The Flats Experience

Public Space

A Community Gathering Place

Flats East Bank will blend inspiring architecture and a rich urban industrial landscape with imaginative public spaces and a streetscape that focuses on a quality pedestrian experience.

The project incorporates a series of signature outdoor parks and plazas that activate the connection to the water's edge and create a convenient, inviting location to gather and live.

The East Bank will draw people to the waterfront with public amenities including:

  • A 1,200 foot riverfront boardwalk linking a series of public spaces
  • More than 10 acres of plush green space and open recreational fields
  • A 3-acre beach for lounging, sunbathing and sand volleyball
  • A market pavilion and public spaces for street fairs, arts festivals, farmers' markets and concerts
  • Physical and visual connections to the Cuyahoga River
  • Green building practices
  • Public art
  • Riverside docking
  • Access point to the Towpath Trail, a 100-mile-long stretch of the historic Ohio and Erie Canal Corridor used by three million pedestrians and bicyclists each year
