Euclid Beach keeps getting cleaner

We just received another update from Stephen Love (Euclid Beach Adopt-A-Beach Team Coordinator). Sounds like the beach keeps getting cleaner and cleaner. Take advantage of this great news by enjoying the lake with a picnic at sunset in the near future.

Also, don't forget the next beach clean-up is July 17th, which will also include a sand castle contest. Come on out!

Here is Stephen's update:

On Saturday May 22nd, volunteers from Arts Collinwood, Tri-C, Baldwin-Wallace College, The Friends of Euclid Creek and local residents came together to clean and screen Euclid Beach Park! Even in the heat, we collected over 90 pounds of trash including 640 cigar tips, 450 pieces of plastic, 180 caps/lids and much more!

With summer upon us, we are going to need your help! Join the Euclid Beach Adopt-a-Beach Team this summer along with 9,000+ other volunteers across the Great Lakes as we tackle some of the toughest months of the year for beach and water quality! Remember, our Great Lakes constitute over 1/5 of the earth's fresh surface water so let’s take care of them while we still have the chance!

Join us for our next beach visit on Saturday July 17th at 11am at Euclid Beach Park as part of an all day event. Arts Collinwood has partnered with the Euclid Beach Adopt-A-Beach Team to bring you a day of summer festivities and family fun at Euclid Beach. We will kick off the day with a beach clean up where you can help take care of Cleveland's greatest resource. Then grab your shovels and start building your best sand creations. Get ready for lots of prizes! After all that hard work, enjoy a cookout and entertainment by local artists.
