The Mission of the Licking Park District is to acquire, manage, preserve, and conserve natural areas within Licking County, while protecting wildlife and local history in a manner that enriches our communities and provides access to diverse parks, educational opportunities and health and wellness activities.
Vision Statement
It is the vision of the Licking Park District to provide parks, paths, and trails of the highest quality to the residents of Licking County.

We provide passive recreational opportunities for the health, wellness, and education of our residents using resources that include public and private collaborations.
The Licking Park District manages 1,600 acres on ten sites across Licking County. We also manage 26 miles of paved multi-use trails.
The office of the Licking Park District is located at Infirmary Mound Park. It is a white brick building near the silo, and can be accessed by the north entrance to the park, off of Rt. 37.

Park Board of Commissioners
The Park District is governed by a 5-member Board of Park Commissioners appointed by the Probate Judge of Licking County. Park Commissioners serve overlapping, three-year terms without compensation. The Board develops and implements policy, buys, sells and holds title to property, assesses taxes, and has the final authority in financial matters.
The Board appoints a director to manage day-to-day operations and to represent the Board regarding daily matters.
The Park Commissioners meet on the 3rd Wednesday of each month at 6pm at Infirmary Mound Park – James Bradley Center.
