Memorial Park Improvements

Memorial Park has always been a destination for a variety of activities such as softball/baseball, tennis, soccer, swimming, basketball, gardening, a playground, and ice arena activities. Now there are even more reasons to come out and enjoy Memorial Park!

We are excited to announce that the park now includes dedicated pickleball courts and walking paths throughout.

In the spring of 2019, $30,000 in improvements to Serra field were completed. Among these renovations are new fencing, a resurfaced infield and the installation of an irrigation system.

Tips For a Fun and Safe Trick-or-Treat!

Fall is a magical. The leaves are turning, the air is crisp, and we’re all getting ready for the end of the year, busy and diligent after the heat of the summer. It can be hard running around, taking the kids to practices right after school, and squeezing in dinner somewhere between. It’s important to make time to relax and enjoy your family’s company, and Halloween celebrations are the perfect excuse. Among many different activities to part take in, Trick-or-Treating is a popular choice.

The Hidden Treasures of Park Space

We don’t always think of our park spaces as valuable resources. Many days we don’t think about them at all, being so caught up in the small details of everyday life, but they hold many unsuspectingly valuable features that are often completely overlooked. Did you know that your home could be worth more just because it is located close to a park? Did you know that certain plants and trees reduce storm water run-off and can process polluted water before it ever reaches the sewer plant? Did you know that walking in a park can improve your mood and lower your blood pressure? Not only do parks provide us with a leisurely gathering place, but they also contribute to the health and vitality of our communities.

Not Your Average Programs

Euclid Recreation provides a variety of programs that are commonly offered through other recreation departments across the country. After all, what would a recreation department be if it didn’t offer baseball, basketball, or football? These types of programs tend to be very popular, and are important in keeping people involved with their communities. Playing sports can be costly and time consuming for some families, and recreation programs help to supplement athletic opportunities with less expensive and less intensive alternatives.

Don't Let the Winter Get You Down!

We all know it. February is cold and dreary, and it can be hard to convince yourself to leave the house. Between dressing appropriately, catching the bus on time, or digging out the car, it can be quite a production just to get to the grocery store. Sometimes we forget how important it is to chase the winter blues away and enjoy the world during the cold months. Snuggling up at home is tempting, but staying active is important for both the body and brain!  Luckily here in Euclid, there are many opportunities to keep your mind off gray skies and frigid temperatures.
