A major overhaul has begun at Garfield Park Reservation, which will include the restoration of a historic pond, new trails and a recreational area for families to gather, the Cleveland Metroparks announced in a news release.
Since it became a public park in 1894, the Garfield Park Reservation has been a popular destination for the community. The park formerly featured two ponds that served as a year-round destination for family activities including fishing, row boating and ice skating. But by the 1950s and 60s during the industrial boom, sediment build-up in Wolf Creek deteriorated the health of the creek and ponds and stopped generations of families from enjoying the thriving water habitats.
The Metroparks received two separate $1 million donations from Ohio CAT and the Brown and Kunze Foundation, along with support from other family foundations and the Northeast Ohio Regional Sewer District. The restoration of the historic two-acre pond will feature fishing docks, overlooks and a new surrounding accessible trail network.
