  This was the fourth section run of the Old Brooklyn neighborhood. The boundary for this run was Woburn Ave (north) to Biddulph Rd (south) and from W. 58th Street (west) to Pearl Road (east).

  This was the second run of the Old Brooklyn neighborhood. It featured the sub-neighborhood of Brookside. This was a large section so I broke it up into two runs. The boundary for the combined run included Ridgeview Road (north) to Memphis Ave (south) and from Ridge Road (west) to Fulton Parkway (east). Notable locations included: Brookside Reservation : Per the Cleveland Metroparks: "Brookside Reservation was one of the City of Cleveland's oldest neighborhood parks before its acquisition by Cleveland Metroparks in 1993. The land was purchased in 1894 and has been a center for recreation since the early 1900s. Still a recreation hub, the area now boasts baseball and soccer/football fields. The 132-acre reservation serves as a refuge for diverse wildlife in an urban setting. It is also an attractive spot for area picnickers and a resting site for walkers, cyclists and others who use the All Purpose Trail. This reservation connects to Cleveland Metroparks Zoo." Estabrook
