Cain Park
Cain Park is one of the oldest municipally owned arts parks in the United States featuring the Evans Amphitheater, Alma Theater, Feinberg Art Gallery, and the Cain Park Arts Festival. Featuring state-of-art sound systems, an array of seating options, and over 900 parking spaces within walking distance of the park, Cain Park welcomes the community to enjoy a wide variety of performance and visual arts with both professional and youth theater seasons, touring concerts, festivals, and free events. We are thrilled to partner with the Local 4 Music Fund to create the Local 4 Music Series, a set of free concerts that are being hosted at the park throughout the season.
Cain Park is proudly owned and operated by the City of Cleveland Heights.

In December 2004, Cleveland Magazine named Cain Park as one of its “19 Reasons to Cross the River”:
“There’s nothing quite like Cain Park west of the river. During its summer-long season, you can sit in the airy, intimate Evans Amphitheater or, better yet, recline on your own blanket on the grassy slope that climbs gently upward from the theater while you watch local dance troupes cavort and leap or lose yourself in live concerts of folk, jazz, klezmer, blues, bluegrass, Latin and a little bit of everything else by local and national acts. Cain Park also features 22 acres of bike and jogging paths, tennis and basketball courts, a playground, a skate park and picnic tables and pavilions – but it’s eclectic music under the stars that really makes it unique.”
