Edgewater Park

In Lake Erie's hush, whispers ride the breeze,
Calm waters mirror the trees with such ease.
A soul, in awe, by its tranquil shores stands,
Lost in serenity spun by nature's hands.

The lapping waves hum a gentle song,
Peaceful moments where solace belongs.
Reflections dance upon the water's sheen,
A tranquil canvas, oh so serene.

The heart finds solace in this quiet grace,
Erie's embrace, a serene, tranquil place.
A soothing balm for a restless mind,
Here, in stillness, true peace one can find.

What's not to love about Edgewater? I'm grateful that I live a short drive or cozy walk away making it easier for me to visit at off peak times because this park does fill up when the weather is nice.
I visit to take walks, ride my bike, sit on a grassy hill and look at the lake or cityscape, or sit on the swings by the beach...and much more.
I've run into lots of friends and acquaintances reminding me just how small Cleveland is.
Parking can be a challenge on those great weather days/weekends but Metropark staff and occasionally the police help monitor park capacity and traffic flow.
If you visit once, you're quite likely to visit again!

This park is huge. I've been here a few times. This particular area was at the lookout. I've been to the other side as well by the Cleveland sign. There is plenty of picnic benches when the weather is beautiful. I've been to the beach side and it's so nice. Today is the first time I noticed they have a huge play area for families and the kids.

I absolutely love it here. A little something for everyone. Picnic tables and bbq grills. Walking trails. Ice cream Parler and beach area. Something for everyone.. the water is beautiful. Butterfly bushes attract hundreds of of butterflies. So beautiful. Best time to go is in the summer.

If you're visiting Cleveland and want somewhere to see a great sunrise or sunset then here's your stop. Short car ride maybe grab some donuts & coffee at Brewnuts and come here. Walk, sit on the beach or in your car. Very nice place to come

My partner and I were visiting Cleveland for the first time while he was on a work trip. We love to go for evening walks, especially while the weather is nice still. Since we were in Cleveland, we wanted to try to get by the water and we saw that this park was very popular.

We went around 630 so it's getting close to sunset and we did have a wonderful view of the water. The reason I'm giving it three stars is because of the number of gnats and insect that were there as well as the fact that the trail itself wasn't really what we expected based on pictures we saw .

Probably won't go back for just a walk, but maybe a bike ride instead to avoid the critters

This park has the Cleveland sign for a fun photo op; a pier, the lake and amazing views of the city from this park. We saw a wedding party, people fishing and just simply frolicking enjoying the sun. Parking was available. The park is huge!

Edgewater Park gets an A+ in my book. Admittedly, I have only been here in the warmer months to run, but it is always clean, well maintained, and appears safe. From a runner's perspective, the varied scenery and elevation is nice. There also appear to be a lot of people enjoying the beach on warmer days (complete with beach volleyball!), and there is at least one playground for children to enjoy. On a warm day with nothing to do, Edgewater Park is a great place to spend some time!

Beautiful park, lots of great views! The walking paths made it easy to get around on foot. We went to the top of the hill where there is a Cleveland sign, and is a great vantage point to get a picture of the city skyline. There were also a bunch of scooters and bikes on site if you didn't want to traverse the park on foot.

The beach was very clean and has some great amenities. There are multiple volleyball nets in place. There are some bench swings that comfortably fit 3-4 adults; it's a great spot to relax for a few in the shade. There's also a concession stand - that serves dog friendly ice cream!!

We saw people at the beach participating in various activities; football practice, fitness training, playing Frisbee, etc. This is a pet friendly park, so there were multiple people who brought their dogs with them.

This has become a very popular park in Cleveland for good reason. I'd never been, but we finally visited during the summer when visiting my parents.

It's a pretty long park. There's a beach as well as plenty of park area. We started out down by the beach which was really pretty.

Then we went up by the Cleveland sign which I preferred. Other than right by the sign, there were less people up there. There are also beautiful skyline views and plenty of shade.

If you haven't been, this park is a must in the summer.
