Location: Parkside Drive and Beach Cliff Blvd. intersection, Rocky River, OH Latitude: N 41° 28.93’ Longitude: W 081° 52.07’ Waterbody: Lake Erie Access Site Type: Recreational Environments: Riparian/River Sandy Beach Monitoring: - Research: - Grants: -	The 6-acre Rocky River Park is located north of Beach Cliff Boulevard with parking access off Parkside Drive. In 2006, the park underwent $100,000 in improvements including erosion control measures, thus creating a terrace and amphitheater effect. Along the park’s east side, a handicap accessible paved walkway is separated by a green chain-link safety fence from a low, steep, vegetated bluff at the back of the beach. The walkway leads to a 180-foot pier marking the park’s eastern edge. The park has a 475-foot sand beach fronted by a breakwater; however, swimming, wading, fishing, boat launching and climbing on the erosion control structure are prohibited per city regulation. The graded, grass-covered bluff on the park’s west side is separated from the beach by a concrete block seawall. Park amenities include picnic facilities, playground equipment and benches offering Lake Erie views. The park is open from 6 am to sunset. During summer months, Rocky River Park is home to the Sunset Concert Series.	Location Map: Select for interactive map viewer of Ohio's Lake Erie Public Access sites Amenities and Services:
