From the desk of Mayor Bill Cervenik

Dear Friends:

Summer is here and it’s now time to enjoy spending time outdoors. There are many activities being offering and events taking place throughout the city. Here are a just few you won’t want to miss:

• City pools will be opening on June 10th  and along with them is the new Spray Park at Indian Hills playground. This is the first such facility in the City of Euclid and a great alternative to the traditional neighborhood pool, especially for families with young kids. The park also has picnic tables, lounge chairs and an updated baseball field.

• Passport to Euclid Walking Program - June 1-November 9,  on Saturday mornings  from 8:30 am to 9:30 am. Meet your neighbors, make new friends. Walks are done at a leisurely pace and are 1.5-2 miles in length. Call the Euclid Recreation Dept. for more details at 216-289-8114, option 8.

• 2nd annual Euclid Wind Festival takes place on Saturday, June 22, from 11 am – 7 pm on the grounds of Shore Cultural Centre at 291 East 222 St. This year’s festival expands on last year’s popular lineup of fun, food and activities for all ages. A variety of artists, musicians and community environmental partners will be on hand.

• Touch a Truck – Monday, June 17th 1-3 pm outside of the Euclid Public Library, 631 East 222nd Street.  Kids of all ages will love to see the big, city vehicles up close and personal and are welcome to climb inside and see how they work.

• Euclid Pond and Garden Tour – Saturday, June 29 from 6-10 pm and Sunday, June 30 from 1-6 pm. Come and view beautiful ponds and gardens that your neighbor’s around Euclid have to showcase. Tickets for self-guided tour $5.00. Purchase tickets at Euclid City Hall, Recreation Dept or at Briardale Greens Golf Course.

I hope you enjoy strolling along the new walking paths throughout Sims Park and the soon to be completed fishing pier.  Sitting on a park bench and watching the sun set over Lake Erie is something you don’t want to miss seeing this summer.  I hope to see you in the neighborhood.

Your Mayor

Bill Cervenik
