WILDWOOD PRESERVE METROPARK REVIEWS
This is by far one of my favorite metroparks in Toledo. Plenty of different trails, picnic areas, and things to do. The property is well kept and the paths were clean. The paved walkways make it easy for our 4 legged friends to navigate the park. If you're looking to get out and get away for a bit, this is a great spot to stop by and clear your head.
This is truly a beautiful park! So much wild life, and walking trails all maped out four your convenience. Dog friendly, and wonderful playground for the kids. Picnic areas. Take a walk on the board walk! Christmas at the manor house is wonderful! Hike year round, so peaceful.
Plenty of parking. Beautiful property, lots of trails! One main updated play area. Check out the Manor House.

SWAN CREEK PRESERVE METROPARK REVIEWS
Gorgeous little park. Stopped for a picnic and a quick play at the playground. The equipment was great, but probably more geared towards 5-12 ages. Our 3-year-old wasn't quite coordinated enough for most of it. Bathrooms were clean, as was the park. Great spot for an outdoor family outing.
I love this park. I am starting my walking journey. Trying to get more exercise. I was scared to walk in the woods alone but this park makes me comfortable. There is a lot of people on the trail so I don't feel alone and the park employees come around frequently. The trail is Clean and well kept
It’s been a few years since I visited Swan Creek, and I was not disappointed. Walking to the Swing Bridge was an adventure —- there are numerous trails leading to this magical space. The playground is perfect for children to play and enjoy challenges without realizing that they are being challenged. Also the picnic areas and shelters are welcoming for lunch, dinner or just to sit and read a good book.

OAK OPENINGS PRESERVE METROPARK TRAIL REVIEWS
Awesome find while out Ohio road tripping. Wish I would of had time to explore more of the park. The pond by the Buehner Center was awesome. A little man man waterfall and several picnic shelters. Nice, clean restroom facilities located there. The pond or lake is catch and release. Would like to make it back sometime again. As it was, they closed at dark, and we had about an hour to enjoy ourselves. I got some beautiful shots to share with you. I just can't get that healthy, crisp forest air to download properly for you to benefit from.
One of the best biking trails in the area with the connection to the Wabash Cannonball trail which goes for many miles! Even on a 70 degrees fall weekend it wasn’t too busy. Was nice to note that the trail in the park itself was recently repaved, very nice surprise. Was such a relaxing and beautiful bike ride among natural surroundings!
Oak openings is my family's favorite metro park in the Toledo area. The playground is amazing. They also have many different options for picnics or events. The woods are big enough to get lost in.
