What is Wendy Park?
Wendy Park is the 22-acre park that runs along both the Cuyahoga River and Lake Erie in the heart of Cleveland, Ohio. It’s the place where people can go to escape the urban landscape and relax amid the trees, water and wildlife thriving in the heart of the City of Cleveland. The park is home to a variety of animals – barn swallows, blue heron, turtles, deer and even some coyotes – to name just a few. The wildlife share this beautiful space with boaters, kayakers, jet skiers, fishermen, volleyball players, hikers, bikers, bird watchers, and even the occasional train watcher. Summers here offer league play, special events, educational events, or just the opportunity to see the sunset over Lake Erie.

Wendy Park’s green space stands out among the stone piles, warehouses and smokestacks that are part of Cleveland’s heritage. The unique and amazing bridges that span the Cuyahoga River are a wonderful backdrop for the cottonwood and birds that lift the eye to the impressive downtown skyline. The Park sits right at the water’s edge, and the spires of the city’s buildings loom gracefully on the bluffs above – exposing what many believe to be the best view the City of Cleveland has to offer.
