Cleveland Metroparks, which took over management of the lakefront parks in June 2013, is working on a strategic plan for the future of these regional assets. Here are three public meetings where you're invited to participate.

"The public is invited to attend any of the scheduled meetings to provide input on the proposed improvement projects, including plans for a new beach house at Edgewater Park, renovations to the pier at Euclid Beach Park and the proposed new pedestrian bridge over Euclid Creek linking Villa Angela and Wildwood parks.  Additionally, attendees will have access to the latest Cleveland Metroparks updates and are encouraged to provide feedback on their recent visitor experiences at the lakefront parks.

All three of the public meetings are open house style from 
5-7 p.m., with special presentations at 5:15 and 6 p.m. The first meeting is Tuesday, December 2 at Our Lady of Mt. Carmel, in the gymnasium, 1355 W. 70th St., Cleveland, followed by Wednesday, December 3 at Cleveland Metroparks Lakefront Management Center, 8701 Lakeshore Blvd. NE, Cleveland, and then Thursday, December 4 at the Collinwood Recreation Center, 16300 Lakeshore Blvd., Cleveland.
