East Denison Elementary School

From Brooklyn Centre Wiki

Revision as of 16:07, 21 April 2007

Location: West 17th and Denison Avenue, Cleveland, Ohio

The playground behind the school is gone now but at one time had two baseball fields, two swing sets (for older kids), a tall sliding board, monkeybars, and other amusements. A second playground was aimed at the smaller children with a smaller sliding board, swing set, a small concrete tunnel, and a wading pool and fountain. Most of that is gone now since the elementary school closed down. What most people don't know is that the playground sits on top of what was once a deep ravine. The ravine ran from West 25th St. all the way down to Jennings Avenue. The whole ravine area, even though now filled in, has never had any construction on it. Is the ground considered unstable?
