Perrysburg has eleven city parks with Rotary Community Park as our newest city park. Parks in Perrysburg offer over 162.5 acres of green space within the city limits.
Bicentennial Park is a park tucked into a quiet neighborhood. There is a picnic pavilion located close to the playground. The crushed stone walking path surrounds the soccer field and baseball field. The complete circuit of the walking path is .5 miles.
Eisenhower Park is one of the tastiest park because it located next to Mr. Freeze, some of the best ice cream around. To burn off those calories, the kids can enjoy the playground.
Hood Park is located along the Maumee River at the end of Louisiana Avenue. It has the statue of Commodore Oliver Hazard Perry, the city's namesake. Also, located along the river is Louisiana Boat Dock.
Milstone Park is a quiet park that is accessible by foot. It is a historic location that commemorates one of the first roads through the Great Black Swamp.
Municipal Park is the home of summer recreation programs including the city pool. The city pool has a zero depth area, water slide, diving boards and grassy area around the pool with lounge chairs. Other amenities in this park include five baseball fields (two lighted), four lighted tennis courts, one lighted full size basketball court and a walking/bike path that runs the length of the park. The playground is located adjacent to the tennis courts. The summer recreation program office is located at Municipal Park from June through August.
Orleans Park is the hot spot during the annual walleye run. This area boasts some of the best walleye fishing in the Great Lakes area. This park is a natural setting along the banks of the Maumee River and is located close to Fort Meigs State Memorial. The paved walking/bike path runs from the parking lot under the Maumee River bridge for safe pedestrian/bike accesss to Fort Meigs.Canoe storage racks are available. For details, click here.
Rivercrest Park is the premier location for team sports with six soccer fields and four baseball fields (one lighted) with two batting cages for the baseball program. A walking path runs the perimeter of the park. The paved walking path distances vary from .5 miles (red trail) to .9 miles (blue trail). In the winter, this park is a favorite location for sledding. There is a playground adjacent to the shelter house. The shelter house is available for rental.
Riverside Park offers spectacular views of the Maumee River and is a prime location for viewing the July 4th Fireworks.
Construction of Rotary Community Park began in the fall of 2009 with the planting of 58 trees as part of the mini-arboretum and the installation of parking. In 2010, a Rain Garden was installed on the Fort Meigs Road entrance with grant funding from Wal-Mart.This park will be developed in five phases. The park is designed for the younger Perrysburg residents. The walking trail was completed in fall of 2011. The crushed stone walking path is .7 mile in length for the entire circuit of the park. Five tennis courts were added to the park in June 2012. Perrysburg Garden Club planted the entrance boulevard and three flagpoles were installed in 2012.
Future plans for this park include: a shelter house, three basketball courts, baseball field and six smaller size soccer fields that can also be utilized as three regulation soccer fields. The last phase is the construction of a splash pool.
Three Meadows Park is visible from I-75 and has two ponds. The large pond is stocked with native species for the annual Fishing Derby in June. This park has a playground next to the shelter house by the small pond. The shelter house is available for rental.
Woodlands Park is home to Fort Imagination. This playground was a community project that was the result of fund raising and construction by the Perrysburg Playground Project. This park is designed for passive recreation with walking trails and many flower gardens. The crushed stone walking path is one (1) mile in length for a complete circuit. Covered picnic tables line the walking path and there is a shelter house which is available for rental. There is also a picnic pavilion available for use on an unscheduled basis.
