Enjoy wildflower and wildlife viewing in the open grasslands and along short walking trails at Molly Stark Park. Stark Parks is working with Nimishillen Twp. citizens groups and local business owners to develop this former hospital site into a 35 acre park. Picnic areas, hiking trails, and open areas are featured throughout property.

The park also features a Celebration Garden with three dedicated native plant and flower gardens. Areas include a Stark Traffic Garden, Memorial Garden, and Celebration Garden. Donations are accepted and will be recognized with a certificate of appreciation and highlight each honoree with a brief description and a photo, if provided.

A master plan for the park will be developed in the future. Due to environmental hazards and safety concerns the former hospital building is not open for private or public tours for any group.

Outdoor walking tours of the grounds of Molly Stark Park share stories of the history and mystery surrounding it.

You are welcome to contact Stark Parks to share your memories, stories, and images of the former hospital site!
