The Meadowlands Trail is great for early spring Fox Sparrows, late spring Olive-sided Flycatchers, holds nesting Blue-winged Warblers, my only park record of Golden-winged Warbler, and also a couple of Brewster’s records. The scattered pines that rise above the grassy scrub inside the Meadowlands trail held Long-eared and Saw-whet Owls one spring.

The Meadowlands Trail (purple trail)  is a 1.5-miles loop trail that is rated an easy hike.

Quail Hollow Park features over 700 acres of rolling meadows, marshes, pine and deciduous woods surrounding a 40-room house. Scenic woodland trails, gardens and the house offer a variety of natural and cultural experiences for visitors. Operating as a state park since 1975, Stark Parks began managing the park in January of 2016.

The former H.B. Stewart family home is used for educational and community programs and events. A visitor center is located within the home. Fishing is recommended at the 2-acre Shady Lane Pond. A valid Ohio fishing license is required. Picnic areas are located in the center of the park with tables, grills, and restrooms close by.
