Allardale Park

"This park has always been one of my favorites. I've been visiting for many years, but last week I discovered a new trail that I never knew existed! Very tranquil and beautiful hilltop and wooded views and I have very seldom crossed paths with other visitors, which I love. It feels like my own private property!"

"Absolutely stunning park with a lodge that would be perfect for any event!"

"This park is a hidden gem in Granger, Ohio. Features several walking and hiking trials that traverse through forests. A good place for walking dogs and even has a few spots for kids to play. There is a nice picnic area available for reservations as well as a hilltop lodge perfect for larger getogethers. Overall one of the smaller but nicer parks in the area."

"This is a beautiful park with wooded areas and some big fields. Some walking trails were paved with asphalt and some were not. All trails were clearly marked and very easy to walk on. There is an equestrian center there too with a lot of jumps that could be set up for horses, as well as a big barn and stalls. There is a new lodge building which is very large and looks very nice. There was a private event on the Saturday afternoon that we were near there, so we could not peek in the windows. The entire park is sparkling clean. Well done."

"I love this little park. I came across it when I was trying to find something that was more of a relaxing walk rather than a hike. Also wanted to get away from the hustle and bustle of Hinckley and Whips Ledges. I came in through the West entrance. There are four different trails that criss cross through this park. The inner loop is paved, the outer loop is a combination of dirt and grass. Several man-made bridges and steps will keep your walk interesting. All throughout the trails there are plenty of benches to sit and experience the wildlife. Mostly birds such as American goldfinch, Black crows, Swifts and Hawks can be seen. On the East entrance there is a 1.8 mile Bridal Trail to navigate."
