I live in Cleveland, Ohio and I have been walking by a labyrinth for a few years and I did not even know it. It is at the St. Wendelin Parish in the Tremont neighborhood. It is not apparent there is a labyrinth there from the street, but I am glad I found it ! Let’s look at what you’ll find there !
St. Wendelin Parish Labyrinth
Location:
2281 Columbus Rd, Cleveland, OH 44113
How to get there: I got there on foot, but if you take the bus, the stop is on 25th and Monroe (Stop ID: 08251) taking the 51/51A, 2 stops before or after the Westside Market depending on your travel direction. It is also near the W25th-Ohio City train station.
From the street you will see the school, parish and church with the entrance obvious:
St. Wendelin Parish entrance
Make your way behind the parish building. In the photo above there will be a walkway to the right behind the flag pool. You’ll find the walkway below leads behind the building to the garden/labyrinth area.
On the building you’ll find a plaque telling you about the labyrinth and prayer garden. And of course the reason you visit, the labyrinth, made of pavers, a 5 circuit. At the back of the labyrinth garden is a statue of St. Wendelin. The setting is quiet and peaceful and easy to find.
There are also a few benches in the garden if you want to take a break and pray/meditate. If you are not from the area, make sure to stop by the West Side Market, just down the street and visit the shops and bars along W25th.
If you are ever in Asia here are some other mazes and labyrinths I visited:
