A couple miles south of downtown Cleveland is the North Broadway neighborhood, which started around the turn of the 20th century as a mainly industrial area. While some industrial buildings remain, the area has become a primarily residential community. It’s filled with houses that date to the neighborhood's beginning. North Broadway is also trying to improve life, especially for its younger people, by offering programs to keep them on the right path. The neighborhood, while getting a 6 overall score on the CAP Crime Index, receives higher numbers on a couple of violent crime categories.
Help for youth
A couple of organizations are working in North Broadway to help the neighborhood youth by mentoring them and helping them become well-rounded people. The first organization, Boys & Girls Clubs of Northeast Ohio, has provided a safe after-school space for Cleveland’s children for over 70 years. These clubs offer mentorship and homework help, the opportunity to learn healthy lifestyles, various after-school programs and extracurricular amenities such as gymnasiums and playgrounds. The second organization, across the street from the Boys & Girls Club, is Beat the Streets Cleveland, which also provides homework help and mentoring. Still, the organization's focus is to help children develop sportsmanship, garner self-confidence, and improve critical thinking and goal setting through the sport of wrestling. Together, these two facilities are helping to improve the well-being of Cleveland’s future.
Beat the Streets Cleveland helps North Broadway kids develop sportsmanship and well-being.

Recreation outdoors
Whether it’s a walking path in the southern part of the neighborhood or various green spaces dotted throughout, recreation opportunities are plentiful, including Regent Park, which has a splash pad and is a cooling-off spot for kids during hot summer days; there’s also a couple of basketball courts, a baseball field and a playground. Barkwill Park is smaller, with two basketball courts, a small green space area and a playground. Morgana Run Trail used to be a railway corridor. Today, it’s a popular path for walkers, joggers and bikers. Adventurous trial-goers can venture south a few miles to view Mill Creek Falls at the trail's southern end. That’s the largest waterfall in Cuyahoga County. A different kind of recreation to observe or actively participate in is at Cleveland Velodrome, the area’s only track cycling facility. There are races to observe here, or take lessons and participate in a race.
Barkwill Park is a favorite of North Broadway children and has swings and basketball courts.
