The park is situated on land that historically served as heavy industrial waterfront before being repurposed for public recreation.
The site is a major segment of the Glass City River Wall project, featuring large-scale murals on nearby industrial infrastructure.
The park's volleyball courts are among the largest concentrations of public courts in the city.
It is connected to the Glass City Metropark via a continuous non-motorized trail system along the riverbank.
The park offers one of the few unobstructed, direct perspectives of the Anthony Wayne Bridge.
International Park is an 83-acre recreational space located on the east bank of the Maumee River in Toledo, Ohio. The park serves as a primary hub for the city's waterfront trail network, connecting directly to the Glass City Metropark. It features significant frontage along the Maumee River, providing panoramic views of the downtown Toledo skyline. The grounds include dedicated athletic facilities, including sand volleyball courts and open green spaces. It serves as a frequent host site for community festivals, charity runs, and seasonal events. The site is characterized by its linear layout following the riverbank path, which is part of the regional Rails-to-Trails system. The park provides access to the river's edge, though swimming is not a designated activity. It functions primarily as a public corridor for walking, cycling, and outdoor recreation.
