For Lakewood residents looking for something to do on their day off, Labor Day is the perfect time to visit the newly christened Bernice Pyke Park, a green space between Belle Avenue and St. Charles Avenue.

The new park is named for Bernice Pyke, a Lakewood resident and suffragette who broke glass ceilings in Northeast Ohio. Pyke lobbied for the 19th Amendment, which gave women the right to vote, and then spent part of her career in politics. Between 1918 and 1931, Pyke took on a variety of political roles. She served on the Lakewood Board of Education and was a member of the Cleveland mayor's cabinet, according to Ohio History Connection. She was Cleveland's welfare director from 1923 to 1933.
