Wendy Park

Wendy Park is a 22-acre Cleveland Metroparks lakefront park on Whiskey Island. More than 260 bird species have been spotted there, and the 500-foot Wendy Park Bridge links it to the mainland. Its landmark is the white former Coast Guard station designed by J. Milton Dyer, which opened in 1940. The Coast Guard left in 1976, the City of Cleveland bought the station for $1 in 2003, Cuyahoga County bought the surrounding land in 2004 and opened the park in 2005, and the Metroparks bought Whiskey Island in 2014.
