Confirmed from Licking Park District's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
Park featuring trails and a playground, plus equestrian facilities and a lake for fishing and boating.

Honestly when I think of outdoors and nature this is the number one spot I think of! They have everything you would want to reset and enjoy being outside. The dog park, nature trails and pond are some of the most enjoyable features. They also host classes, events, have shelter areas for family gathering as well.

I absolutely adore our local park district! Infirmary Park has become a true gem in our community, offering endless opportunities for exploration and fun. The updates and improvements made over the last few years have been nothing short of amazing.
Cool place to visit. The lake is very calm and perfect for those learning to kayak or use a small boat. Take a walk in the woods, the trails are easy and the view inside is amazing. There is a trail with fairy houses which my daughter was very excited to see. Enjoy the adventure.
