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.
