Ashley Park

 

Ashley Park is located at West 3rd Street and Oak Drive.  The area was originally a curved dirt road called Ashley Avenue for one block.  The road led to the Wayne County Fairgrounds and was surrounded by a small grove of ash trees for which the park is now named.  As the area developed the dirt road was straightened and paved allowing for more area for a park.  In 1972 the space was filled, sodded, and planted with trees and dedicated as Ashley Park.  It is designed as a neighborhood playground and picnic park.

        ·     Drinking Fountain

        ·     Picnic Tables
