We need your help! Bialosky + Partners Architects is leading a team with Cleveland Metroparks to design a new Beach House facility at Cleveland's Edgewater Beach. Cleveland Metroparks assumed management of Edgewater Beach and Park and other Cleveland lakefront parks in June 2013 creating the Lakefront Reservation.
To aid in the design process, we need your help to envision the future of this facility and vitality of the beach! Learn more about the project, give feedback, and take part in the conversation at the project MindMixer page: http://metroparksedgewater.mindmixer.com/
Additionally, our team solicited feedback at three public meetings that took place earlier this month. The open house meetings focused on the overall $14 million of planned Cleveland Metroparks lakefront park improvements. Learn more about those meetings and other Clevleand Metroparks Lakefront Reservation projects here: http://clevelandmetroparks.org/Main/Lakefront-Planning-Meetings.aspx
In the late winter or early spring of 2015, our team will present developed designs at a second round of public meetings.
