urbanized lake plain<br />

Characterized by a relatively flat plain, the westernmost<br />

section of the county was easily developed and can be<br />

viewed as an expansion of Cleveland’s eastern suburbs into<br />

<strong>Lake</strong> County. The Chagrin River winds its way through the<br />

plain creating the district’s singular but dominant natural<br />

feature. The Urbanized <strong>Lake</strong> Plain includes the communities<br />

of Wickliffe, Willowick, Eastlake, <strong>Lake</strong>line, Timberlake and<br />

Willoughby. <strong>Lake</strong> <strong>Metroparks</strong> included in the district are:<br />

Chagrin River Park<br />

Gully Brook Park<br />

<strong>Lake</strong>front Lodge<br />

Parsons Gardens<br />

Pine Ridge Country Club<br />

Future Objectives<br />

Because of its highly urbanized character, the natural resource<br />

identity of the district is currently limited. The key to success<br />

in strengthening that identity in the future lies in extending<br />

Chagrin River Park by establishing links between riverfront<br />

parkland surrounding community parks and <strong>Lake</strong> Erie.<br />

Study nature,<br />

love nature,<br />

stay close to nature.<br />

It will never fail you.<br />
