2024 City of Euclid Ohio Recreation Guide

A Message from Our Recreation Director

Fellow Residents,

Thanks to you, Euclid Recreation has remained a vital part of our community. Some highlights of 2023 were the return of our Panther Hoops Basketball League after a four-year hiatus, the installation of a brand new scoreboard at CE Orr Ice Arena, Trunk or Treat, the Learn to Skate Showcase and Candy Cane Hunt, just to name a few. Our girls fastpitch softball and flag football leagues have been growing and continue to do so in 2024. This could not be achieved without the dedication of our volunteers and staff, along with the participation and support from all of you!

We look forward to the opening of Ralph V. Hill Memorial Pool and the Indian Hills Spray Park on June 3. Enough cannot be said about our aquatics staff, we are grateful for their flexibility, skill and hard work.

A special shout out to our service department for getting our facilities ready and keeping them in order. Last year they installed an energy saving touch pad at our Spray Park that will help it run more efficiently. If it’s not running when you visit, do not be alarmed. Simply step on the pad to activate and enjoy.

Good news for pickleball enthusiasts—more courts were added in Memorial Park last Fall. We are constantly looking to grow our tennis/ pickleball program, so if you are an instructor or know anyone who may be interested in working with us, please give me a call.

All of your old favorites will return this year: Panther Camp, skate lessons, Sunshine Yoga, 4X4 Soccer and much more. Follow us on Facebook for the latest news and updates.

Registration can be done conveniently online or in our office. We are looking forward to seeing all of you out and about.

Kindly,

Mac Stephens Recreation Director

Briardale Greens

Opened in 1977, Briardale Greens Golf Course offers the classic tests of tree lined fairways, well bunkered targets and large, undulating greens — the true stars of the course design.

The course rewards the good shot and provides an enjoyable round of golf for players at every skill level. Briardale Greens was designed by Richard LaConte with a course rating of 69.2 and a slope of 117. The course also offers a full practice facility with a driving range where players may hit from natural grass or artificial turf mats, a chipping green and a practice putting green.

COMPLIMENTARY RENTALS FOR BEGINNERS

We don't believe in letting a lack of clubs hold back beginners from playing. We are happy to provide a set of clubs for beginners to use with their paid round of golf!

Senior Programs

Senior citizens are often recognized for the numerous contributions they have made over the course of their lifetime. Many are retired and have been parents, grandparents and even great-grandparents. Getting older doesn’t mean they are done living or ready for the rocking chair.

Euclid Senior Programs is designed for senior citizens who want to be active and social. We offer a wide variety of classes, events, speakers, and happenings at the Lakefront Community Center. Please go online and view our monthly newsletter at www.cityofeuclid.com (click on city departments and seniors tabs). You will also find our monthly calendar. We offer arts and crafts, ballroom dance, Silver Sneakers fitness classes, and yoga. We have a hot lunch program, educational speakers, computer classes, pool tables, and so much more.  Membership is only $10 per year.

Please consider joining us for activities, or to volunteer. You are wanted here, you are needed here, and you are welcome here. Come visit us at “That great place by the Lake.”
