Beyerle's Park was a small place of amusement for late 19th century Clevelanders. It was located in a ravine in the Washington Park area (off Independence Street near Fleet Avenue). By 1898, the park was called Forest City Park.
The image to the right shows the lake and footbridge. In the next image ladies, in the fashions of the day, are boating upon the lake.
Amusements there included a ballroom for dancing, a beer hall, rollerskating, boating (see images on the right), and fishing. The park was owned by the Humphrey family until they decided to create a much larger park called Euclid Beach.
Up until the 1930's the site continued as a park until the City traded off the westernmost part to the steel mills, who needed somewhere to dump slag. The slag created an ugly cliff which you'd happen upon as you drove through the park and came around a bend in the road. The eastern part of the park was still there in the early 1960's, but then the whole valley was filled in, covering over a part of Cleveland's past.
In 1888, Beyerle's Park was the site of some major league baseball game.[1]
