Confirmed from Ottawa Park's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
Expansive city park known for its recreational facilities, including an ice rink & open-air theater.
What runners say about Ottawa Park
“I drove through the park and found stunning views and nature which I have captured in the provided photos.”
“Greens were nice, as well as fairways, love the hills, and young deer running around.”
Ottawa Park in Toledo has its own class and Charm during the winter season. I drove through the park and found stunning views and nature which I have captured in the provided photos. This is a great photo place along with a huge golf course and running trails.
I don’t know why I haven’t left a review on this place yet. This is One of my favorite quick parks to go to for a jog, walk or just chill. I’ve been coming here since I was a kid. Now I bring our children here.
We ate a great lunch in the park, at a picnic table. We just drove down Ottawa Dr until we saw the first picnic table available. It was great considering the today was a little cold. Then we did a driving tour of the rest of the park. It's wow, we will have to come back here! There are picnic tables everywhere.
Great staff, drink cart left kind of early. Greens were nice, as well as fairways, love the hills, and young deer running around. Love this coarse because I'm not a long hitter, if you are just hit from blue tees.
