Lakewood Park, Cuyahoga County, Ohio Lake Erie Public Access Site

Location: Lake Avenue, at Belle Avenue 14532 Lake Avenue Lakewood, OH Latitude: N 41° 29.71’ Longitude: W 081° 47.81’ Waterbody: Lake Erie Access Site Type: Recreational Environments: Bluff Manmade Shore Monitoring: - Research: - Grants: CMAG 2003	The 40.5-acre Lakewood Park is on Lake Avenue at Belle Avenue in the city of Lakewood. Additional access points and parking are available on the park’s west side, and also on the park’s east side from the intersection of Parkside and Edgewater drives. Lakewood Park provides one-third mile of coastal access; however, the 14 acres that comprise the majority of the shore is fill material that was placed in Lake Erie from 1935 to 1956. A revetment helps prevent erosion along the park’s entire shore. Along the top of the revetment on the park’s north and west sides is Lakefront Promenade, which was completed in 2006. Construction of this Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) compliant, brick paver walkway was paid for in part with a 2003 grant from the Ohio Coastal Management Program. The path extends from the top of the bluff at the northeast corner of the park’s property down to the lower promenade. The promenade provides scenic views of downtown Cleveland aided by stationary binoculars placed along the path. Lakewood Park does not have a beach; however, one of the city’s two public outdoor swimming pools is located here. Additional amenities at the partially shaded Lakewood Park include picnic shelters and tables, grills, playground equipment, a bandstand, a paved trail network, sand volleyball courts, baseball fields and a skate park. The Women’s Club, Kiwanis Pavilion and the Oldest Stone House Museum are also on site.	Location Map: Select for interactive map viewer of Ohio's Lake Erie Public Access sites Amenities and Services:
