About the Location
Natural Beauty
Situated in Warren, Licht Park offers seven acres of tranquility that feels like a secret escape from city life. The moment you step inside, you're welcomed by lush greenery and open spaces that somehow manage to feel both expansive and intimate at the same time.
What really makes this park special are the old growth trees that tower overhead, creating pockets of shade that are absolute lifesavers on hot summer days. There's something incredibly calming about walking beneath these gentle giants. And if you're lucky (or come prepared with some nuts), the park's friendly squirrels might just become your new companions - these little characters have grown quite comfortable around humans and aren't shy about approaching visitors.
In spring, wildflowers dot the landscape with bursts of color, adding a touch of magic to your visit. Just a heads-up though - after heavy rains, some areas can get a bit soggy, so plan your footwear accordingly.
Get Moving
The heart of Licht Park is its 1/3-mile asphalt walking path that loops around the perimeter. It's well-suited for casual strolls, morning jogs, or a walk with the little ones on a smooth surface. Fitness enthusiasts will appreciate the exercise stations positioned along the route - great for mixing up your workout routine with some strength training between laps.
Kids will enjoy the well-designed playground area. It's split into two sections - a gentler zone for the younger crowd and a more challenging space for older kids that features what locals swear are the longest monkey bars in town. Parents can relax a bit knowing that the mature trees provide some welcome shade over parts of the playground.
Gather & Unwind
Looking for a spot to host a small family gathering? The picnic tables and covered gazebo/pavilion create an ideal setting for outdoor meals. There's even a charcoal grill available if you're in the mood for some outdoor cooking. One of the park's quirkier features is its Little Free Library designed like a castle complete with a drawbridge - a charming touch that book lovers will adore.
Good to Know
Licht Park comes equipped with restrooms for both men and women, but you should note they're only open seasonally. Drinking water is available on-site, so you can stay hydrated during your visit. The park is wheelchair-friendly, making it accessible for everyone to enjoy.
Dog owners, rejoice! Your four-legged friends are welcome here as long as they're leashed. The walking path is especially popular for daily dog walks. When you need a moment to catch your breath, you'll discover plenty of benches scattered across the grounds.
Licht Park offers a pleasant green space in the middle of suburban Warren where people can enjoy nature and each other's company.
