Decent playground equipment and clean bathroom. There are lots of spots to sit or bbq and trails that are pretty smooth but not all are paved. There are trails that cut through so you can decide how far you want to go, and it forms a big circle pretty much. Right along the river or through the wooded area, you can go the long way around or cut through for a shorter route. Right by the river!

I must say this is probably my favorite Metro Park Ive ever been to. Its amazing how beautiful it is and how layered the land is. Several tiny waterfalls and there are beautiful bridges. Its got a lot of hills and stuff. Its not flat landed so its always interesting. And then if you explore, theres so many side trails along that Park especially at the river area with the playground. Also, if you keep driving down the River Road theres a bunch of amazing fishing spots and trails to explore. I must say Ive lived in Toledo my whole life but this is new to me so Im shocked.

This is a very nice park with trails along the Maumee River. Excellent backdrops for pictures. Walk along remnants of the tow path, canal, and locks that remain from the Miami-Erie Canal that ran from Cincinnati to Toledo (completed in1845). Great place for autumn sunset pictures along the river.

Always love going to sidecut. Its my favorite place to take my dog for a walk, and its her favorite place too! Its always clean and everyone is friendly. My recent trip everyone was respectfully social distancing and while fishing we caught some bluegill and catfish. I even took my wedding photos there because the scenery is gorgeous! Love love love this park!

I just love it there. Spencer (my dog) and i just love walking those trails. If it didnt get dark so early, wed still be walking.When the day comes when its Covid Free, well be talking to the other nature lovers walking by.

The most beautiful park ive ever seen! My family and I came here and walked around, my kids loved it. The water and trees are so beautiful. Such a peaceful place.

I enjoy the visit here solo to let stress melt off and take in the scenery. The only part I dont care for is the noise from the expressway. The times of season and day affect how busy the park is. I enjoy going when its less busy.

I liked it, but there were some issues. Its a pretty nice park, but the amount of goose droppings and feathers is unreal. The canal locks were definitely an interesting site, theyre pretty well preserved if you like to see history right in front of you. Brought our dog, he went into the silver lake for a few moments and came out smelling like he was the physical manifestation of goose poop, not a great car ride home. Theres many little old stone fireplaces and bridges that are cool to look at, being a history buff. Id suggest a visit, but bring bug spray because the forests are thick with them, trails arent super well kept, they could use some trimming. We did get to see a doe and fawn though, that was a treat.

Very nice metro park. You can walk along the river. There is childrens playground.

Nice little park! Really enjoyed spending time there today and happy to see so many puppies out.Some of the trails were a bit weird and didnt connect, but once we found the river trail, it was def worth the trip!

Large playground area for toddlers and older kids. Clean bathrooms. Beautiful trails along the river.

Beautiful metro park. Lots to do and see here from old canals to all kinds of birds and animals. Or just relax and have a picnic lots of play places for kids.

Loved every thing about this metro park. The tracks, water, greenery and park itself. Felt belonged ! Enjoyed the nature, it has got some thing to offer for every one. Their fishing area for relaxing, barbecuing spots, play area for kids, place for events like marriages and parties. And even offers kayaking !!!

Sidecut Park is one of the beautiful metro parks we have in the Toledo area. Of you can find a quiet spot on the river you can enjoy watching the grey Herrin, wood ducks and so many more beautiful birds.

One of my favorite parks in the area. Great trails including the one that goes right beside the river. In the early spring you always see a lot deer and wildlife. I love their bird watching area.

Very friendly walkers. Well kept clean Metropark. Plenty of trails nice fishing area. Plenty of picnic areas. Well-rounded awesome park.

Beautiful park. My daughter got her senior pictures done here. One of our favorite places to go

Because I could take out dog to the park and was happy that others walking their dogs cleaned up after them.

Absolutely Beautiful ParkMy Husband A Couple Here Yesterday Beautiful Park, Must Visit Next Year

This is one of the metro parks I love going with my family to. Whether its going for a picnic, playing on the playground or taking a move walk on the trails. I have been to this park several times and have seen alot of animals and my child loves to learn about nature. You can see some pretty cool things. We make a family day out of it and all the other visitors are pretty nice. Would completely recommend.

Great walking/biking trails. People fishing. Nature at its best.

One of our favorites. The playground has something for big and little kids alike. Shade makes it comfy in hot weather. Nice river walk too.

Always a great time. Whether you want to hike a trail, fish by the river, or take the kids to a playground. This park has it all. Beautiful scenery and always a great time to go.

Been walking through this great park since 1992...serene in all seasons. very pleasant.

Quiet and serene this time of year..water level in the river very low...tree colors beautifu

The park is very relaxing, a great place to just sit in your car or on a bench or take a hike and enjoy the river, people, birds, a book, an ice cream, but there are no restroom facilities I could find except the porta-pot at the cemetery which is well taken care of.

Wonderful place to enjoy nature well taken care of clean maintained trails highly recommend using our great metro parks in our area.

Love the locks. There are a few places that are very nice to just sit and admire gods work.

Beautiful park and great walk ways.

Great time fishing on Silver Lake in Sidecut Metropark. Got a fat 14 in the first hour fishing from the bank. First time fishing there.

Awesome place! Great views of the river! The playground is fun and we love the waterfalls!

Very nice park kept up very well and lots of things to see we loved it.

Nice trail, I like to put pet rocks that I paint, here.

Its a quiet oasis of Nature !! Open trails for exploration

Quick stop while waiting. Very relaxing park. River and bird sounds. Saw great scars on the trees from the February flood and ice flows.

Very nice park. Great area for the kids. No one wears masks, a little troublesome.

Great place for a walk. Several historical canal locks are located in the park. The bird viewing area is a nice feature. Ive only cought one fish at side cut, but you can try your luck.

I love this park always peaceful. There are lots of birds to see and plants as well.

Definitely worth going too. Its helped me with my stress while at school.

The Metroparks are by far one of the best things the Toledo Metro has to offer. The grounds and facilities are always meticulously maintained. There are usually volunteers around if you ever have questions. This particular park has an awesome playground, pond, and wildlife observatory. The pond even has a canoe launch. In the winter there are always families sledding down the sled hill or snowshoeing around the park. Also, there are great trails for running, and of course the fishing in the Maumee River is some of the best in the country.

Been going to this park almost my entire life. Love every bit of it. Itd be nice if they took the caution tape off of the playground on the river side of the park. Other than that had yet another fantastic visit

Always a beautiful place to take in the nature, river side. Favorite park to take a walk or bike ride.

Very nice park to eat lunch and take a walk along the riverfront trail.

Great park! Lots of playground equipment, paths for walking & biking along the river, a some fireplace for cooking marshmallows & BBQ area. Lots of picnic tables & benches. Beautiful trees. It is very large, we only got to see a fraction of it today! Excited to explore more!

The metroparks always get 5 stars from me

This park has something for everyone! Absolutely beautiful walking paths, entry to waters, amazing playset for kids. Definitely love coming here!!

Nice place to walk, bike or picnic. Very good trails.

Beautiful scenery. Wife and I love to walk around, have picnics and play tennis here. One of the best parks around..

Nice trails to hike.nice playgrounds.good areas to fish. Beautiful views of the Maumee River.Nice areas to have picnics. Good trails to bike.There is a sledding hill. Great time.

Beautiful and well maintained park.My family and I have been going here for years to enjoy leisure walks, take photography, and attend their park events. Weve attended a 5K k-9 walk here a couple years ago that was more than fun and scenic!It is a popular metropark for photography for a magnitude of reasons such as: the beautiful trails with thick woods, tall grass, open fields, willow trees, and water! Perfect for senior, engagement, wedding, newborn, and family photos.There is two sides to this metropark so take the kids, take the dog, or take some water and enjoy a walk with your significant other or yourself and walk both sides.Weve attended during this COVID-19 time and the park is still maintained and has signs everywhere from the trails, water, to the playground so you are constantly reminded to social distance and kindly reminded there is still a prevailing virus.

Loved this park we will definitely be back!! Clean and such beautiful trails.

I fished here in the 90s when I was a kid. Park has been updated tremendously and is very nice now. Still has large carp in pond which are fun to catch. Also caught some bass.

Always beautiful and full of things to see and do.

Absolutely beautiful! My boyfriend and I went for a nice walk, and the weather was perfect with a nice breeze and people were just out enjoying the park and the view of the river.

This gorgeous riverside park features many lovely well-maintained trails. The trail along the river in particular is an excellent place to get photos of the Maumee river.Just on the opposing side of River Rd. Side Cut features several preserved canal locks preserved from a sidecut off the Miami & Erie Canal, which is the origin of the parks name.There is also playgrounds, picnic areas, and even a sledding hill for the winter months.

Always beautiful here nice trails and beautiful sight seeing.

Pretty great spot, although, there are better ones in the area

A gem 9f a place to visit. Especially down along the river. Beautiful scenery.

Truly enjoyed this place. Many places to sit and gather. Squirrels and chipmunks everywhere. Sat and watch the bird feeders and saw 13 different species in half an hour.

Beautiful. Lush green. River runs through it. Several paths with surprises along the way!

Love it real nice scenery and so much history to it!

A nice park with long hiking/ biking trails and a nice playground, all within a short distance from the river. Its not our favourite metropark in the area, but we still enjoyed visiting it as its minutes away from our dentists.

Love this park as it is extremely large and there is lots to do there.

We used the Lamb Center for a small wedding ceremony and it worked out, well!

Great place to watch Wildlife!

Absolutely love this park, would recommend to a friend.

A great place to walk. Eat lunch by the river.

This is a beautiful place to wander around. We spent time at the playground, which our kids decided they never wanted to leave and then checked out the locks. We felt like we had entered into a different world. Extremely peaceful and easy to walk.

Trails are nice and clean. Scenery is gorgeous.

Very delightful place. Lot of cute little trails to take. Lovely views to see. The facilities and grounds are very well taken care of. They had nice little falls to see. The river was nice. They had cool stone huts with fireplaces for you to relax at. Saw some wildlife. I love that it is all close to a metropolitan area, too. There is decent parking and a public restroom. The trails are of good quality and easy to use. Very simple but lovely place. Heavily recommended.

Lots of trails and space to enjoy the outdoors. No litter. Not crowded on a Thursday afternoon.

We bought our lunch from Dales Bar in Maumee and ate it at the river! Beautiful park with wonderful views! Corona virus free lunch!!! Lol

Despite a cold December visit, the park grounds and trails were well kept and accessible. Deer crossed in front and to the sides of us multiple times, which was a nice, picturesque surprise. Im looking forward to going back in the spring and summer, where it looks like there will be many places for picnicking and enjoying the many crisscrossing paths and water features.

This was a beautiful place to take an afternoon walk. A great place for landscape photographers, picnics, and dogs!

Beautiful paths that are well maintained. Views of ponds and the Maumee river

Side Cut is a amazing and beautiful place to walk and there is so many nice animals you can find while walking.

Such a beautiful park, a great place to bring the family, you never know what the kids will find

Great place for dog photos.

WOW.... lots of trails, beautiful scenery. Kept really clean.

Tiny minnows were swimming in the large puddles and we watched a blue heron eat. Beautiful and relaxing.

Great place to go and relax and see a different side of the city

This is a wonderful park anytime of year. Easy to get to and lots to explore.

Fun and lots of space to socially distance

Beautiful park any time of year

Great place to visit, lots of rustic trails and plenty of water!

Fun trip with my family, great for picnics

Awesome parks with a good trials. A lot of cool things to see!

Just beautiful out at the park. The Fall colors were beautiful. My daughter used the park to take Senior photos. They turned out fantastic. Highly recommend exploring.

A gem in Maumee. There is so much to explore and the natural beauty is amazing. Truly glorious. Lots of benches and covered areas you could have a picnic or family gathering. Open spaces for frisbee, soccer, games, or just lay out a blanket and chill.

Very popular metropark. Nice playground on the Riverside. One even for very little kids that is separate. I found the rest rooms very nice and clean. Upgraded in the last couple years.

1st times here, and its amazing, so much nature, bird watching, chipmunks...G.O.E

Beautiful park with lots to do!

Love the view! Bathrooms are usually clean too

I got a blister on my foot because the park is too big and I had to walk a lot but it was worth it

Amazing park. Great trails and excellent views of deer and wildlife.

Great place to take a walk and take pictures

It was fine all the park stuff was closed due to COVID 19, BS like being in the sun is bad for this fakedemic the sun is good. Anyways the river was over its banks but was beautiful there.

My favorite park in Toledo, besides Oak Openings. Great riverside trail. I like to park in the park, take the long trail to downtown maumee and grab food/drink, and have a good walk back to the car.

This is such a pretty park. I have taken senior pictures here and family shoots. It is just a relaxing and peaceful place

Amazing how much damage the Maumee River ice flow can do. The parks and city will be busy this spring
