Perhaps the most famous of the remnants of Euclid Beach Park is the arched main gate.

This archway has been

declared a Cleveland landmark, and is now protected from demolition. The arch was severely damaged by a hit-
and-run driver in January 2007. On June 12, 2007, the rebuilt Arch was rededicated.
[15]

Today, the former entrance road into the park is E 159th St. The portion of the site not included in the State Park is
occupied by a trailer park, and the owners of the trailer park demolished the Humphrey Mansion in 2005. [16]

The Humphrey Company continues to sell the popcorn and taffy products made famous during the heyday of the
[17]

park.
The 2007 documentary Welcome Back Riders on YouTube featured Euclid Beach.
The 1960s TV series Route 66 used Euclid Beach Park as a filming location for the 1962 episode "Two on the
House," in which a 12-year-old boy who yearns to be with his workaholic development-engineer father spends a
day alone in the park.
In 1929 Nathan Weber accepted an internship working for Soeder's Dairy at their Euclid Beach Fresh Ice Cream
(later called Dairy Whip) concession. He liked it. His family got permission, from Soeder's, to open a "stand" as
[18]

long as certain criteria were met. In 1931, Weber's opened on Hilliard Rd. in Rocky River adding 5 new flavors to
[19]

the original Vanilla. Two of those criteria were that, "...the product never be cheapened and be made on the same
machines." The ice cream served by Weber's today is manufactured using the machines built in 1931 on special
order for the Weber family. [20]
