A beautiful, lush green park with plenty of space to walk, relax, and play. There are huge trees,…read moregreen grass, and a little river running through the park, making it such a peaceful and delightful place to spend time. You can even see deer walking around or grazing in the park from time to time. It's conveniently located right next to the city center, making it an easy place to visit while exploring the area. The Sunday market is also worth checking out. Local artists and vendors set up booths, and you can find all kinds of cute and unique handmade art and crafts. Such a lovely park--definitely worth a visit!

********** NOT DOG FRIENDLY **********…read more We travel with our dog so we drove here specifically after seeing many online recommendations that this was a great place to bring your pup. It was a challenge finding parking but when we did, we excitedly walked to the park anticipating the enjoyment we would all have. Unfortunately, when we arrived, we were greeted with multiple signs advising that the park does not allow dogs and encouraging people to walk their dogs around outside the park. We did that, as well as attempting one of the trail options but we have better options for that without driving here, hence the two stars. We also understand the necessity of not allowing dogs is specific locations so this review is for anyone researching because the Internet has told them this is a dog friendly place. It is not.

This little park is a testament to all the caring individuals who work and volunteer here…read more It's a bit of history on how things were at a different time and quite a bit of acreage that is adjacent to a baseball park. The baseball park was in use and a few people were wandering the park. Not too busy on a Saturday but there was a lot of nature to see. They have a lot of displays set up so you can see how various animals make their homes. For example black bears and some varieties of birds. Lots of time and money (there are many interpretive signs) has went into this location. It's worth a walk through. The office is open M-F but you can check out the nature outside anytime. Price: Free I'll check it out again when I'm in the neighborhood.

The park is dog friendly and ample street parking is available.

If all the flowers were blooming, I'd give it a 5 stars!…read moreDidn't see Bonsai, so minus a star. Was there one? The Koi fish in the pond, all came to us, when we got there, like they're wishing hubby his 75th birthday! They could tell, he's HERE! They could smell, he's HERE! They could hear his footsteps, he's HERE! The magnolias were scented, some and they're very beautiful at this time. There are other flowers, that were currently blooming, see photos. I'm impressed! It's small! But, I love it, that it's so close to Lithia Park, where we were earlier. I made a separate photo album, just for the Japanese Garden. I will definitely come visit, next time we're in Ashland. 2nd best part about this park? It IS FREE!

Well we love the garden in Portland, Oregon so we had to check it out on our way through Ashland…read more It was so well kept and had the three elements, water, plants and rocks. The staff were great and it was free, but donations gladly welcomed. Great Koi pond. Their koi fish came from a private family in Sacramento, CA., and I think the oldest Koi is 18 years old.

Railroad Park is a cool little outdoor spot. It's about 2 acres in size and is located on "A"…read moreStreet between 6th and 8th. The park opened late fall of 1994 with a picnic shelter, restrooms, playground, half-court basketball, wetlands area, and bike path. The design of this park follows the historic look of the old railroad era. In fact, you can see the track and the view from one side and part of the old Depot across the street

Far enough away that it's not filled with people visiting OSF but close enough to be walking…read moredistance from down town is this nice park. It's two levels, a smaller grassy and play area up top right off of a bridge, and a larger area down the hill. It looked like there was a parking area at the base of the hill but I didn't explore that part of the park. The play structure is modern and clean and even has those spring horses I loved from my childhood but most of California has deemed too dangerous for kids. The view from the upper area was very nice, it parallels 5 but you don't see much of the highway because of the trees. I was there in the beginning of October and the trees were coloring in preparation of dropping their leaves adding to the beauty of the view.

How could anyone not love something this beautiful?…read more Initially, this lake is deceptive. It looks like a much smaller lake then it is, but once you start driving around it you find hidden coves and fingers that suddenly appear out of nowhere. Each turn of a corner brings a new surprise - a water slide for the kiddies, long boat ramps with a place to tie up your boat, beautiful trees that are sure to fill with leaves and blossom into beauty in the summer. There's camp sites and washrooms - a playground for the children too. And, of course, there's the water sports - boating, water skiing, jet skiing, canoeing, fishing. If all this isn't enough, it's really pretty too. Truly, how could anyone not love something this beautiful?

Definitely recommend these guys for your Mt. A shuttling needs. They make sure you're as prepared…read moreto navigate the mountain as you can be. We had an issue that prevented us from riding almost immediately after we started. Unfortunately, it didn't work out for us, but Mike was really accommodating in trying to help us and offered to shuttle us back up that afternoon or next day. I could tell he really wanted us to be stoked on the riding up here, but the Bike Gods and our schedule were against us, so it'll have to wait till next time. I think the price was about right for shuttles, in our experience and I wouldn't hesitate to book with them in the future.
