Brighton Park
Brighton Park is in Cleveland’s Old Brooklyn neighborhood along Big Creek. This site was transformed from the Henninger construction waste landfill into a new park. The site went through brownfield remediation, erosion control, water quality improvement, and invasive plant removal. Cleveland Metroparks designed and oversaw construction of a new all purpose trail which will eventually link Brookside Reservation to the Towpath Trail.
