This park was very big with lots of wide open spaces, walking trails, a pier, beaches, and a big playground for kids.
We enjoyed the park with our toddler. The park had a big kid area and a toddler area. There were lots of ropes to climb up, a bridge, musical aspects, slides, and balance beams. The park was mostly wooden and very cool and interactive for kids.

Edgewater park is pretty big! On the east side you have the pier and the beach and on the west side you have the iconic Cleveland script sign with the skyline in the background. Beautiful grounds with plenty of places to set up a picnic or just let the kids play. This is a great place to take the family to be near Lake Erie and get good views of the city. I will take visitors here who are new to Ohio.

We went here on a warmer afternoon in early October. The beach wasn't too crowded. We walked the trail around the park. It seemed clean, and everyone was very nice.
We also found that they have a dog beach. It is not marked well at all. You can't really find it from the parking lot, unless you're looking for it. It's on the west side of the beach. There is a sign pointing that direction, if you go all the way around the beach, but it doesn't have its own sign. You just have to figure it out by the dogs. :) We found all of the people and dogs to be nice. It was nice to have a place where the dog could swim.

Really enjoyed our visit to Edgewater Park over the Labor Day weekend. It wasn’t too crowded, so getting one of those classic photos of the famous “Cleveland” script sign in front of Lake Erie with the Cleveland skyline as backdrop didn’t take long. Later we walked down to one of the beaches (the dog beach for Cherry Wonderdog), where just a few dogs wandered to and hither. We didn’t swim, but we did have a great time searching for (and finding) beach glass. There was ample sun protection from tall trees behind the beach for those choosing to indulge in a good novel. Our tranquil stay was embellished by a hang-glider who flew back and forth along the beach at low altitude. Very special!

Great place to dip your hand or toes in Lake Erie for a Great Lakes checklist. We walked down a pier for photos, strolled the concrete path for awhile, and watched families picnic in the expansive park area…all clean and safe and beautiful. Then, we drove around the curve to the west to see the Cleveland sign for totally unexpected city skyline views plus this other stellar surprise!

The Edgewater park is a nice recreational area just a few minutes drive west of downtown Cleveland.
At the time of our visit there was plenty of parking (rainy and pretty cold April day). With very few visitors the park seemed quiet with great downtown panorama and Cleveland sign (there's also another one at the back of RnR Hall of Fame).
I suppose it's much more lively in good weather and summer.

This is a beautiful park to visit. We were there in the afternoon and it was clean and I felt safe there. We got pictures of the Cleveland script. The lake is breathtaking! We actually saw a girl walking a fox on a leash! There is a path to the beach by the shelter. You can walk the trail to get to the shelter or drive and park in the lot at the shelter. The shelter has a lot of birds flying around and lots of bird poop. I'm not sure I would eat there, but it does have a restroom.

Good location, very nice, clean kid playing area. The beach area is good with rinse off station and restroom for changing, foods, except the water is not clean, it seem to have a lot of decomposed tiny stuff from tree, leaf or something not trash in the water
and wash up, not sure if this is year round condition or just during my visit in middle of July. It would be a wonderfull beach to swim, relax and play if the water is clean. Definitely not good when accidentally swallow the water.

We went mid March, on a day when the ‘feels like’ temperature was only 11, so it was pretty cold for us. But it was still very beautiful to walk along the frozen trail and see some of nature’s ice sculptures. Ample free parking.

We visited in late October, so didn't get to experience the park in nice, warm weather. Even so, we were very impressed with the beach area, the walking trails, and the really cool overlook/photo up with the "Cleveland" sign. A really nice park, and a must-see if you visit Cleveland.

How far of a distance is the parking lot to the beach area? I am coming alone with two little ones and will be lugging all our beach items and want to be prepared.
Written July 9, 2019
Not far if you get there early. It does have a large parking lot so parking isn't a problem if you park on the beach level of the park. Also there is a sidewalk that wraps around the beach and goes to the upper part of the park. There are plenty of picnic tables and shade trees there. BUT I wouldn't walk it with small children and equipment. I hope this answers your question. Have a great day at the beach.

Yes...there were many dogs there...all well behaved...lol

The parking is really close to the beach. Hardly 100 - 150 footsteps away from the beach.

Does the park have oversize parking spot? We will be in 26-foot truck with trailer and we want to stop by for a picnic. Thank you.

The answer from Donovan C above is good. Here is a phone # for Edgewater Park 216-635-3200. You cannot park the trailer overnight, but can park till aftersunset.
Do note, there is continuing construction going on around the area, but with patience you can get there and enjoy the lake and surrounding grounds.

I read you can reserve a cabana - how much is that and can you pre-reserve?
