Gateway
Stately stone walls with tall piers frame the entrance to the park. Installed in 1929, this gateway reflects the formal approach taken in the design of the park by Albert D. Taylor, a Cleveland-based landscape architect of national stature. This hilltop park was given to the Park Board in 1916 as a memorial to Frederick H. Alms by his wife. The land was once owned by Nicholas Longworth, who produced his famous Catawba wine there before the Civil War. The entrance to his underground wine cellar can still be seen to the northeast of the pavilion. The park also offers a concrete slide and terraced overlooks. (For more about Taylor, see appendix.)
