The Euclid Creek Reservation was built by the CCC in the 1930's and 1940's. The area around the park has been quarried in the past for bluestone, a bluish, grey sandstone. Bluestone is still visible along the creek bed. The narrow park has a very popular all purpose trail and many picnic areas for enjoying Euclid Creek.
