Millikin Woods

Formerly Stahlheber Woods, Millikin Woods was renamed in 1950 in honor of Dr. Mark Millikin who, among other things, is responsible for the city’s charter. The original entrance gates to the park are located at the west end of Ross Ave. The gates and large octagonal shelter houses were built in the 1930’s by the Works Progress Administration (WPA). Washington Blvd. was extended through the park in 2003 allowing easier access to the park and its amenities.
