Cleveland: A Waterfront City

Waterfront development in Cleveland, OH

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.

  • North Coast Waterfront Development
  • Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Expansion
  • Cleveland Harbor Eastern Embayment Resilience Strategy (CHEERS)
  • South Gordon Park
  • Patrick S. Parker Community Sailing Center
  • Mandel Community Trail
  • Euclid Beach Neighborhood
Lake Erie’s Next Chapter

The Cuyahoga River

With major investments underway, this historic waterway will soon feature accessible green spaces, riverwalks and trails linking communities to the water. Cleveland’s not just giving its iconic river a facelift, it’s redefining it — each twisty turn along the way.
