Cleveland Cascade Renovation
A Measure DD Project
Project Description
 The
Cleveland Cascade is an historic hillside park and fountain located on
the shore of Lake Merritt. Its most
prominent feature was a fountain with a cascading series of pools
along side a stairway reaching from the Cleveland Heights district above to Lakeshore Avenue
below. The Cascade dates from the 1920s but its dramatic fountain
fell into disuse in the 1950s.
The Measure DD renovation project includes the historic stairway,
lighting, railings, and related concrete work. Restoration of the
fountain itself may be undertaken if a maintenance endowment can be
arranged.
Measure DD has worked in partnership with local volunteer efforts, which
have spearheaded the project.
