Wendy Park

Wendy Park is the only park in Cleveland that gives access to both the river and Lake Erie. It was purchased in 2004 and opened in 2005. Wendy Park is named for Wendy Moore, a native Clevelander who was captivated by the rugged beauty of Whiskey Island's shoreline.

You could never get close to it in the past and I had no idea it was built to look like a ship. Their plan is to restore the old building and I suspect it will be pretty cool to see it when completed. Guess that will be another trip back home.
