Welcome to the Toledo Riverfront

Nestled along the Maumee River, the Glass City Riverwalk has rapidly become the region's top social and recreational destination, drawing over 600,000 visitors in 2023.

And the transformation has only just begun

With nearly 80 acres already restored and accessible, and an additional 220 acres of riverfront green space under development, we continue building towards connecting six neighborhoods and creating a diverse array of recreational opportunities along the Maumee River.

The Vision & Future Path

With another 220 acres of riverfront green space in development, Metroparks plan is to invest in public spaces where our residents can gather to build life-long connections to each other and nature. There will be more than 5 miles of new mixed-use trails and paths to connect communities on both sides of the river. Learn about The Vision, and see what's coming next to the Glass City Riverwalk.
