Bathers at Edgewater Park
Most of Cleveland's popular urban park lands were acquired by the Second Board of Park Commissioners between 1894 and 1900. The land was often received as a gift or at a low price on the condition that the city would improve the grounds and thereby increase the desirability and value of the surrounding area. Cleveland's park lands grew from ninety-three acres to over 1,200 acres within a decade.
