Lithia Park



In the hub of downtown sits Lithia Park, Ashland’s crown jewel. Lithia is a 93-acre vista of emerald lawns, tennis courts, a sand-pit volleyball court, picnic area, colorful landscaping and playground equipment. The park follows Ashland Creek through undeveloped woodlands, and also includes a Japanese garden, two duck ponds, a formal rose garden, groves of sycamore trees and a number of secluded spots.

Lithia Park’s History

The park began with eight acres in 1892 by the Chautauqua Association to bring entertainment and culture to southern Oregon. They built a domed building for their shows, the walls of which now surround the Oregon Shakespeare Festival’s Elizabethan Theater.Visitors came from miles around over the next thirty summers to participate in the various attractions offered, and to camp in what was to become Lithia Park.The Oregon Shakespeare Festival began in 1935 with a three-day summer festival of Shakespearean plays under founding director Angus Bowmer.

Taught by Chief Instructor John Fox Sensei

Aikido's graceful, circular techniques are designed to neutralize aggression without attacking, to control opposing forces by blending rather than opposing. Aikido students study the power of harmony by learning that softness and calmness are not weaknesses; in fact such qualities, along with assertiveness, are the most effective responses one can make to violence and aggression.

Life in Historical Ashland, OR.


Living in Ashland, Oregon is a different and unique experience; it’s like walking into some unusual time zone. It’s the home of the Oregon Shakespeare Festival, There are many other theater groups, featuring a wide variety of performances, including musicals, comedy and experimental theater. http://www.osfashland.org/

Ashland has many forms of recreation; Mt. Ashland is only 15 miles from downtown Ashland and has 23 ski runs, 80 miles of cross-country trails, and Bear Creek Bike and Nature Trail. A favorite of bikers, the trail runs along Bear Creek, then down the valley to Medford. Then there’s Lithia Park with many awesome picnic sites and the Elizabethan Theater outdoor theater.

There are many more fun things to do here, like attending the Ashland Film Festival, or the Brit Festival. Downtown has some of the most unique shops anywhere, selling local arts and crafts, unique clothing, and if your into the Zen thing you’ll love it here.
