Close Park

A Hidden Nearby Park

Located in Toledo's Point Place area, Close Park is one of those wonderful local spots that feels like the community's backyard. This peaceful green space offers a welcome break from the urban bustle, giving neighbors a place to unwind and connect with nature without venturing far from home.

What makes this park stand out? Its distinctive round shape certainly adds character - like a green oasis in the middle of the neighborhood. A paved walkway cuts through the center, with sidewalks wrapping the perimeter, ideal for those morning jogs or evening strolls after a long day.

What You'll Find Here

Kids will enjoy the well-maintained playground, complete with swings and a climbing wall that's popular with the younger crowd. The play equipment provides plenty of options for active children.

Baseball fans haven't been forgotten - a baseball diamond awaits casual games, with wooden benches where teammates can catch their breath between innings. Around the park, you can find wooden and metal benches strategically placed for relaxing and people-watching.

For family get-togethers, the park offers picnic tables and a charcoal grill. It's nice to enjoy a meal under the shade of the park's abundant trees, with grassy areas where kids can play afterward.

Don't miss the colorful art installation that brightens the center of the park, adding a touch of whimsy to this neighborhood space.

Getting Around

Getting here is hassle-free with a dedicated parking area offering 31 spots. If that's full (which happens during popular times), the surrounding streets provide additional parking options.

And yes, your four-legged friends are welcome! Many locals make this their go-to spot for daily dog walks, adding to the park's friendly atmosphere.

Far From Just a Park

Situated directly across from Most Blessed Sacrament Parish, Close Park naturally represents a gathering space where community and faith intersect.

The annual Halloween parade is a notable event co-hosted by Close Park and Most Blessed Sacrament Parish that brings neighbors together.

This seasonal event is one way the park functions as a social space for the surrounding neighborhood.
