Cuyahoga County purchased the land including Whiskey Island Marina in December, 2004. 
The County plans to return the park land to its natural state by eliminating invasive weeds, flowers and grasses, planting species indigenous to the area and planting shrubs that will provide food and habitats for wildlife thusly creating a sustainable natural environment.  Visitors will be able to enjoy a natural shoreline with direct access to Lake Erie, walk on trails through trees and meadows while enjoying stunning views of Lake Erie, the Flats and the downtown Cleveland skyline.

Realizing the County has many responsibilities to the community, The Wendy Park Foundation will assist in efforts to restore the natural environment and to provide an enhanced park space with natural shoreline by raising funds and awareness for projects. Our first corporate donor was Cargill Salt. Cargill, through its Cargill Cares program granted monies to restore native prarie grasses and plant a flower garden. The project is scheduled for completion in 2007.
