Infirmary Mound Park has the “home office” for the Licking Parks District, so it gets more attention, and more traffic, than the other parks. The “grassland” has not been maintained as such, and rarely supports typical grassland birds such as Bobolinks. However, there are several good woodland and riparian trails. Sometimes Northern Harriers are seen, and in spring the migrating warblers can be very good. There is a Bluebird trail, as well, and a fishing pond that might have waterfowl when not frozen. Woodcocks regularly appear in late February or March.

The 316-acre Infirmary Mound Park preserves the prehistoric “Infirmary Mound.” Facilities include picnic tables and shelter houses, fishing, walking, hiking, and equestrian trails, small playground areas, and sledding (in winter).
