Lakewood Park, the 25-acre park that sits in the middle of Lakewood, Ohio's shoreline, was for many decades a construction and demolition debris landfill, and prior to that, a garbage dump that operated before contemporary landfill regulations.
In 2015, the city finished the park with the Solstice Steps, a set of masonry bleachers overlooking Lake Erie. The steps fill a gap between the coziness of Lakewood's tree-lined streets and the vastness of the Great Lake. The view from the Solstice Steps centers on the summer solstice when the setting sun reaches its northernmost point on the horizon every year.
Regardless of the time of year, Lakewood Park provides visitors beautiful, scenic views of sunsets over Lake Erie and the Cleveland skyline.
