About Columbia Park
The melody of water cascading from a 40-foot tall shale bluff, pooling at the bottom, and then flowing into Lake Erie is a predominant feature of the city of Bay Village’s 1.6-acre Columbia Park.

This quaint access site is north of US-6 (Lake Road) at the northwest corner of the Columbia Road (OH-252) intersection. Parking is available on the south side of Lake Road in a small lot west of Columbia Road.

From the sidewalk, a paved walkway leads through the center of a mowed-grass green space to a steep bluff face topped by a concrete platform. The platform is surrounded by a green chain-link safety fence. To the west, an observation deck overlooks a small creek. At the base of the bluff (and waterfall), this Lake Erie tributary crosses a 15-foot wide beach – a mixture of glacial till, shale stones, sand, and shell fragments.

The beach is accessible by traversing 67 concrete steps with another observation platform four feet above the beach near the base of the steps. Signage at the park notes that the beach is not guarded and the water may be contaminated after rain events. A bike rack and trash cans are in the upper park area. Columbia Park closes at dusk.
