This summer, Cleveland, Ohio, will launch its “lakefront backyard,” the North Coast Yard, a temporary lakefront park along Lake Erie. Opening in May 2025 on a city-owned lot next to the Steamship Mather and north of Browns Stadium, this 1-acre public oasis will feature live music, local food vendors, cultural events, yard games, and stunning views of Lake Erie and the downtown skyline.
The North Coast Waterfront Development Corporation (NCWDC) is spearheading the project as part of its broader lakefront revitalization efforts. While long-term infrastructure projects are still years away, North Coast Yard offers Clevelanders an immediate opportunity to enjoy the waterfront. The park will host free programming from May through September, including basketball, pickleball, roller skating and more. A grand opening weekend is scheduled for June 13 – 15. NCWDC is seeking partners, sponsors and collaborators to bring this space to life.
