Our Parks

Cleveland Heights is blessed with over 140 acres of historic parks in the Doan Brook and Dugway watersheds, as well as in all compass points of the city.

Dugway Brook Parks

The Dugway Brook watershed, occupying 50% of the city, begins upstream at Cain Park and connects to Schoolhouse Park, Cumberland Park, and Forest Hill Park. The Dugway Brook chain of parks was built over the west branch of the Dugway Brook that runs diagonally across the geographical center of our 8-square mile city.
