Lithia Park

What to Do...


In the hub of downtown sits Lithia Park, Ashland's crown jewel. Lithia is a 100-acre vista of emerald lawns, pickleball courts, a sand-pit volleyball court, the Swim Reservoir at the south end of the park, picnic areas, colorful landscaping and playground. Learn about the history of Lithia Park. 

In 2016, local author, John Enders, wrote a book entitled, Lithia Park: The Heart & Soul of Ashland. Johh's book may be purchased locally at Bloomsbury Books or the Paddington in Ashland. 

In 2013, two century-old landmarks in Lithia Park were restored and celebrated - Learn more. Read about the history of Lithia Park and take a tour of historical Lithia Park.

In 2014, Lithia Park was designated as one of the top ten Great American Spaces by the American Planning Association.

The park follows Ashland Creek (Know Before You Splash!) through undeveloped woodlands, and also includes a Japanese garden, two duck ponds, a formal rose garden, groves of sycamore trees and a number of secluded spots. Discover the plants and trees of Lithia Park with our Lithia Park Trail Guide. Learn more about our guided nature walks through the park during the summer months.
