Hancock County Community Parks

Hancock County Community Parks

Throughout the Hancock Park District’s planning history, a cooperative effort with the City of Findlay, City of Fostoria, and villages has been an enduring partnership. In 1975, one of the Hancock Park District’s goals was to cooperate with the City of Findlay in developing and maintaining a well-rounded, year-round parks and recreation program. As a result, the HPD currently manages several city-owned and county-owned parks via cooperative agreements. Separately, the City of Findlay owns and manages 15 city parks throughout the Findlay community. Additional community parks exist in the villages of Arcadia, Bluffton, Vanlue, Mt. Blanchard, Arlington, Jenera, Rawson, Benton Ridge, Mt. Cory, McComb, and Van Buren, and in the City of Fostoria. Parks and recreational facilities are spread out among the cities and villages, located close to home, and serve as an important component of a successful county-wide park system. The Hancock Park District contributes to the success of a county-wide park system with technical assistance and financial support through annual Community Park Improvement Program Grants.
