SIPPO LAKE PARK

Sippo Lake Park features three entrances: Perry Drive NW, 12th Street NW, and Genoa Avenue NW.

The park district Administrative Office is located at 5300 Tyner St. NW, Canton, OH 44708, off of Perry Drive.

The Exploration Gateway (at 5712 12th St. NW, Canton, OH 44708) opened in June 2007 in partnership with the Stark County District Library. This new facility, which houses the park district's educational programming staff, is a gateway to nature, culture, and life-long learning. It also features three community rooms, a distance learning lab, and the Herbert W. Hoover Foundation science classroom. The Congressman Ralph Regula Canalway Center Exhibit Hall highlights the natural and cultural history of the Ohio & Erie Canalway and The Lily Pad Gift Shop features a variety of locally made products and gifts. 

The Sanders Wildlife Rehabilitation Center and the Public Safety/Operations departments are located at the Genoa Avenue entrance (800 Genoa Ave NW, Massillon, OH 44708).

Sippo Lake Park was purchased in 1977 with a Community Development Block Grant because of its central location between two of Stark County's major cities. It provides visitors with a variety of amenities, programs, and 202 acres of deciduous forest, wetlands, old fields, and mixed shrub areas. Featuring a variety of habitats for wildlife viewing, this quiet urban oasis is home to a large number of bird species, including blue herons and other waterfowl. The songs of spring peepers, frogs, and toads also enliven evening sunsets along the shoreline of the 100-acre lake. The bluegill, crappie, carp, catfish, yellow perch, and bass that make Sippo Lake their home often jump right out of the water in the lake's early morning mist.
