The main parking area is connected to the stadium by a pedestrian overpass crossing Ohio SR 91; there is limited parking on the stadium side of the road, consisting of staff, handicapped, and Gold Reserved parking. As it is, they get $5 to park in the city-owned lot across the highway.
The park itself bears a resemblance to Staten Island, at least as far as its configuration goes, although you don’t have the same kind of brickwork – and instead of additional stands along the sides, they have some outfield bleachers somewhat reminiscent of what got added in Brooklyn a few weeks into the Cyclones’ inaugural season. These, though, were part of the park from the start, placed in front of the park’s kiddie playground.
I would have been tempted to give Eastlake a few more points had its access been any better. At the very least, they could have built the pedestrian crossing to be ADA-compliant, so that fans didn't have to walk down to street level and then up to the concourse. It could also stand to be better lit.
