City Parks

Medford City Park

The Medford City Park was established in 1890 and consists of 100 acres. Current equipment and facilities include a bandshell, an outdoor zero entry swimming pool with locker rooms, playground equipment including an inclusive playground, rentable park shelters, public restroom facilities, tennis courts, basketball courts, softball fields with a concession stand, camping facilities, and a skatepark. The "Riverwalk" parallels the Black River for the majority of its way through the City for a leisurely stroll around the millpond. Picnic and barbecue areas are located along the paved and picturesque walkway.

Grahl Park

Grahl Park consists of 7 acres and is an integral part of a residential subdivision with pedestrian access points to surrounding neighborhoods from the west, north, and east. It boasts a baseball field, basketball court, restroom facilities, rentable park shelter, and playground equipment.

Whelen Ave Park

Newly added in 2023 the Whelen Park was an area targeted for redevelopment by the Park Project Working Committee. The vacant parking lot was renovated to include an open-air rentable park shelter with bathrooms open year round and a temperature controlled kitchen facility, and a lighted splashpad. Future development includes changes to the riverbank to allow easier access for fishing. This space is utilized throughout the summer as a location for the Farmers Market on Tuesdays.
