Ashland's City Park offers something for young and old alike. Our Park offers a newly constructed skateboard park, recreation equipment for children, tennis courts, and even a ampitheater for outdoor performances. The well lit walking trail offers a peaceful setting for an afternoon or early evening walk in the park. The Park offers a wonderful setting for Reunions, Weddings, Birthdays, and Community Gatherings.
