Using Clean Ohio funds, the former golf course is the 15th park in our system and features four miles of hiking trails using portions of the cart path. Stark Parks acquired the first phase of the Tam O’ Shanter Park in Dec. 2018, encompassing 94 acres and a second phase in 2019. A partnership with Jackson Township Parks will allow for active recreation to be created in a 40 acre space near Fulton Dr.
The park is open daily for hiking and nature and wildlife viewing. Fishing (or catch and release fishing) is available at the pond next to the main entrance and parking area. Catfish, bass, bluegill, and crappie have been stocked in the pond. Use this form to be added to the email list for park updates.
The Tam O’Shanter Shelter is nestled among trees overlooking several views of the park. It is perfect for a party of up to 110 people. The open-air shelter is equipped with electricity, picnic tables, ADA picnic table, and two charcoal grills. Parking and a portable restroom are located near the shelter.
