Pontiac Metro Park
Pontiac Park is the birthplace of Chief Pontiac in 1712. Chief Pontiac organized the conspiracy against the British in 1763. He federated the tribes with the aid of the French, threatened British supremacy. Chief Pontiac was killed in Illinois in 1769. A marker at on 24 North (424) along the bank of the Maumee River marks this historical spot.
Pontiac Park has been revitalized over the past several years. A fountain along with walkways, historical markers, and a landscaping have made this spot a peaceful gathering place. During the summer months, citizens gather for our annual fireworks display, car shows, boat shows and war re-enactments are held here throughout the year.
