Euclid Beach Park, located on the southern shore of Lake Erie in Cleveland, Ohio, is a historic site that once hosted a vibrant amusement park from 1895 to 1969. The park was renowned for its family-friendly atmosphere, featuring attractions like a Ferris wheel, merry-go-rounds, and a funhouse. Today, the area offers a 650-foot beach with shaded picnic areas, a scenic observation pier, and a reservable pavilion. Visitors can enjoy beautiful views of Lake Erie and the downtown Cleveland skyline from the new pier, which extends over the water. The park is part of the Euclid Creek Reservation, offering a mix of recreational activities and natural beauty.
The original amusement park was managed by the Humphrey family, who emphasized a moral and family-oriented environment with the slogan 'One Fare – Free Gate – No Beer.' Despite its closure, the site remains popular for picnics and outdoor activities.
The surrounding area includes other parks like Villa Angela and Wildwood, providing additional recreational opportunities such as fishing and paddling access to Lake Erie.
