I'm probably being a bit bias, but I will forever love this park now as it's the place my fiancé proposed. The park was pretty empty the day we went as it wasn't the warmest day out but we wanted to go for a nice walk and check out somewhere new (little did I know, he had his own agenda). There's a nice pond where we saw someone fishing but we ended up walking back to a trail behind it to get out of the wind. The trail we hit was the perfect length, not too long but not too short either. Probably took us 30-40 minutes. The trees were luckily still hanging on to their leaves, though for not much longer. It seemed there were several trail options that connected and you could veer off onto one of the others but we didn't see a map to know where any of the went so we stuck to ours. There was a nice lookout spot to see over the water too. We also saw people getting their horses out so you can bring your horses and ride the trails. Later we found out that my fiancé's parents bring their horses here! We only explored one small area but it seems to be a large park with lots of trails to check out!

We stopped by Infirmary Mound Park specifically for The Fairy Trail. Although it took us a while to find the trail (even with map and all), we enjoyed The Fairy Trail! The trail was setup perfectly! I loved watching all the little ones searching for the fairies places in the trees. It was so cute! I definitely want to come back to the park to hike some of the other trails. One common complaint we heard from several people on the trail was that the map that's available for everyone is confusing and inaccurate. Maybe that is one thing that could be updated for everyone to enjoy their experience at this park a little bit better? Also, the horse dung on the trails was a little unpleasant too. We had to continuously watch where we were stepping just to avoid getting any dung on our shoes.

AWESOME park, had no idea this place existed until I happened to visit Newark and find it on the…read moremap. Was not prepared for such a steep drive up the hill. This place is a mountain biking haven; most trails are off-limits to hikers, but there is a trail for hiking. Wear good shoes if you're walking a lot- Converse won't cut it. Can't wait to return with better shoes. Great views. Shelter houses, a playground, and monuments. Surely this place is packed with history- a great place to explore. Another thing- when driving to the top, there's a sign saying No Motor Vehicles, so I tried to turn the car around. DON'T do this- it's too narrow and dangerous- plus the road is one way. I kept going and was relieved to see other cars on top. There's one road up the mountain and another down, and one-way signs once you get to the top. The No Motor Vehicle signs are for the mountain bike trails.

There is a premier mountain bike trail system built into the hillside of this Newark city park. The…read moretrails here are not for the faint of heart, but are sure to guarantee plenty of opportunities to advance your skills. There are steep downhill trails at the front of the park, from the main parking lot at the top toward the road. Then from the playground in the back of the park are flow trails with some jump lines. There are multiple trail maps posted throughout the park. There is also a crew of riders here almost every day that could point you in the right direction if you happen to need help. 10/10 trail system.

If you find yourself in Eastern Central Ohio, you must stop and learn about the Great Circle. There…read moreis no charge to visit the park. This amazing structure is one of a complex of mound structures called Earthworks located within the town of Newark. Experts estimated that the mounds were built 2000 years ago by early Hopewell inhabitants of the region. The ingenuity and sophistication of the mound structures are testaments to how brilliant these people were. The mounds served multi purpose use (based on artifacts and features). The large circle at this location was used for ceremonies and was considered sacred. A site further east was where inhabitants lived and farmed. The site north served as an astronomy/calendar, accurately predicting the movement of the sun, moon and stars. Today, the site is preserved and protected. Interesting, the large circle once housed the county fair in the mid 1900's, which protected the area from development. The interpretative center is opened part of the week. A short film and displays describe the mounds. Kerri, the interpretive guide, was friendly, engaging and knowledgeable. She spent a lot of time with us, describing the sites and providing direction to other sites. Our dog was welcomed in the center, which was good because it was too hot to leave him in the car. They had a bowl of treats for dogs near the entrance. Dog walking bags are near the entrance to the park. There is plenty of free parking at the park and a few picnic tables. Paths are paved so strollers and wheel chairs can move easily. While there is no admission fee, donations are accepted.k

Hadn't been for years. The rain let up and I was nearby so I stopped. The grounds are beautiful,…read moreand the mounds are impressive. The small museum was open, and has some nice history and background for these works plus others in the area and the state. Run by Ohio History Connection, these are a nice counterpart to the golf course earthworks and tie in with sites in Chillicothe, etc.
