Walking trails (easy) along both sides of creek. Lots of park benches and picnic tables. Went in off season, so very mellow.
I simply can't believe this park. Just outside of historic downtown, it is the gateway to MILES of hiking. We stumbled onto the Alice in Wonderland trail system by basically just trending upward on the foot paths. There is also a beautiful trail running along the creek. Lithia Park itself is beautifully appointed--there was even an active and popular ice skating rink going when we were there in FEB. A must-see if you want to enjoy the quiet side and natural beauty of Ashland. WE WILL BE BACK!
Lithia Park, starting at the Plaza in downtown Ashland, OR, is a most amazing park. Designed by the same person who designed Golden Gate Park in San Francisco, it's just a gorgeous place to spend time. The park is long and narrow, following Lithia Creek up to the mountains. It's well manicured and filled with wonderful plants, trees, and, often, deer. If you visit Ashland, you must visit Lithia Park. And on the way into the park you may stop on the Plaza for a slurp of Lithia water from one of the public fountains. The water is always better when you take a newbie there and watch their reaction to the taste!
Just amazing 100 acre park NOT to be missed. Paint, stroll, run, write, tennis courts, beautiful pond. . .for all ages. Enjoy!
A nice spring day and the park was filled with people. Park appeared clean with trails and 2 pools. Wood ducks inhabit the place. Close to downtown and the setting is beautiful. It must strtch about a mile along a creek.
Very nice urban park that extends for about 1.5 miles along a babbling brook. No dogs allowed though. Close to downtown shopping and restaurants. Spring water is powerful.
In addition to hosting the Oregon Shakespeare Festival, Ashland's most famous attraction, Lithia Park has miles of trails through a wonderful forested hillside overlooking town. What a treasure!
What a fantastic and beautiful park! When we were finished walking around the town, we decided to go see the park, and are glad we did. The path up and down the creek is easy to walk with beautiful scenery surrounding it. I would suggest taking a picnic and spending a few hours there.
This is a lovely, well used park in downtown Ashland. There were lots of families enjoying their day in the sun. Don't know why the pond is so empty, maybe they are trying to get the mud out or something. The ducks looked a bit fed up.
Since I have lived in Ashland for many years I can tell you this park never gets old. Beautiful and right downtown so easily accessible.
