Since its inception in 1989, the Licking Park District has made a concerted effort to acquire and preserve representatives of Licking County's cultural and natural heritage. We currently manage approximately 1500 acres of green space in Licking County and offer many recreational opportunities for area residents. The following facilities represent only a fraction of the treasures which abound in Licking County. With your support, the Licking Park District will continue to grow and preserve our cultural and natural resources for future generations to enjoy. Whether you enjoy picnics, fishing, hiking, horseback riding, or a game of pickup baseball, this is the place to go.
Visitors can also experience six major events and numerous small progra ms throughout the year.
