    Dirty dirty dirty! We came here for Mother's Day and were very disappointed. We found trash everywhere including condoms, tampons and even worse a needle!!!! This place needs cleaned up! People do not take your kids here until this place gets attention.

    It is a cool place to lay out a towel and get some sun as you listen to the sounds of the waves crash against the shore... However it does have a bit of trash in some areas and could be cleaner.

    Beautiful sunset one summer day

    Love coming here in the summer to watch the sun set. However I wouldn't recommend this place for a picnic or a fun day at the beach. The sand is very rocky and littered with trash. Water isn't healthy to swim in. But the have a nice pier that you can fish off of or just sit and relax and watch the water. The park is nice and usually busy. They have a playground for kids.

    It's a very pleasant little beach. It's quite clean and I try to go there every day to relax.

    Perhaps instead of complaining about the trash everyone should take one bag there and pick up some liter. WE can make it better.

You are pretty much on a cliff's edge overlooking the sparkling lake. How picturesque! Usually a pretty quiet park, it's also a nice getaway during the daytime to just relax. It's very dog friendly place and great for bringing the whole family. This metropark has tons of places to unwind such as benches, swings, picnic tables, and Adirondack chairs - Even a cute little gazebo for some shade! Within the last few years, the park got a really nice deck installed that takes you out over the edge a bit. The deck also features various information plaques, mainly about the wonderful surrounding nature, facts about the lake, and the birds you may spot while there. You used to be able to walk down the hillside to the water, but I don't think the park wants visitors to do that anymore. While yes, it is a park, the name is Lakefront Lodge because of its on-site rentable building. This little space is great for throwing parties and showers (with a great view)! Totally recommend!

There is a main trail that loops around and borders the lake. Most of the rim there is foliage blocking the view but there are a few open spots and the overlook spot if you want a view of the lake. I would recommend verring onto the Northern Harrier Trail which was our favorite. Felt very whimsical with all of the wildflowers and deer. This is an excellent spot for birding. Saw a few groups with binoculars. I broke our my bird call app and had dozens of birds identified that we then tried to find. Very fun! The trail itself is pretty short but it's worth doing a few laps if you've got the time. Or taking it really slow to soak it up. There is large parking lot available. Google maps takes you right to it.

There's a small bench with a partial view of the water--pleasant peaceful. The trail itself is flat and easy, though the lake is mostly hidden behind a solid wall of brush there are a few spots w nice views. Still, it was quiet, uncrowded, and gave us what we wanted: a short, peaceful stroll without any surprises. Mission accomplished.

Lots of pluses. First, there's a spacious parking lot which has direct footbridge access to the Villa Angela Beach (which has the Cleveland sign). Second, if you enjoy fishing, Wildwood Park has a couple of locations off the piers which are amenable to early morning or late afternoon fishing from the land. Third, it's not as crowded as other beaches in the metro area. One downside, however, is the limited areas where swimming is permitted. This is probably for safety reasons (to help the lifeguards). If you have younger children, however, this beach is a nice option. Overall, I would probably not go out of my way to visit this beach. But if you're staying on the northeast side of Cleveland, it's worth a stop.

You can see the beach, Lake Erie and downtown in the background. The beach was surprisingly well maintained. No garbage. The rocks were beautiful. I also found a bunch of pretty sea glass. The water was brownish. I did walk in it. Not sure I'd want to swim in it though. Lovely views all around. People fishing off the bridge 'catching fresh air'. I couldn't believe it was not packed. If I lived here, I'd be here often.

    George V. Voinovich Bicentennial Park…read more This park is an absolute gem in Cleveland--peaceful, beautiful, and full of character. Voinovich Bicentennial Park sits right along Lake Erie, offering stunning panoramic views of the water. On a clear day, you're actually facing Canada, which lies just across the lake--how cool is that? Out in the water, there's a long rock barrier (part of the harbor breakwall system) that adds a coastal, serene feel to the entire landscape. When I visited, there was a live opera performance happening right in the park, which made the experience feel even more special. You can sit on the grass or along the cement steps, which makes it a great spot for a picnic, sunset-watching, or just relaxing near the water. There are often events held here, so it's worth checking the schedule if you're visiting--though honestly, just showing up might surprise you with something fun. The atmosphere is open and vibrant, but still calm and clean. You'll also find: * Boat rentals nearby if you want to get on the water * Restaurants right along the shore * Hotels with waterfront views, all within walking distance The park itself is well-maintained, clean, and has lots of visual interest, including ships docked nearby and big open views of the lake and sky. I visited in the evening, and the sunset over the water was absolutely breathtaking--a perfect end to the day. I can't wait to come back and spend more time here. Whether you're a local or just visiting, this is one of those spots that makes you stop, take a deep breath, and just enjoy where you are.

    It might not seem like much, but Lincoln Park is almost the perfect park in almost the perfect…read moreCleveland neighborhood: Tremont. It's a large rectangle with (mostly) symmetrically pathways diagonal and across, but not through. It's all grass, and there are dozens of trees (and hundreds of squirrels), but aside from the children's playground in the southeast quadrant and the gazebo in the very center, there's not much variation. You can probably play a game of soccer/football/ultimate/kill the carrier in the northern part, where the trees are sparsest, but it isn't really a playing-sports park. No, Lincoln Park is more of a let's-visit-the-park kind of park. Maybe a poet's park? It's somewhere to walk and contemplate. I've done hours and hours of walking here, often in the snow, although I wish those hours had added up to at least days, if not weeks. One of my only regrets (of things under my control) from my year of living in Cleveland is that I didn't spend as much time in Tremont as I wanted to. The park really is lovely. It was way underutilized back then, but even though it was often nearly or totally empty, it didn't feel unloved. It's a proud old park in a proud old neighborhood of a proud old city. Whenever you're ready to enjoy it, it will be waiting silently for you. I really love it.

It is a very nice and well kept park in terms of cleanliness, but I will say the only reason why this review isn't 5 stars is because the homeless population is a bit overwhelming at times. I have physically seen people talking to themselves or digging through the trashcan at this park. I really wish there was some way the park or the police perhaps could assist these people who regularly attend the park. Other than those factors, it is very nice! I also enjoy the Farmer's Market on Tuesdays during the summer!
