Big Creek Park was the first property purchased by the Canton Park District for park development. A scenic drive winds through the park's gently rolling, oak-hickory-maple forest, an island amid the adjacent urban thoroughfares. In addition to its scenic beauty, the park also features a hiking trail, lighted tennis courts, skate park, disc golf, picnic shelter, swimming pool, bocce ball court, and senior/teen center. The park also hosts numerous special programs throughout the year, such as a senior arts and crafts group which meets every Friday 12pm-3pm at the Senior Center, a "Spook Trail" during the Halloween season, and disc golf tournaments, among others.
