Sims Park Reimagined: Master Plan Update 

The City of Euclid, Ohio, deeply values its lakefront, recognizing it as a vital community asset and a cornerstone of its identity as "The Lakefront City." This commitment is evident in the City's efforts to enhance Kenneth J. Sims Park, a key component of the City's vision for its waterfront. Previous park improvements, such as the 250-foot fishing pier, accessible walkways, restored Henn Mansion, and disc golf course, have transformed Sims Park into a popular destination for residents and visitors. With recent public investments, like the unprecedented and award-winning Lakefront Trail and Upland Sims Park Expansion projects, and through numerous comments by residents and park visitors, the remaining park layout and infrastructure does not serve the unique and varied needs and desires of the Euclid community.


See the updated Sims Park Master Plan here with plans for an updated playground, and new disc golf course configuration to enhance the exciting new site plans!
