Ottawa County’s First New Park Opens | Toledo News

Ottawa County’s first-ever park, Islander Woods and Trailhead, is set to open July 24th — a stunning 7.6-acre oasis featuring a nature play zone, a boardwalk trail circling Bob’s Pond (named after apple-loving landowner Robert Royce Johnson), and fishing access. Designed to blend nature protection with public enjoyment, the park also includes a future wildlife observation deck and is packed with native plants to support local wildlife like wood ducks and swamp rose mallow. This milestone for the Park District — which gained momentum after a 2017 grant and a 2020 levy — follows the recent opening of West Harbor Preserve and reflects a deep commitment to ecological restoration and community connection. Open year-round from sunrise to sunset, it’s a must-visit for nature lovers and families alike. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
