During a recent visit to Euclid Beach, I took a walk into the nearby Wildwood Park (both properties are part of the Cleveland Metroparks’ Euclid Creek Reservation today) to get a look through the fence at the 3 concrete cottages from the original Euclid Beach Park campground which still stand on the present-day trailer park property (currently under redevelopment). The cottages are not in good condition, but I’m cautiously optimistic that they could possibly be restored or at least preserved. I’ve heard it suggested that one or more of these buildings should eventually become a small museum about Euclid Beach Park’s history, and while I’m not currently aware of any official decisions or plans for the cottages, I personally think that a permanent historical display there would be wonderful!
I am also aware of a couple of other surviving structures from the Euclid Beach Park campground. An original ticket booth was recently removed from the property by the Cleveland Metroparks for preservation (I’m currently on the lookout for updates on their plans for this), and as of October 2024, I believe there was at least one street sign embedded in a tree in the trailer park which I was told is original to the campground.
If you’re aware of any additional remnants that are still around from the Euclid Beach Park campground, please comment below or contact me to let me know!
