Toes to the Edge

…In addition to being a permanent home for rowing, the vision of Rivergate Park will include biking, kayaking and dragon boat racing, as well as hiking and bird watching, making it a multi-faceted recreation destination along the Cuyahoga River.

The Cleveland Rowing Foundation is raising money to purchase the old Commodore Club Marina land on the East bank of the Cuyahoga River. Today is the last day of a matching grant.

Rivergate Park is about public access to the river in addition to being a home for Cleveland’s rowing community.

If you can, please support this effort by making a donation to the effort. Drawings of the proposed park and other information is at: http://clevelandrows.org/rivergate_park.php
