Metroparks Toledo gives update on riverfront projects
A year after the grand opening of Glass City Metropark, the western shore of the Maumee River has quickly become off limits for anyone without a hard hat and a construction vest. “We are halfway through construction,” Jennifer Van Horn, chief of planning and chief construction officer for Metroparks Toledo, said during an open house at the site Thursday. Construction for the the next phase of the Metroparks’ $250 million master plan to revitalize the downtown area of Toledo is set to open to the public in the spring of 2026, but in the meantime the Metroparks hopes to keep a buzz around its continued project. “We were using our riverfront in some of the worst ways possible,” Dave Zenk, executive director of Metroparks Toledo, said about the downtown area before the plan, drafted in 2018, was implemented.

Pirates Assigned to Findlay Division V Girls Soccer District
Possible road trips!! — Those of you who expected major changes with the expansion of Girls Soccer from 3 Divisions to 5 Divisions — Northwest Ohio delivered! First Division 1 has 3 teams so 1 team can advance to Regionals with one win. Locally, Continental High joins PCL rivals Kalida and Miller City in a far ranging District. Pulling teams from 4 different districts in 2023 to make up the 2024 Findlay field shows how much change the plan took. Continental was #7 seed and Miller City was #3 at the Evergreen DIII District, Kalida was #2 seed at the DIII Ottoville District, Van Buren was #1 seed at the DIII Bluffton District, while NorthWood was #5 seed, Huron was #7 seed and Woodmore was #2 seed at the DIII Genoa District.
