Comments

  • Gorgeous park modeled on Golden Gate Park in SF. So beautiful I got married there.
  • In the hub of downtown sits Lithia Park, Ashland’s crown jewel. Lithia is a 93-acre vista of emerald lawns, tennis courts, a sand-pit volleyball court, picnic area, colorful landscaping and playground equipment. The park follows Ashland Creek 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.
  • This is the park to measure all other parks. Ashland and Lithia Park are the most beautiful places in the world.
