"One of the most beautiful parks I've seen!"
Lithia Park is a stunningly beautiful 93-acre park in a garden setting situated within easy distance of 1-5 for either a quick pitstop or an afternoon detour. Located on the north end of Ashland, Oregon in their pedestrian-friendly downtown, there are several entrances to this sprawling park, but the easiest to access from the city center is on Winburn Way. Park either in the city square or follow Winburn around the side of the park, and cross one of the several arched bridges over Ashland Creek. At this north end of Lithia Park, you’ll find a duck pond and excellent play structure, complete with climbing wall/rock and rope tower. Near the play area is easy access to the creek, where kids can dip toes on hot days (unless signs dictate otherwise…the creek is closed to waders during some summers).
On the way back to the car, let the kids peek into Small Change, an excellent toy and boutique-quality children’s clothing store at 5 N. Main. Little ones can climb up the ladder into an elevated loft (fully enclosed with a latching gate) where they are encouraged to play with a selection of toys while you peruse the offerings. The other shops along the square are fascinating to poke around in as well, if your kids have the patience!

"Playground, ducks, wading creek"
Lithia Park is great for families. There is a pretty standard playground there but my favorite is the creek that runs through the park and the wading area for kids to play in. My daughter also loves to visit the duck pond. Lithia Park is right by downtwon Ashland so it's just a short walk from lunch, ice cream, toy stores and book stores as well.
