Nestled in the heart of Ashland is the serene, leafy parkland of Lithia Park. The water fountains of the park are flowing with lithium-rich waters, which led to the curious christening of the park. Opened to the public in 1916, this park stands on the grounds of a former mill. Spanning 93 acres (38 hectares), the park features duck ponds, several picnic areas, miles of hiking trails, a band shell for musical performances and even a winter ice skating rink. When in Ashland, one must head to Lithia Park to bring in a fun-filled day in the company of scenic locales.
