From the Desk of Mayor Bill Cervenik

The fall weather, with its cooler temperatures and beautiful scenery, is a great time of the year to be outdoors and enjoy the season on foot. Throughout Euclid there are numerous walking areas in our parks and also in the neighborhoods. In fact, Cleveland Magazine gave the city a 100% rating for having sidewalk lined streets. 

The Recreation Department’s Passport to Euclid program sponsors a series of 1 hour walks (1.5-2 miles) through the city’s eight wards once a week on Saturday mornings. The series of guided walks allows you to venture out of your own neighborhood and see what the other areas of Euclid are all about. Learn about Euclid history and hear updates concerning future projects. Meet your neighbors and make new friends. Walks are 1.5-2 miles in length and begin at 8:30am as follows:

October 5        Heroes Park, Hero Drive off Euclid Avenue

October 12      Lakeshore Christian Church, 28010 Lakeshore Blvd

October 19      Bethlehem Community Church, 24490 Euclid Avenue

October 26      Forest Park Junior High School, 27000 Elinore Avenue

The new walking paths in Sims Park, 23131 Lakeshore Blvd., offer an up-close view of Lake Erie and our new fishing pier.

The paths throughout the Euclid Creek Reservation, part of the Cleveland Metro Parks off of Highland Road, are particularly beautiful this time of the year and feature wooded hillsides running the length of the park. Whether you just want to take a leisurely stroll or a fast-paced walk or jog, Euclid has many options throughout the city. For more information on the Passport to Euclid or other recreation programs, call 216-289-2700 ext. 3955.

I hope to see you in the neighborhood.

Your Mayor,

Bill Cervenik
