View of Downtown Cleveland from Edgewater Park
In 1894, Cleveland's Second Board of Park Commissioners purchased the land to be developed into Edgewater Park from park advocate Joseph B. Perkins for $205,958.07. Emulating Boston's park system, the board planned that these grounds would act as the north western edge of a chain of parkways and park lands encircling the city.
