Oregon Shakespeare Festival

Highlight • Structure

The name Oregon Shakespeare Festival can be a bit confusing as it is a repertory theatre that stages hundreds of performances between May & December, not just a handful over a week or two.

While Ashland is known for its University, stunning mountain setting, and budding wine industry the Shakespeare Festival is without a doubt its most famous attraction.

Guanajuato Street

This small street is named after Guanajuato in Central Mexico. Ashland and Guanajuato have had a Sister City & Sister University relationship for over 50 years.

Meyer Memorial Pond

Highlight • Lake

This pond greets you shortly after entering Lithia Park and it is always a good place to meet and have a chat on one of the benches. In the fall it really comes in to its own as the changing leaves add beautiful colors to the serene setting.

Japanese Garden

Highlight • Structure

The Japanese Garden has been a part of Lithia Park since it's opening in 1916. The original layout was designed by John McLaren, who is best known as the Superintendent of San Francisco's Golden Gare Park. However, the current layout, design by Toru Tanaka (former director of the Portland Japanese Garden), was opened in October of 2022 and is meant to be enjoyed in a counter-clockwise direction.

Lithia Park

Highlight • Natural

Lithia Park is a 100-acre oasis in downtown Ashland featuring emerald lawns, a swimming reservoir, picnic areas, playgrounds, and more. With plenty of trees for shade, tranquil ponds, and water fountains, it's the perfect spot to relax after a long bike ride, which are not permitted within the Park, so you'll need to lock it up before you head in. The Ashland Creek flows through the Park, adding to its natural beauty.

Granite Street Reservoir

Highlight • Lake

Granite Street Reservoir, fed by the fresh mountain water of Ashland Creek, is a local favorite nature spot to swim on hot summer days. There is a nice sandy beach area, picnic tables, a big grassy area, and restrooms.
