Hartwood Acres

Hartwood Acres features a mixed hardwood forest where stately red and white oak, sugar maple, black cherry, shagbark hickory, red maple and American beech grow throughout. The 629-acre park is about 75% forested land and 25 % land maintained as parkscape or lawn.

The forested areas have largely had hands-off management as natural areas during the tenure of the park. Some of the oldest trees include black oak over 200 years old, as well as sugar maple and red oak that are approaching 200 years of age.
