Downtown Toledo is about to be even more of a destination location as a portion of the prized riverfront becomes the city’s next Metropark. On September 17, the Glass City will celebrate the grand opening of Middlegrounds, the urban 28-acre parkland along the Maumee River. After a labor-intensive transformation, including removal of 1,000 tons of debris, the park is ready for visitors — whether meandering along the 1.5-mile path or capturing the view from wooden decks throughout. The event begins at 10am with a continental breakfast, followed by a tour of the grounds at noon and live musical entertainment from 6-11pm. The park opens for normal hours the following day. Grand opening dedication, Saturday, September 17.
