Music and More: Come for a Concert– Discover a Destination
Perched on the shores of Lake Erie, Rocky River combines the best of city and suburb. Its 4.2 square miles encompass a mix of residential streets, inviting green spaces, waterfront attractions, walkable shopping districts, and nightlife destinations. There’s a wealth of trees big enough to shade a lawn, many small one-of-a kind stores and restaurants, new amenities like a skateboard park and indoor ice and soccer arena and landmark locations like the fishing pier and Bearden’s Restaurant that are imbued with memories for longtime locals.
For all its tangible assets, this city of about 20,000 has something harder to quantify but equally, if not more, important that contributes to the quality of life found here. It’s a combination of pride, spirit, citizen engagement, small town friendliness, and boosterism. It expresses itself in organizations such as the Parks and Recreation Foundation, the Chamber Music Society, the Seniors Council, a gardening club, and a summer’s worth of block parties. Call it community connectedness. You see it in action when the crowds gather for Friday night football games at the high school and Sunday sunset concerts in the amphitheater by the Lake.
Fondly referred to as River by those who know it and love it, this lovely and livable community is stable, sociable, and civic-minded a place. No wonder people are proud to call it home.
Rocky River is ideally situated north of the lake, east of the Cuyahoga River and just nine miles west of downtown Cleveland. This location attracted the first settler in 1808, fueled steady growth through the 20th century and continue to impact plans for what comes next.
