Parks and Recreation

Hudson has always valued its open spaces and walkable downtown. Our connectivity plan takes it a step further, encouraging biking and enjoying all of our wonderful parks.

PARKS

Hudson Springs Park, one of the jewels of the city park system was named one of Boomer Magazine’s “five best hikes.”

But that’s not all we have to brag about.

With twenty parks and over 1100 acres, Hudson has ample opportunities to have fun outdoors.

Overall, the park system offers activities such as fishing, boating, bocce, sand volleyball, disc golf, ball games, skateboarding, hiking, and gardening. Playgrounds for youngsters and tables are also available at many of our parks.

SWIMMING

A public swimming pool is available at East Woods School on North Hayden Park Drive. The Ada Cooper Miller Natatorium is named in honor of one of our most dedicated, and longest lived, citizens. Mrs. Miller was born in 1903 in England and came over with her family at age three months, to join her father–the landscape gardener at Evamere. Mrs. Miller served on Hudson School Board for 40 years, president for over twenty. This was in addition to working at her flower business for over 75 years. Sadly, she passed away in 2015, but one mark of her legacy lives on at the schools–the Ada Cooper Miller Natatorium.
