Pike Ridge Park

Pike Ridge Park, a stunning 520-acre gem nestled in southern Stark County, is the result of a collaborative effort between Stark Parks and the City of Canton. After a thorough remediation process to transform the land from its previous use as a sewer treatment area, the site has been naturalized and is now a beautiful outdoor sanctuary.

With rolling hills, elevated vistas, and serene ponds, Pike Ridge Park offers breathtaking views of the surrounding hills and valleys. The park is rich in wildlife habitats, making it a perfect spot for nature enthusiasts and wildlife watchers alike. As visitors traverse the park's trails, they are treated to sweeping panoramas of the picturesque landscape—views so spectacular, you will have to experience them firsthand to believe their beauty.

However, the park's diverse terrain, with its steep hills and uneven ground, can present a challenging but rewarding hike. The trails wind through the undulating hills, offering both rewarding elevation gains and scenic outlooks. The park is not suitable for strollers, and hikers should be prepared for more rugged conditions. It is an ideal location for those seeking a bit of adventure in the great outdoors, whether on foot or horseback, as equestrian use is also welcomed.

Pike Ridge Park officially opened on April 11, 2025, inviting hikers and equestrians to explore its vast, undisturbed beauty. Whether you are taking in the views, spotting wildlife, or simply enjoying the peace of nature, this park offers a perfect escape into the natural landscape of Stark County.
