About the Fort Huntington Park
Fort Huntington Park is a historic institution located in Cleveland, Ohio, United States. Originally dedicated in 1937 by the Early Settlers Association, the park was intended as a tribute to the original Fort Huntington. Over the years, the park fell into disrepair but was revitalized in 1977 with a complete restoration. Designed by Berj A. Shakarian, the park now features walkways, benches, a stage, and various plants.
Throughout the years, Fort Huntington Park has seen the addition of several new features, including statues of Jesse Owens and Commodore Perry. The park also houses the Greater Cleveland Peace Officers Memorial and the John T. Corrigan memorial, honoring heroes from different periods of Cleveland's history.
Today, Fort Huntington Park serves as a peaceful and commemorative space in the heart of Cleveland, celebrating the city's rich heritage and honoring its notable figures.

Reviews of Fort Huntington Park
"Nice place to walk your dog."
"Nice park in downtown Cleveland where my husband and I stopped to get street vendor food from a cart. Was nice to sit and enjoy our food and see some of the downtown buildings"
"From a brass plaque on a stone at the Lakeside Avenue edge of the park (not far from the Perry Memorial): "Fort Huntington Park is named for Samuel Huntington (1765-1817), Governor of Ohio (1808-1810) and member of the Huntington Family that founded the Huntington National Bank in 1866. He settled in Cleveland in 1801 and eventually held many political offices. After serving as Paymaster in the War of 1812, he retired to his farm in Painesville. Fort Huntington, erected in 1813, was named in his honor" There is also a stone locating Fort Huntington near this site erected by the Cleveland Commodore Perry Chapter of the U.S. Daughters of 1812. The park is dominated by the tall plinth with Com. Oliver Hazzard Perry and a pair of cabin boys on the sides. (This has its own Google Maps entry.) There is a captured British cannon from the Battle of Lake Erie. There is a statue to 1936 Olympic (four) gold medalist, Jesse Owens by the sculptor William McVey. (The same artist created the half statue (thighs up?) of the poet, Hart Crane, in University Circle). (This has its own Google Maps entry) In the North East corner is Greater Cleveland Peace Officers Memorial Society Park. (This has its own Google Maps entry.) There is also a plaza and statue of Cuyahoga County Prosecutor (1957-1991), John T. Corrigan. "He served an unprecedented 35 years as the chief law enforcement officer for Cuyahoga County.""
"Great park to get teargassed in while providing aide to injuries."
"Fun afternoon walk with lots to see! Beautiful old trees and soft green grass makes a perfect relaxation or destressing zone and a great place to take a picnic lunch on your work break! Very historic area, great learning experience for kids of any age! Honor those who gave some and thank God for those who gave all!"
