Commissioner of Parks Dennis Garvin, City Councilman Steve Steel and Executive Director of Woodberry Park Chess Warren Woodberry have banded together to bring a slice of New York culture to Toledo by installing six chess tables in the picnic tables at Levis Square in downtown Toledo. Anyone is welcome to bring their own pieces and sit down for an afternoon of calculated battle—bring a friend or wait for a challenger. Woodberry eventually plans on expanding the tables to other city parks like Walbridge and Ottawa Park and will also set up tables at the Red, White and Kaboom event at Promenade Park on Friday, July 4.
If your organization is interested in hosting an event utilizing the tables, contact Warren Woodbury at [email protected].
