Sells Park, also known as Sells' City Park or Sells' Park, is a public park in Athens, Ohio, near Ohio University. It is claimed to be "one of Athens’s best hidden treasures."[2] It comprises 22.5 acres (980,491.87 ft²), and includes Sells Pond, a 1876.03 square yard (1,568.60 m²) pond.

Park trails

Sells Park is part of The Athens Trail Network, a multi-use trail network branching out from Sells Park itself.[3] A series of twelve trails and connectors branch out into the surrounding woods, heading eastwards to eventually connect with the trails of Strouds Run State Park. The trails are designed for hiking, running, and biking, although some sections are off-limits to bicycles. The trails provide scenic views of the East State Street commercial area and travel past and through notable features such as Sells Pond, Riddle State Nature Preserve (also known as Hawk Woods), Boulder Cove, Turtlehead Cave (also known as Blue Ash Rockhouse), Finger Rock, Pioneer Cemetery, and Dow Lake at Strouds Run State Park. The trail network is maintained by community and university volunteers.[4]

History

Sells Park was formerly owned by the Sells family until it was given to the United States in 1939, and turned into a federal reserve. It was later ceded by the United States to Athens, Ohio, in 1979.[5] A large portion of western Strouds Run as well as possibly a small portion of Sells Park as a were also previously owned by the Gillett family, sometime before 1939.{{citation needed|date=March 2018}}
