One of Ohio’s top birding sites, Wendy Park’s 22 acres of green space on the edge of downtown Cleveland makes it a vital haven for wildlife.
Boasting a remarkable 260 species of birds recorded on site, birders, photographers and nature lovers are drawn to this dynamic landscape. Wendy Park offers crucial habitat for nesting and migratory animals–including extraordinary monarch butterflies in the fall. Wendy Park features a natural surface kayak launch.
