Tinkers Creek State Park is a fun outdoor place in Streetsboro, Ohio, Portage County, Ohio, United States. It's also known as the Tinkers Creek Area and is part of Liberty Park. This park has small lakes and wet areas called marshes. These places are perfect homes for animals like beavers and many kinds of waterfowl (birds that live near water).
The park offers many cool activities. You can try archery, fish in a lake fed by natural springs, or explore hiking trails. It's also a great spot for a picnic with family and friends.
History of Tinkers Creek State Park
Before it became a state park, this land was a private park called Colonial Spring Gardens. The State of Ohio bought the land in 1966. Then, in 1973, it officially opened as Tinkers Creek State Park.
In 2014, a group called Summit Metro Parks made an agreement. They decided to help manage Tinkers Creek State Park. They also manage the Tinkers Creek State Nature Preserve, which is right next to the park. This agreement helps keep the park special for everyone to enjoy.
