Separated from Downtown Toledo by the Maumee River and bordering Lake Erie, Oregon is a picturesque suburb with terrific water views and beautiful parks. Pearson Metropark, located in the heart of Oregon, covers 624 acres and protects what's left of the Great Black Swamp, a forest that once covered most of Northwest Ohio. The park also features fishing areas, a playground, ball fields, tennis courts, and areas for ice skating and sledding. The historic Johlin Cabin, a cabin built in the 1800s, is also located in the park. On Lake Erie, Maumee Bay State Park covers 1,336 acres and provides a lodge, cottages, a golf course, and a beach. Activities in the park include camping, boating fishing, golfing, swimming, hiking, and biking.
While life in Toledo revolves around the lakes, river, and parks, the city also offers a strong economy for those who prefer to live, work, and play in the same city.
