Perrysburg committee updates: restrooms, bottle fillers, new equipment and table order
Summary
Parks staff told the committee they received a Wood County grant for water bottle filling stations, started restroom remodels at Rivercrest, ordered a second picnic table for Riverside and purchased a Buffalo turbine for parks maintenance.
Parks Department staff updated the Perrysburg Parks & Recreation Advisory Committee on projects and maintenance for the coming season, including grant-funded bottle fillers, restroom remodels and a new maintenance unit.
At the meeting Greg (Parks Department staff) reported the city received a Wood County grant to fund bottle filling stations and identified the installation locations as Rivercrest and Municipal Park. “We did get the Wood County grant for the water fill stations,” Greg said. He also confirmed restroom renovations at Rivercrest have begun and that the city has ordered a second picnic table for Riverside Park after historic-landmark signoff.
Why it matters: members said these improvements address routine maintenance and visitor amenities and are scheduled to proceed as weather and budgets allow.
Key project details
- Bottle filling stations: funded by the Wood County grant; sites named were Rivercrest and Municipal Park.
- Restroom remodels: demolition and replacement work began the week of the meeting; plans include new partitions, fixtures and an epoxy floor, while reusing sinks where feasible.
- Equipment and supplies: parks staff reported a purchase order was issued for a Buffalo turbine unit to mount on a front mower for snow and debris removal; staff expect delivery within weeks.
- Picnic table and historic review: a picnic table ordered for Riverside Park required approval from the historic landmark commission; the committee confirmed funds and the approved table that met the commission’s requirements.
Other notes
Staff said a recent Wood County grant application for batting-cage work was not successful and that light upgrades for the pickleball courts remain under study. Sunshades purchased last year are planned for installation at Municipal Park this season.
Ending
Staff summarized that work will continue as weather permits, with some projects budget-dependent; committee members asked for follow-up details as prices and timelines are confirmed.
