Toledo's Savage Park splash pad reopens
Smiles spread across the faces of about a dozen children as they played in the water of the Savage Park splash pad for the first time since the summer of 2023. The splash pad, which failed a health department inspection last spring, had been out of operation for the start of the 2024 season; Tuesday at noon it finally reopened. The city reported it had made “all of the necessary valve adjustments to the water system,” and the Toledo-Lucas County Health Department on Tuesday morning OK’d the opening. “It’s a great relief to see that the children in this community now can have a splash pad to go to, that’s workable, and they can cool off during the hot summer months,” said Earl Mack, a longtime resident of the neighborhood.

Perrysburg council unanimously approves housing development
Perrysburg schools’ growth issues will not be solved by stopping development in the city, according to one councilman. After a unanimous council vote at Tuesday’s meeting to allow a plan for 284 more residential units, Councilman Rick Rettig said city leaders are always mindful of what the school district is facing, but responsible development can still proceed in Perrysburg. “It’s certainly never my thought that solving the schools’ problem means we just stop all development. That is not the case,” he said. “I really feel like the city has a duty to continue to grow responsibly, but at the same way manage how that growth happens.” Council’s vote Tuesday was to approve a planned unit development on two parcels on the west side of Fort Meigs Road, south of Roachton Road and north of Five Point Road. The 78.8 acres are immediately north of the Coventry Pointe subdivision and are zoned R-3, single family residential.

Perrysburg schools getting clean school buses through federal funding
Perrysburg school district is expanding its fleet of school buses, but they won’t be fueled by diesel. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency recently awarded the school district $400,000 toward the purchase of 16 propane buses. These buses emit fewer emissions than the typical diesel-fueled school bus. “With the recent purchase of these buses, we will become a mostly propane bus district,” Perrysburg Superintendent Tom Hosler said. The school district was previously awarded funding in 2019 to purchase 12 propane buses and has added four more since. James Mapus, the executive director of operations for Perrysburg, said they are adding even more because of the impact on the community.
