Cleveland is Making Waves
Imagine morning yoga along Lake Erie, a casual stroll through a riverfront park with friends or sipping drinks watching a Cuyahoga sunset. Now multiply that by nearly $5 billion in investment and you’re looking at a transformation that will redefine Cleveland’s connection to the water, creating spaces for locals and visitors to gather, explore and thrive.
From new biking trails and a kayak-friendly waterfront to a riverwalk and pop-up lakefront parks, Cleveland is turning “waterfront access” into “waterfront obsession.” Add in a land bridge, new greenspaces and sailing opportunities, and Cleveland is positioned as a premier waterfront destination for decades to come.
Lake Erie
A new era is on the horizon for Cleveland’s Lake Erie shoreline. With billions in planned development, the waterfront is becoming a destination where nature, culture and community connect. From reimagined parks to lively gathering spaces, every detail is designed to bring people closer to the lake.
