Elmhurst Park

Recreational Features

Spanning roughly 11 acres, Elmhurst Park has a variety of amenities in this quiet corner of Toledo.

The open grassy areas are meant for spreading out a picnic blanket or tossing around a frisbee on a sunny afternoon. While you won't find dedicated walking trails within the park boundaries, you can still enjoy a leisurely stroll around the grounds or venture onto the paved areas next to Elmhurst Elementary School for a more structured walk.

Location and Access

You'll come across this green space nestled right beside Elmhurst Elementary School, creating what feels like one continuous recreational area for the community. Look for the new sign that marks it as city property - it's pretty hard to miss!

The park doesn't have its own parking lot, but you can use the school's parking area when it's appropriate (just be mindful of school hours and events).

Children's Area

Kids will make a beeline for the playground area equipped with all the essentials for burning off energy and sparking imagination. The swingset is particularly popular, offering that simple childhood joy of soaring through the air that never seems to get old.

Athletic Facilities

Feel like getting active? Elmhurst offers several options. The tennis courts await your next rally or impromptu lesson.

Baseball enthusiasts can take advantage of the well-maintained baseball diamond, whether for organized team practices or casual family games. And if basketball is more your speed, the basketball courts provide an ideal venue to shoot some hoops or join a pickup game with neighbors.

Natural Environment

Mature trees dot the landscape, casting welcome patches of shade during Toledo's warmer months and adding natural beauty to the surroundings.

Wooden benches are thoughtfully placed near activity areas, offering perfect spots to catch your breath, watch the kids play, or simply enjoy a moment of quiet. Trash receptacles are conveniently located throughout, making it easy to do your part in keeping the park clean.

Management

The City of Toledo's Parks and Recreation Department maintains the grounds and facilities, ensuring this nearby park remains in good condition for everyone to enjoy.
