Metroparks sailing center will bring new opportunities to the lakefront

Amanda Merrell a senior producer for News 5 Cleveland.

Donovan Jackson is a kid with a dream.“I just want to learn how, basically how a sailboat works,” he told News 5. He’d never been sailing before. We met him as he was about to set sail on his very first lesson. But this 14-year-old has big aspirations for his sailing future.“My mom had said she wanted to go out on a sailboat,” he said. “So, when I get older, I just want to try to build a boat for her and take her out.” Soon, Donovan will have all the tools he needs to make his dreams a reality.

Thanks to contributions from the Parker Hannifin Corporation, The Jack, Joseph and Morton Mandel Supporting Foundation, and The Cleveland Foundry, the new center will offer ample opportunity.There will be learning spaces; classes offered through The Cleveland Foundry, community areas, concessions, dining, stunning views of our lake, and yes, plenty of sailboats.“We see that sailing is a great way, not just to teach water safety but also to teach life skills,” McDermott said.
