This place is amazing! I came here when I first moved to CLE and appreciated the view of the skyline from the west side of the city. After that I didn't make much of an effort to come here and then moved away.
Now that I'm back (semi-temporarily), one of the first things I wanted to do was visit Edgewater park. I didn't have a good reason, just that good memory of my first time in the city and wanting to recapture a sense of novelty.
One of the last days of Indian Summer this past week was the perfect opportunity to go back. I got out of work in the afternoon and immediately made the trek down to the park. It was a perfect fall day, verging on summer temperatures, and an amazing day to appreciate both nature and the city all at the same time. The lake was a sapphire blue, sailboats dotted the horizon, and the gulls kept their distance so I avoided getting bombed. I almost felt like I was at the ocean, and since I love the waterfront, I was one happy camper.
Be sure your next visit to CLE includes a trip to Edgewater Park, especially if it's a nice day. It's a great treat on the waterfront and one not to be missed if you have the chance!
