Horseshoe Lake Master Plan
For Recreational Development

In November of 2004 Shaker Heights held a public meeting to present the Horseshoe Lake Master Plan and Map. Horseshoe Lake improvements were suggested for the historic area, which includes the beach and former wading pool, the play area, and the picnic area.

Suggested improvements (not reflected in the master plan on the Shaker Heights website) also include:

Boating concession and terrace
Four covered pavilions
Enlarged parking area
Boardwalk over the marsh
Ice rink and concession
Bandstand
Children's play area


If you are concerned and/or want to help with the proposed recreational plan and development of Horseshoe Lake please send your comments to the Mayor of Shaker Heights, Shaker Heights Council Members, and the Shaker Heights Planning Commission:
