Skating
The 13,000-square foot skate park facility at Mingo Park addresses the needs of skaters, bikers and bladers, regardless of their skill level. The skate park is open dawn to dusk, weather permitting.
Fishing
Fishing is available year-round (weather permitting) at Blue Limestone, Smith Park and Mingo Parks. Blue Limestone park is stocked annually in the spring by the Ohio Department of Natural Resources. A fishing license is required and all local and state codes and regulations will be enforced. (www.dnr.state.oh.us)
Walking
Walking is a great form of year-round exercise. In addition to our expanding bikeway network, a number of parks have trails provide a safe & enjoyable walking environment. Smith Park trail measures 1.1 mile, Mingo Park trail is 1 mile, Carson Farms trail is .4 mile, and Stratford Woods trail is .5 mile. The indoor Recreation Center in Mingo Park is also open for walking during inclement weather at 7:30 am on weekdays. Thirteen laps around the gym is equal to 1 mile.
In recent years, new residential and commercial developments have been urged to include bikeways. These bikeways have taken the form of shared-use paths that are not only safe for bicycle use, but also safe for pedestrians, joggers, roller bladers, and skate boarders. Such recent paths have been included in the construction of Carson Farms, Springer Woods, and Curtis Farms. Bikeways have also been included in roadway and park improvements. The construction of the U.S. 42-US 23 intersection included a shared-use path along South Sandusky Street from Belle Avenue South to West Hull Drive. Through state and federal grants and the use of local developer impact funds, the City completed in spring 2007 the Henry Street and Springfield Branch trails for 2.4 miles of new bikeways.
