City Dump, 1935
The Lakewood city dump sat below Lakewood Park on the shoreline of Lake Erie from the 1920s until the 1960s. A breakwall surrounded the dump and prevented most of the waste from polluting the lake. When the dump was removed, it created room for more parkland and an extension of the park down to the shoreline.
