiful design in the United States. The Mall was conceived as part of the 1903 Group Plan by Daniel Burnham, John Carrère, and Arnold Brunner as a vast public space flanked by the city's major civic and governmental buildings, all built in the neoclassical style." I've passed through here many times before but I had never previously sat down on the grass. So on Memorial Day, Monday (25 May 2020), when I had the day off work, I came to lay on the grass and read a book. It was a beautiful day out but very hot. I tried using my light jacket to cover over my head but I was still very hot. I could only manage 20 mins or so before I jetted off to find shade. There are some benches on both sides of the park (or "mall") with trees to provide some shade. The mall (park) is very well maintained with well cut grass. There are dust bins (trash cans) at the ends where some benches are located. I recommend visiting this park especially on a warm spring or summer day. Bring a hat and water. **** - 28/200 total reviews in 2020 - 404 total overall Yelp reviews - Reviewed on 20 June 2020

I haven't fully explored the whole park but from what I've seen, they have walking paths, a playground, and tennis courts that are managed by the City of Bay Village. I recently visited during the second weekend in May 2026 to walk along the creek. I had just left the Bay Village library and noticed the little bridge over the creek so I decided to walk down to explore especially since the weather was beautiful on that day. I've been coming here during the summer months since around 2023, to play tennis. The tennis courts are in good condition and there are 4 total courts. I believe there are light posts in the evenings that automatically switch on for when it gets dark. Overall, this park is a great option to come to if you live in the west side of Cleveland or are just visiting. **** GOAL of 250 reviews in 2026 - 72/250 total reviews in 2026 - 913 total Yelp reviews - Reviewed on 11 May 2026
