Lithia Park Comment MailTribune.com Writer Posted May. 27, 2016 at 12:01 AM Posted May. 27, 2016 at 12:01 AM » Social News Lithia Park is the 93-acre crown jewel of Ashland's park system. From May through September, the city offers free, 90-minute walks through the park with a trained naturalist at 10 a.m. Fridays, Sundays and Wednesdays, and Saturdays in July and August. No reservations are required, just meet at the park entrance across from the downtown Plaza. Trail booklets for self-guided tours are available at The Grove, 1195 E. Main St., the information kiosk on the Plaza and Ashland Chamber of Commerce, 110 E. Main St. Ducks, turtles and the occasional Canada geese can be seen floating on the Lower Duck Pond and the large Upper Duck Pond. A main path leading gently uphill deeper into the park passes a children's playground, wading area in Ashland Creek, restrooms and a climbing wall for kids. Away from the path to the right are a rose garden and the historic Butler-Perozzi Fountain. Nearby is a Japanese Garden that provides a tranquil retreat with trickling water, moss, Japanese maples and other plants and trees from Asia. Tennis courts visible from the main path and Winburn Way beckon sports enthusiasts, while at the top of the park, a swimming reservoir created by the pooling of Ashland Creek has been cooling summertime visitors for decades.
