Irishtown Bend, is a long-vacant hillside overlooking the Cuyahoga River and the downtown skyline, named for a bustling 19th-century Irish immigrant community that seems to have vanished without a trace. By 2027, however, a 5-acre heritage site could rise over the buried archaeological remains of a once crowded riverside neighborhood. The heritage project is part of the latest plans for a new, $40 million, 25-acre park on a sloping riverbank.
