Imagine stepping out of your workplace at the end of the day and exploring miles of hiking trails—or hunting pheasant for an hour or two before going out to your favorite restaurant. Maybe you’d rather wind down with a round or two of golf. The opportunities for outdoor fun are as vast as our sweeping, hilly landscape.
That’s what making a living and having a life is all about.
It’s easy to enjoy the scenic charm of Valley City in our public swimming pool, skate park, municipal golf course, or one of our seven city parks. If you’re in the mood for fishing, boating, skiing or camping, Lake Ashtabula is only 12 miles away and many other natural hotspots are nearby. The area has plenty to do outdoors in the wintertime, like cross-country and downhill skiing, but if you prefer to stay indoors, you can stay active year-round with the Valley City Parks & Recreation Fitness Center.
