Engage with the Outdoors

At the Neighborhood Scale

Think. How could you do more of your typical activities outdoors? Find reasons to have potlucks, meetings, play days, or other events outside.
Plan. Get to know the parks and outdoor options in your region. Consider what the MetroParks, Olander Park, City of Toledo Parks, and other organizations have to offer in park space. Consult their activity calendars for special upcoming events.
Act. Walk, bike, run, kayak, canoe, rollerblade, etc. outside. Take advantage of public outdoor spaces. Consider hosting your next neighborhood meeting outside.
Maintain. Support programs that make it safer and more accessible to be in outdoor environments. Volunteer with your neighbors to clean up green spaces and pick up pollution along roadways.
Go Beyond.

Host gatherings at nearby parks.
Organize a vacant lot clean up days with your neighbors.
Join or create a neighborhood block-watch to increase outdoor safety.
Report broken streetlights to the City of Toledo.
Strengthen neighborhood groups to support and advocate for neighborhood-wide needs.
