If you have never visited Garfield Park Reservation, then you simply don't know what you're missing.
This lovely park traces its roots back to 1894, and its long history can be seen in many of its attractions. From the thick trunks of the old trees to the stonework of the 1930s New Deal-era projects, there is much to uncover in this pretty place.
Visitors are treated to all sorts of wondrous surprises...
Mill Creek Falls is a whopping 48 feet tall, and it is actually man-made.
It’s said that a railroad company diverted Mill Creek in the early 1900s. When the stream traveled its new course, it cascaded down exposed stone ledges.
Unlike many other Metroparks, this one was originally purchased and founded by the City of Cleveland. While this reservation is one of the most urban Metroparks, its loveliness is still unbeknownst to many locals.
This gorgeous destination is easily accessible from Warner Road.
Since 1986, the Cleveland Metroparks have been leasing and maintaining this gorgeous destination in Cleveland. Whether you're reconvening with nature or just unwinding, you are sure to have a great time in this park.
Whether you're stopping by for a quick picnic or spending hours exploring, you are in for a treat.
