Go to http://www.railsandtrails.com/Cleveland/index.html and scroll down to "1894 Souvenir Map of Cleveland, Lake Shore & Michigan Southern Railway." Click on the name of the map; in the next screen click on the righthand image of the map itself. You will get a magnifier which will help you find the park along the lake shore in sections C5/C6. According to patcle67857's excellent response, the park ran along the shore of Lake Erie between Erie and Bank Streets. These are now East 9th Street and what appears to be West 6th Street. The map, however, makes it appear to run between Erie (E. 9) and Seneca (W. 3) Streets. It looks to me as if this park was the precursor of what became the Donald Gray Gardens and Boudreau Blvd., between the old Cleveland Municipal Stadium and the lake. Edgewater (west side) and Gordon (east side) Parks are different from this park.

Oh EXCELLENT find! Thanks. I had found some postcards on Ebay that showed the park but couldn't figure out where that it was located because it didn't look like Edgewater or any of the other parks I am familiar with. Guess this is just more of Cleveland's lost history.
