Stark Parks launches ‘One Hundred Years at the Hollow’ campaign to restore Quail Hollow Park

Stark Parks has announced grant funding support for the One Hundred Years at the Hollow capital campaign. The campaign builds on key priorities identified in the Quail Hollow Park Master Plan, completed in 2017. Planned improvements at the Hartville park include the preservation of historic facilities, upgrades to public use and educational spaces, accessibility enhancements to historic buildings and overall improvements to the visitor experience.

“We are excited to embark on this journey to improve services for everyone that visits Quail Hollow Park,” said Dan Moeglin, executive director. “As community stewards of this historic property, a true gem in our community, it is imperative that we work collaboratively to restore and position Quail Hollow Park for the next 100 years as a regional public asset.”

Stark Parks began planning and seeking funding for the project in 2023. The campaign goal is to raise nearly $3 million to complete the proposed work by 2029, the 100th anniversary of the Stewart Manor House at Quail Hollow Park. In 2024, Stark Parks secured state capital funds to begin design work for accessibility improvements, carriage house renovations and parking improvements.

To date, funding support has been provided by Community Development Block Grant funding; state demolition funds for the removal of the Levitt House; the Stark Community Foundation’s Community Charitable Fund; the Lemmon Foundation; the Paul and Carol David Foundation; the Deuble Foundation; the Hoover Foundation; the Timken Foundation; and the W. Henry Hoover Fund, the Paul C. and Thelma M. Dale Philanthropic Fund, and the Peter and Patricia Ashton Charitable Fund at the Stark Community Foundation.

Stark Parks will continue pursuing grant opportunities, state capital funding and individual contributions through 2029. For more information, visit StarkParks.com/Quail100 or call 330-477-3552.
