Paddle Ball Superelectric Sculpture: Cleveland Tourist Attraction Guide

Cool roadside attraction in Cleveland, OH. Was in the area for a vacation and specifically took a day to find some of these roadside wonders. This thing is huge, much larger than I expected and a convenient parking lot just behind it to stop and get a photo or two. Very well maintained.

Nice. A sculpture of a paddle that, once the rubber band and ball detached, became my mom's preferred delivery device for corporal punishment as a kid. And five blocks east of where we lived in the 1960s-1970s.

Someone should be embarrassed to have this be something that is a tourist opportunity. Unbelievable. The roads leading up to this thing can only be compared to what driving 🚗 on the moon 🌙 would feel like. The overlap of repaired pot holes 🕳 isn't for anyone who has hurt ribs . The mere stopping anywhere near this is not comfortable 😕. I understand a deteriorating neighborhood when I see 👀 one and why the city would have this in this place is exactly what is the problem. Do we want to have a family travel into our city and then experience the disappointment of what could be placed in a more up kept area? The area needs some paint and TLC because it is not getting it from the people who are living in it 😒 🙄. Enjoy the picture 📸 and stick to Edgewater Beach ⛱️,but not after a rain storm.

Immense paddle ball sculpture complete with a red rubber ball springing from the board! It is on Lake Avenue at the corner of Detroit Avenue. Best viewed from the Burger King parking lot. Enjoy the view ... then stop into Superelectric down the street on Detroit & West 65th and play a game of pinball. Watch for the next time they try to enter the Guiness Book of World Records for the largest group of people playing paddle ball ... they JUST fell short last try.

Just one of many oversized attractions
