It is an interesting (in a good way) venue for a concert - it's pretty large and there are different levels on which to sit (if you bring chairs or blankets). The stage was set up by the river and there was a large screen on a building at street level so everyone could enjoy the show if you didn't have a prize spot. We actually planted our chairs close to the stage, but were not able to see the acts well. The video screen was in perfect view though. The street level part of the park has extra seating and many people put their chairs and blankets down on the grass there. They weren't close to the stage, but again, the screen provided a great view of the show. There were some minor annoyances that I don't think were the venue's responsibilites (lack of porta potties and too few & underequipped food trucks). The event seemed well-organized at the gates and with beer & alcohol sales. Security was walking around assisting with seating (those who put chairs in walkways were politely told why they couldn't sit there). I would return for a concert. It was a fun time, being a beautiful night in downtown Toledo, with boats on the river.

This is a beautiful farm park we happened upon while driving through Ohio on I-80. We highly recommend a stop and walk. There's Hügelkultur gardening! Nigerian goats! Beautiful trails! A stream! There are even bees! The bees are kept in a delightfully colorful apiary. So cute. I posted a photo. The bees were happily buzzing away on the chilly Fall day at happened in. We also took a trail to walk to the creek bank. It's a small, easy stream. The view of it from the balcony near the restrooms was relaxing and peaceful. As a bonus, if you're traveling through on the Interstate, it's a short detour and the bathrooms are impeccably clean. The nature center wasn't open (not sure why), but we didn't care. It was such a delight to find such a beautifully kept park that we didn't need to go inside a building.

I'm always on a walking trail because yeah running long distance has never been for me. I take my fanny pack for my phone n keys and off I go. They are kind of back in style, right? Its a nice park and they are actually adding more trails. Recommended
