SUMMARY:Parker Sailing Center Opens at East 55th Street Marina
DESCRIPTION:\nTue 6/23 @ 11AM\nThere’s been construction going on at the 
 East 55th Street Marina since last year in the spot where the restaurant u
 sed to be. Today it will unveil the results when the Patrick S. Parker Sai
 ling Center official opening its doors with a public dedication on Tuesday
  June 23 @ 11am. (The new restaurant\, the Galley\, is already open.)\nWhi
 le Lake Erie has always been popular for sailing\, with boats packing its 
 water all summer long\, the Cleveland Metroparks’ Community Sailing Cent
 er is the first of its kind along the lake’s Ohio shore\, offering publi
 c access to what’s often considered a pastime for the affluent.\nThe Com
 munity Sailing Center offers learning and rental spaces\, indoor and outdo
 or community areas\, and the Charlie Britton Sailing School\, with public 
 programs making sailing accessible to people who haven’t been able to ta
 ke part in the past due to economic challenges. “Despite being situated 
 along a major river and a great lake\, many Cleveland residents have never
  experienced direct water-based recreation as the vast majority of Lake Er
 ie’s shoreline within Cuyahoga County is privately owned with no public 
 access\,” says the Cleveland Metroparks’ press release\, and that’s 
 certainly true: people who live in the area around the marina spend a lot 
 of time fishing there\, but most have probably never been out on the lake.
  It’s a first step in making that recreational resource more open to eas
 t siders.\nThe Sailing Center will host programming such as Youth Learn-to
 -Sail\, Youth Learn-to-Race\, Interscholastic Racing\, Adult Basic Series\
 , Community Dinghy Race Nights\, and Family Sailing Basics\, as well as Oh
 io Boating Safety and Education Classes and Water Safety Certifications le
 ssons for local youth\, sponsored by The Foundry. Learn more about the Sai
 ling Center and its programs here.\npatrick-s-parker-community-sailing-cen
