The new Glass City riverfront park in Toledo, Ohio, will soon begin work on its new Riverwalk. Metroparks Toledo has purchased 5.9 acres of prime Maumee River frontage for $1.8 million, according to Toledo Blade.
The Glass City Riverwalk will transform the riverfront with 300 acres of new and revitalized riverfront greenspace connected by five miles of multi-use trails spanning both sides of the Maumee River, from Veteran’s Glass City Skyway to the Anthony Wayne Bridge.
The transformation will restore more than 90 acres of industrial or vacant land to natural space by planting thousands of new trees, creating wetlands and other sustainable features. The plan for the future park includes waterfront access for boating and kayaking, a rock-climbing area, interactive water attractions, urban camping and winter skating.
