Named after the lithium oxide found in the stream that runs through its area, the Lithia Park is the central and largest park in Ashland, Oregon. It has a total of 93 acres of land area, mostly forested canyonland surrounding the Ashland Creek.
Lithia Park has a wide array of areas where visitors can enjoy various activities. It has a bandshell for musical performances, duck ponds, a playground, tennis courts, two large greens, community buildings, picnic areas, hiking trails, and an ice skating rink during winters.
Established in 1892, the Lithia Park has been restored to its original glory in the 1970s, allowing current generations to enjoy its wonders today. It was added on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.
