Its beautiful and peaceful. Not for swimming but nice to go feed the birds and sit and enjoy the view of the lake. There are two bathrooms onsite. 3 benches facing the lake. Not too crowded. Ive always found a place to park, so yes parking on site for free.
Just okay. I’ve been coming to this place for years, the pier still isn’t open and accessible. Tiny beach, not great for swimming. Most people come to enjoy the view, walk their dogs, and launch kayaks. In all the years I’ve been here, I’ve never seen the restrooms or food hut ever open. Really small park for such a large parking lot. Small sandy areas to the sides of the pier, with nothing to offer except a bench. There are better waterfront / beachfront parks in the area. This one is disappointing.
Great place for a quick picnic and to see the lake. Great beach for finding beach glass.
This place is so relaxing!! Just to go and take a breather from life and sit and listen to the waves. Love it here
Used to love it. Has been 2 years and pier still not repaired. People kayak HERE a lot but beach not the best for swimming. Nice little park though.
I love going there to find beach glass. But, you couldnt cross the foot bridge, why cant it just be fixed. And the pier is closed, why, for covid, its outside? Get it together it all looks horrible.
Great place. Peir closed, walk qay closed do to COVID. Stop by, bring your water toy and play.
Very beautiful and quite. Just listen to the water hit again the rocks seeing the seagulls do what they do. Just so peaceful
Yesrs ago, my mother-in-law began reading “ The Exorcist “. She said it was the most evil book she has ever read. So evil in fact, she couldn’t finish it, took it down to the lake where this pier is and threw it in the lake....I went out, bought another copy of the book and ran it under the faucet, and left it beside her bed.....:)
Kinda sucks everything is blocked off and closed now. Used to love coming here
They are never going to finish this spot. I used to love the view and fishing there. Been closed for 2yrs
Just.a great place to go to enjoy our Great Lake Erie.
Beautiful scenic Would love to live close enough to get it daily
Can be a nice place to watch the lake and look for treasures but can also be very dirty at times. Just depends on the day.
Today was windy. Lotta waves etc crashing into pier. But still beautiful
I love coming here to clear my head and enjoy the view
Was looking for a cool place to watch the sunset over the lake and stumbled upon this boardwalk right before a storm was hitting. Not only did we see amazing views, it was very simple and was perfect on a cool summer night. When we went, it wasnt too crowded so we got to watch some of the fishermen finishing up for the night while enjoying the views!
Rocky River has started new construction on pier and surrounding Park.
Perfect place to watch a sunset
Looks like it used to be a nice park, but the pier is currently closed (and has been since 11/2017). There are plans to renovate it starting spring 2020, and the plans look very nice.
Comfortable and familiar, yet different every time.
Absolutely gross. Do Ohioans not care about The Great Lakes or Earth? More trash than rocks. An actual tampon applicator, package of sweet and sour, and a needle cap all 6 inches of each other. The water was beautiful but the disgusting beach kept me from so much as putting a toe in. The pier was closed off for structural damage. With The tax rates around here why is that accident waiting to happen still standing? Eww, just eww.
FABULOUS PLACE! Cant wait for peir to be complete!
Great place to sit and collect beach glass.
GREAT little park
Great Pickin here for Lake Erie glass. It is also dog friendly, very nice spot
Beautiful place to enjoy the lake and sit and relax
A lot needs to be done! The pier is closed and we all are anxious for the repair.
I really like.hanging out on the beach here. Its a great spot for lake glass and neat rocks. Also there is a liquor store right next door holla
I use to give it a 5 star, but through out the yearsIt has gone down hill, fast. Its a disappointment how much Rocky River cost to live here, but the city has neglected its Citys parks. The allow the beach to become filthy, and now its pier to be closed for a year now. The city has done nothing to fix, or clean up the park. Trash everywhere, the little shop is run down and boarded up, the bridge closed off, the pier closed.But, I still love coming here. Its simple, quiet and on the water.
Pier is closed over 2 yrs. So is access to the beach area.
Nice place to watch a sunset or take a stroll. Nice parking. The pier is closed off though, so you cant go out.
Fun to watch the little geese, from a distance
Used to be a nice park and Fishing Pier! dont know what happened but looks like they stopped taking care of it and closed it down very disappointing!!! Hopefully they fix it back up again such a shame
Great to just sit and relax and watch the water and the boats just wish I could have walked down the dock but its closed off
The city of Rocky River should be ashamed of themselves. They are letting the pier fall to pieces .
My brother Tom loved this pier...
I use to love to bring the dogs here. Not anymore. I guess they arent going to fix anything. The beach was nasty dirty. Wont be back
Would LOVE for them to repair the dock so we could go out on it
Beautiful location. Fun to look for lucky stones and driftwood here
This area has great views of Lake Erie. The reason for 3 stars is that the pier for fishing is damaged so you cant walk out. Once that is repaired it will be much better. Restrooms available and some parking but can get crowded in warm weather.
Enjoyed being here! Great scenic view Best rundown beach and pier. Man fishing here dog walking
Its starting to seem like they are never going to fix the pier . Its been closed forever now amd not even any signs of progress. They also should have someone spend 5 min picking up trash. I dont mind the draft wood thats natural but then the rest is just plastic and a couple rotting fish.
I moved across the street about 2 years ago. The thing that really sealed the deal for me was having this park across the street. Two months after I moved in the pier, bridge, and beach closed down and haven’t been repaired since. We are coming up on two years of ZERO construction. I read an article for the multi-million dollar, fancy plan they had for it but why? Why can’t you just repair the pier and bridge and then focus on the rest later? Pretty disappointed.
Just a nice place to have a break.
Just a 2 star because its been closed for soooo long and zero progress.
Greqt to pick up sea glass, bring your dog, a friend or family member or simply to meditate. Apparently in the past, you could rent boats here.
Calm place to be at. I wish there were more areas to sit, but overall a relaxing experience!
Love sitting and watching the boats and enjoying the water, but wish they would plant a few more shade trees there.
Cant wait for those renovations to be done.
This use to be a great place to get out on the lake but it looks like tax dollars are going elsewhere! Theyve completely shut down the bridge and pier and even cut off foot traffic on the small bridge! Be careful crossing the creek its like quick sand now with garbage, tampons and what might be mulch! I hope they chase out the geese too and get with all the other metro park offerings! its a great spot if they care. Dont go in the restroom! Trust me!
One of the best places to visit the lake.
This was the selling point for me moving to this area. A true gem in Rocky River. Can’t wait until the pier opens up again! Best sunsets you will ever see in your life.
Its lake erie which is so beautiful. Wish pier was open and beaches cleaner. Seems awful and dirty.
The lake here is forever changing. Love it here
Lake Erie morsel- Needs some work on the pier to enjoy this jem.
Needs to be fixed up and cleaned up. Conveniently close to my mothers assisted living place to enjoy the sunset with her.
Best place by far for finding Seaglass
Beautiful view
This place is a good place to watch the sunrise or sunset. The pier is being repared right now. It wont be finished till some time next year in October. It will be even better once the pier work is finished.
Nice quiet
The city needs to take better care of this. Its dirty and falling apart. Its a shame it looks like this.
Wonderful park- like setting along Lake Erie. Great walking trail. Leashed dog-friendly. Ample parking
Time to put some money into this dump. Fix the pier
Nice little lakeside park. Plenty of parking, tables and benches for eating and sitting, and access to Lake Erie. Small, but scenic. Also contains an historical marker and lots of Canada geese in the summer.
Sad place now!! The piers and bridge have been closed off and are now falling apart. The place looks abandoned!!!
This is a great little park. all year if you like scavenging for rocks or beach glass you have plenty of opportunity (even in winter!). the beach area is small but still offers a nice spot by the lake. the pier closes in winter (but this is much more than just a spot to fish!) but when its open... its just amazing to walk on. the lake views are incredible. zen. or, you can just exercise, walk, roam, walk pets...so many options. its a nice little find and good for families. (and if you want to picnic, there are some tables and plenty of spaces to park.)
Beautiful lake views. Pier is temporarily closed due to weather damage accumulated over many years. If you want to see a beautiful Lake Erie sunset, this is a good, and free, place to do it.
Taking thier good old time to repair broke up a lot of fishing friends. Thanks a lot
Love it here...well the part where rocks are. Needs trash picked up
Maybe someday Rocky River will repair it.
Wish the Cleveland Metroparks take ownership of this place. Rocky River neither has the knowledge or money to keep this place up. Its in deplorable condition.
Beautiful day at the lake!
This is a great location to get on to the water if you are a kayaker or paddleboard person. The fishing pier is currently closed for repairs and not sure how long it will be closed, 2018, but when it is open it is a fantastic place to watch the sunset and fish off of. There are not many locations along the lake that give access to it so as far as that goes, this is a really good location.
It was nice to watch the waves and the ice on the pier as I ate my lunch before work.
Great little spot. 20 minutes here will change your mindset after a rough day. Someone I met on our first visit.
Beautiful peaceful spot to sit in your car or take a walk. Gather your thoughts while you view Lake Erie.
Open the pier! Love going on it. Very peaceful.
Very nice little park! Good place to hunt for beach glass,driftwood, and naturally tumbled stones.
The City needs to fix this place up. It is a gem and the wharf is damaged and beach needs fixed up.
Nice place to watch the sunset.
The pier and the bridge are both closed. It was a wasted trip
Nice place but needs to be cleaned up
Love erie
Bridge is under construction no fishing here.
Its beautiful here. A nice place to sit for a minute to collect your thoughts and relax.
Was awesome to see the ice piled high at the peir!
Best place for beach glass
This is a small park, nice in the summertime with a long pier to walk and fish on at your leisure. Look up the history on this place, its more than youd imagine at first glance. One bad thing - its across the street from a waste water treatment plant and sometimes that fragrance can carry.
