Green Leaf Park

Natural Features

Green Leaf Park spans 95.29 acres and offers visitors a variety of outdoor activities and natural features to enjoy. Originally a gravel pit, the land has been transformed into a picturesque park with grassy slopes and wooded areas.

The park includes a .85-acre pond and a 1.5-acre wetland, adding to the park's diverse ecosystem. In spring, visitors can enjoy the chorus of spring peepers in the park's wetland area.

Trails and Recreation

The park features a .85-mile nature trail, which provides a moderate hiking experience for visitors. This trail allows park-goers to explore the park's natural beauty and observe local flora and fauna.

For those interested in sports and active recreation, Green Leaf Park offers a football/soccer field. During winter months, the hill overlooking these fields becomes a popular spot for sledding, providing seasonal entertainment for visitors.

Historical Elements

Green Leaf Park houses an early 1800s log home that belonged to the Hard family. This structure, relocated to the park by the Sharon Historical Society, offers visitors a glimpse into the area's past.

Near the log home, the Medina County Herb Society maintains an herb garden for visitors to enjoy and learn about various plant species.

Amenities

The park provides ample opportunities for picnicking, with a reservable shelter that can accommodate group activities and family reunions. Additionally, there are individual picnic tables scattered throughout the park for smaller gatherings or solo visitors.

Green Leaf Park is open year-round, offering changing scenery and activities with each season.
