Seneca County Park District
Commissioner Dave Sauber if the 5.5 acres of county property along
Willow Creek south of SR 18 could be developed into a county park. The
federal government, through the Department of Housing and Urban
Development, had given the property to Seneca County with the
restriction that a park or natural area could be its only use.
In further researching the situation, it was found that a committee with
leadership from Autumnwood Care Center had already developed
preliminary plans. Under the Seneca County Park District, this park was
cooperatively designed as a disability accessible nature preserve.
Funding through an Access to Recreation grant allowed full development
of the park in 2008 and 2009.
This park is named in recognition of our former director's dedication to
the county parks and those with disabilities.
Special thanks are given to the county commissioners, Autumnwood
Care Center, the Kellogg Foundation and Tiffin Charitable Foundation.
Features:
5-acre nature preserve
0.2-mile paved walkway
Fully disability accessible
Borders Willow Creek
2 shelters
Picnic tables and resting benches
Interactive raised planting beds
Water pump for plants
Address: 680 E. SR 18, Tiffin, Ohio
Committee chairperson: Mary Lee Creeger, director of development,
Autumnwood Care Center, 419-447-7151
