Cleveland’s Edgewater Park, an urban radio site in northeast Ohio, is somewhat unlike other urban sites for the fact most of the city’s local stations lie inland, away from the water. This allows for lower-lying marine air to sweep in off Lake Erie without distant signals suffering a severe impact from local stations as they would if these stations were broadcasting from downtown, just two miles to the east. Furthermore, similar to Milwaukee, although to a lesser degree, Edgewater Park consists of a sloping hill right beside the water, which can be used to further weaken locals and enhance distant signals from across the water. Two scans were performed here under differing weather conditions on the Labor Day holiday weekend, one from the west end of the park on a hillside and the other from the east at lake level the following day.
Common reception along Cleveland’s lakefront include Detroit and Toledo stations (90 miles to the west and northwest), Erie (95 miles to the northeast), Buffalo (170 miles to the northeast), London (100 miles to the north), and Toronto area stations (160-200 miles to the northeast). On the inland side, Youngstown and Pittsburgh can be heard, with good tropospheric conditions bringing in Columbus to the southwest, which was the case on the first day. London and Detroit stations can be heard especially strong, even while driving amongst the skyscrapers in downtown Cleveland. While it was easy to write Cleveland off for many years as one of those urban areas to avoid at all costs, it was very much a location worth listening in!

Recommendations for this radio site: Edgewater Park is split into two sections: Edgewater Park on the east side, which has a beach, pier, and a large parking lot, and Upper Edgewater Park on the west side, which includes a popular Cleveland sign with skyline views across the water along with a small overlook parking area beside the water. Because Upper Edgewater Park is at a higher elevation – about 50 feet higher than the east end of the park – this is obviously the much better option for tuning the dial. Parking on this side is harder to come by than the main section of the park, but don’t let the small lots fool you; there are four different parking lots here, so if one is full, simply move on to another. In addition, parking here is free and not time-limited. Toilets are available at the park, as well as grills, picnic tables, and shelters with plenty of walking paths.
The obvious disadvantages apply at this site as well. Because Cleveland is a large city and this park is beside the water and just two miles outside downtown, you will encounter plenty of people. There are spots to somewhat avoid people, but do not expect any level of privacy here. I was questioned by a curious onlooker as many others watched me as they walked or ran by on a nearby path, but the signals coming in paired with the beautiful skyline view and parasailers nearby made it worthwhile.
To get there: from downtown, for the main part of the park, take Ohio Route 2 (paired with US-6 and US-20) west to the 73rd Street exit, taking a right at the end of the ramp. For Upper Edgewater, take the Lake Ave./West Blvd. exit (one exit after 73rd Street), taking a right at the end of the ramp, which leads directly into the park. From the west, take the 117th St. exit from I-90, go north 1.4 miles to Route 2/6/20, heading east for just under a mile to West Street, then taking a left into the park. For the main park, continue one more mile to the W. 73rd Street exit, taking a left at the end of the ramp then continuing on parallel to the parkway, taking another left at the first light, following a directional sign to Edgewater Beach.
Location rating: This radio site is in an urban environment close to hotels, tourist attractions, and smack in the middle of a large public park with its own tourist sites. Admission is free, parking is free, the view is spectacular, and unlike what one would expect, reception is decent with Toronto and beyond heard on both days. While local stations do crowd the dial as is the case in most large cities, their impact is more minimal than expected and it’s still possible to hear impressive signals despite their presence. For these reasons, Cleveland isn’t the urban radio wasteland you may expect. Even if you take a listen and the reception isn’t quite what you’re looking for, you still have a whole city to explore with downtown less than a 10-minute drive away.
