LAKEWOOD PARK LAKEFRONT PROJECT GRAND OPENING SET FOR MAY 26TH
Mayor Thomas J. George and Lakewood City Council invite you to attend the Grand Opening of the most recent lakefront project at Lakewood Park on Friday, May 26, 2006 at 10:00 a.m. The project is highlighted by a stunning handicap-accessible ramp, with stonewalls and brick pavers, which extends from the top of the bluff to the lower Lakefront Promenade. The Lakefront Promenade is a gorgeous brick walkway where visitors can enjoy a lovely view of the lake as well as a wonderful skyline of downtown Cleveland.
The ramp and walkway are part of the larger Lakewood Park Lakefront Development Project, which includes the multi-purpose trail that opened in November of 2005. Future construction phases of the Lakefront Development will include access to a natural beachfront just west of the existing park.
“I am pleased to announce the opening of the walkway to the new promenade along the lakefront,†stated Mayor George. “The completion of this handicap-accessible walkway is another milestone in our Lakewood Park Lakefront Development Project.â€Â
