If you enjoy walking, this park features a paved walking track that begins at the restroom/storage building and extends around the playground equipment to the north all the way back around to the restroom/storage building (measuring approximately .20 of a mile).  You can also take a walk in the woods on the north side of the park.  There is a cleared, rugged walking trail that leads back to a pond on the north side of the park property.

This park also features new Tee-Ball fields on the North end of the park.  The fields were recently installed and boast red infield dirt and bleachers for spectators.

Tiger Trail Park

The Village with the aid of grant and zero interest loan monies has been able to develop 33 acres of ground where our well field is located on the Southwest side of the Village behind Grace Evangelical Lutheran Church just off of State Route 65 (Main Street).  This facility features youth soccer fields for all of the teams that are organized under the Jackson Center Youth Sports Organization.  Parking for soccer events is just to the South of the soccer fields.  The park also boasts a paved walking track that is approximately .66 miles around the soccer fields.  The fields and grounds are maintained by the Village of Jackson Center Parks Department.  Many of our residents enjoy staying fit on the walking track whether they are walking, running, bicycling or just enjoying a ride in their golf cart.  In the fall, the park is full of activity as the Jackson Center Youth Sports Organization ramps up the Soccer season with practices starting in August.

This is a quiet park that has residential properties to the North, Grace Evangelical Lutheran Church to the East and wooded areas to the South and West.  The Village hopes to expand this park in the future with two baseball and softball diamonds along with additional parking for those facilities.  Plans also include extending the walking track around the baseball and softball diamonds as well as adding playground equipment.
