The City of Perrysburg has a well-

thought out zoning plan that seeks to

protect and enhance the Riverfront

with lower density residential

uses coupled with open space,

agricultural and parkland uses.

Upper Terrace- sidewalk arcs out toward the river to create an area for benches with remarkable vistas of the river. Retaining walls are employed to permit organized grade transistions. Relocate the cannons and the memorial marker to this terrace.

Sloping Path Traverse- Create a linked series of paths that slope gently from one viewing terrace to another in a gracious transition from Front Street down to the river. Barrier free path at 5% accommodates all users without the visual clutter of railings or other fall protection.

Trail connects to the waterfront marina

Potential terraced seating accommodates larger events

Potential relocation of theCivil War Monument

Alternate relocation of theCivil War Monument

The Lawn Ellipse- Large maintained lawn area provides a warm weather “beach” on the river as well as a performance venue. Picnicking and sunning are encouraged. A movable stage with portable tensile shade structure serves as a summer performance venue. Concert-goer’s bring chairs to smaller performance events, take off their shoes and feel the cool grass on their toes as they listen to a concert. Theatrical lighting and sound enhancement is positioned upslope. In Winter, the lawn base allows for construction of a skating rink. Lighting and music enliven the space for nighttime skates and/or icesculpture venues.

Trail connects to parkland to the west and Fort Meigs

Intermediate plazas for viewing and seating

Reforestation areas provide slope stability, habitat and buffering from adjacent homes while shaping and directing views to the river.

How to t raverse the s teep r i ver bank?The approximate vertical transition from Front Street down to the level area near the river is 40’ (elev. 630 to elev. 590).

A straight diagonal traverse across the park property is about 700 lineal feet- too short a distance to provide the desired barrier free route at 5% slope.

In order to achieve a 5% slope, 800 lineal feet of run is required. One option is to create a single switchback to create a sufficiently long path.Another option is to switch the path back and forth several times and possibly integrate it with new site features into an elegant traverse. Stairs can also be incorporated into this approach.

CONCEPTThe new Riverside Park is a “Terracing

Park” that mixes passive and active

interests with a sustainable overlay into an

elegant transition from Front Street down

to the Maumee River. This all-season,

accessible park provides a high-visibility

“front porch” for the community while

providing connections to other parks,

historical spaces and natural areas up,

down, and across the river.

The program includes:Traversing, accessible paths

Overlooks with seating and historical

monuments

Intermediate Terraces with seating

Hood Park + MarinaConcept DiagramHood Park offers Perrysburg a

significant opportunity to strengthen

the connection between the

downtown and the riverfront.

Currently, landforms and vegetation

obscure much of the river vista

from the foot of Louisiana Street.

Passersby driving on Front Street

have little sense of the waterfront of

Hood Park. The slope of the access

road is steep, limiting pedestrian

use. Few programmed activities

provide attraction to this space.

The Master Plan recommends

enhancements that provide both

visual and physical access to the

river by creating an engaging open

space that can serve as a “living

room” for connecting to downtown.

The plan recommends an approach

that makes Front Street look and

feel like a plaza space that is part of

the park. This approach engages

passersby inside the park which

creates a heightened awareness

of the connectedness of the

downtown to the riverfront. Similarly,

these types of treatments allow for

a great space for festivals and other

programmed events where Front

Street may be temporarily closed to

traffic.

The plan also recommends the

introduction of a new building that

hugs the western edge of the park

and steps down the slope. This
