Yes, the Metroparks acquired the Middlegrounds land in 2005 or 2006, thanks to a federal grant.

The Middlegrounds park is 28 acres.

It's too early to know the size of the Marina District park.

From the Blade story:

ProMedica plans to hold the land for an undetermined amount of time before it sells most or all of it for the same price to the Metroparks ...

Most?

ProMedica will buy 69 acres of Marina District land from Dashing-Pacific.

But apparently, ProMedica has the option to buy the other 59 acres of Marina District land from the city of Toledo, assuming that I understand the confusion.

Will the Marina District Metropark be based upon the 69 acres or all 128 acres?

ProMedica may sell most of the land. I suppose the park could be 40 acres. What would ProMedica do with the rest of the land?

We probably won't see any details about the proposed park until 2017.

From the Blade story:

The new park would be the system’s top priority and take at least 12 months to plan, Mr. Zenk said.
