Originally incorporated by investors from Cleveland and patterned after New York's Coney Island, the park was managed by William R. Ryan Sr., who ran the park with featured attractions including vaudeville acts, concerts, gambling, a beer garden, and sideshows as well as a few early amusement rides.

Former management was faced with the loss of more than half their investment if they sold the land for building development.

[1] They expanded the beach and bathing facilities, including adding a lakeside swing and many new attractions.

[1] Signs throughout the park instructed that only children were permitted to wear shorts, because the Humphreys thought that proper dress would promote a family-friendly atmosphere.

[1] At one point, the park advertised that it would "present nothing that would demoralize or depress," and that visitors would "never be exposed to undesirable people",[3] in which they included African Americans.

[2] In August 1910, the park was the site of an exhibition flight by aviator Glenn Curtiss from Euclid Beach to Cedar Point and back.

In 1910, it was replaced by Philadelphia Toboggan Company Carousel Number 19, which had 58 horses and two chariots, decorated with leaf carvings surrounding a Greek god and two cherubs.

The chariots retained these classic designs when the carousel's other decorations were replaced with ones having an art deco motif.

[4] The plan envisioned a $6 million fundraising campaign to pay for the project, including the construction of a pavilion to house the restored ride, and provide an endowment to ensure its operation into the future.

The Carousel Works of Mansfield, Ohio was given the task of coming as close as possible to restoring the ride to its original appearance and function,[5] a process which was found to essentially require the remanufacturing of the ride because of damage said to have occurred during the transport of the components from Maine back to Cleveland.

[6] On Tuesday, April 17, 2012, the WRHS broke ground for the construction of a glass pavilion to house the restored and reassembled carousel.

Debuting in 1913 to much fanfare, it was featured in a Plain Dealer advertisement published on May 30, 1913, and survived until the close of the park in 1969.

Also built by Philadelphia Toboggan Company, the ride premiered in 1924 and survived until the park's closure.

Miller worked on the loading station, supporting structure, braking system and incline.

The first Flying Turns ride was built and operated at Lakeside Park in Dayton, Ohio.

By around 1915, Euclid Beach Park would only admit African Americans on certain days as part of its efforts to promote what its management saw as a family-friendly atmosphere.

On the other days, the park's special police enforcement team oversaw exclusion of blacks.

Riverview Park of Illinois shut down in 1967 due largely to operating and maintenance costs.

Many of the Kiddy Rides, such as the Euclid Beach Chief, were sent to Shady Lake Park in Streetsboro, Ohio.

[10] Many structures still standing on the Euclid Beach site after its closing, including the famous dance hall, were destroyed in a series of arson fires.

Next to the pier, of which the concrete portion is largely intact, sits an empty, circular cement pool which was once a ride.

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