Litchfield Park’s city parks are intended for residents but are open to the general public.

Company Town History and Wigwam Resort

The P.W. Litchfield Heritage Center tells the story of Litchfield Park as a company town through photographs and artifacts. Its exhibits cover the period from 1917 to 1959. This time frame gives the local history a span of several decades.

The history of the Wigwam Resort offers another historical perspective. Originally called “Organization House,” it was first built as simple lodging for visitors of Goodyear Tire executives from Akron, Ohio. In November 1929, it was expanded into a public resort. The change from guest quarters to a public resort marked a shift in its original function. The 1929 expansion and the presentation of company town history from 1917 to 1959 are distinct historical points of interest in Litchfield Park.

Farmers Market and Live Concerts

Litchfield Park’s special events program includes live concerts. If a concert is important to your trip, check the event date and compare it with your travel dates.
