The management at Euclid Beach Park found a way out of integrating the dance pavilion and skating rink: the two facilities, by the next summer, had been leased to private clubs that were not bound by anti-discrimination laws. City authorities claimed that nothing could be done to fix this evasion of the City Council Ordinance passed only months earlier. The bathing facilities closed in 1951, supposedly due to pollution.  

Protesters did not return to Euclid Beach to challenge this subterfuge; black Clevelanders had moved on to tackling bigger issues like discrimination in the job market and the shortage of adequate housing in the city.
