Cleveland is climbing closer to earning its Forest City moniker. In The Trust for Public Land’s 2018 ParkScore report, we rose eight spots to 37th among the 100 most-populated U.S. cities based on park acreage, investment, amenities and access. Enjoy our 3,002 acres of parkland at these August events.
CLE Summer Cinema at Loew Park
Tuesday evenings are star-studded at Old Brooklyn’s 6-acre Loew Park. Arrive early Aug. 7 for Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, or Aug. 14 for Coco, and shop the Old Brooklyn Farmers Market. “We make our events accessible for everyone,” says Jason Powers, director of marketing and development for Old Brooklyn Community Development Corp. Free, Loew Park, 4741 W. 32nd St., Cleveland, 216-664-2570, facebook.com/clesummercinema
Cleveland Sand Festival
Coastline architects battle to build the best beachy mansions and more during the Aug. 4 American Institute of Architects event at Edgewater Park. “This raises awareness of Cleveland as a beach town,” says event organizer Wayne Mortensen. $300 per team, Edgewater Park, 6700 Cleveland Memorial Shoreway, Cleveland, 216-626-5755, aiacleveland.com
Wendy Park Wednesday
Guided kayak and paddleboard tours prove Cleveland’s skyline looks even better from the water. First-timers dip their feet during the one-hour “try-it” session before embarking on the two-hour sunset cruise. “[Most people] haven’t seen that vantage point,” says Rachel Nagle, Cleveland Metroparks outdoor recreation manager. $5-$35, 2800 Whiskey Island Drive, Cleveland, 216-635-3200, clevelandmetroparks.com
