Park Rental Information

Riverfront Walkway/Bikeway Corridor

Hoback Park offers a wonderful summer walk along the Licking River from Heath High School through the park to Irving-Wick Drive East. With grant funds, the corridor was extended to the River Oaks subdivision and when the bridge on State Route 79 underwent renovation, an under-bridge bikeway was included to allow safe passage across State Route 79. By fall of 2006, the bikeway will connect to the Heath City Water Park and by 2007, a tunnel underneath Irving-Wick Drive East will be completed to ensure a safe crossing.
