This was a really fun place for kids and adults! We went to celebrate a 10yr olds birthday. We strived early and rock climbed, did the challenge course, visited the nature center, and walked the wetland trail. The ladies in the nature center were so sweet and informative, while social distancing of course. Over all it was worth the trip. One draw back is that there were SO many yellow jackets! Our birthday boy got stung up on the small boulder, after seeing the yellow jackets (and getting away on the larger rock wall), and later we found a nest on the triangle-shaped climbing net as well. We had to leave to get first aid supplies from across town.
I love going to this park! Scenery is beautiful and the park/trails are well cared for! The dog park is nice and also well cared for - there is a small gated dog park and a large gated dog park and an extra gated dog park. They are all close together with 2 water fountains provided for the dogs! There is also a nice rock climbing wall and playground area as well as an obstacle course!
This is ways a great place to walk and workout ride your bike fish or run the dog! Nice to see so many masked up or social distancing.
Amazing park, very beautiful!I cant count how many frogs, and grasshoppers I saw near the pond. so much fun and so many things yu can do here, this place is a hidden gem!
Great dog park, has unique playground equipment and a nice climbing rock like structure. Trails around scenic ponds, trees and wildflowers. A paved bike trail runs along the west edge. I love this park but. You cant get away from the highway noise so it is possible to get some peace but not quiet
We had a really fun time going to the park, it wasnt too crowded. Was cool to watch the climbers!
Great place to take your pup for a walk or to the park. People are super friendly and follow the social distance rules
This is by far one of our favorite parks to go to!! My kids LOVE every aspect of it! They always have to do the obstacle course when we first get there, usually a few times just so the can beat each other lol. Then we typically head over to the water tower and walk up to the top viewing deck. You can get some great pics from there! Plus its just so beautiful and peaceful. Then we usually walk over to the pond and see what kind of animals we can see. They love finding the frogs and turtles that pop up. Then we go check out the activities inside the building if theyre open. Typically we head to the trails after that. We get a full day in every time we go there and everyone has so much fun!
One of my favorite parks to go with a bunch of different trails that gives you multiple views of the Scioto River.
An idyllic place to watch a summer sunset! Theres a ramp for setting off in a boat or kayak and several areas to cast a line and do some fishing. A nice place to sit by some water and reflect.
Service tonight started good. Placed my order and time stopped. Fithteen minutes later arrived at window to pay. My food was ready 8 minutes or so afterwards. Food was hot and tasted great.
I love this metro park...it is truly a hidden oasis in the middle of downtown Columbus. I’ve been meeting friends at the picnic shelters during the COVID-19 pandemic and it’s a great spot to have a socially distanced get together.
The dog parks there are excellent. One for big dogs one for small dogs. Lots of obstacles and things to sniff around. It can get a little muddy in spots after a big rain which our dog loves to play in.
The picnic area is the perfect spot for a socially distanced lunch!
Really enjoyed the play portion of this park. We werent able to enjoy the indoor portion, but the outdoor park was great.
Nice walking paths wide enough for walking w/strollers, dogs, running and biking next to the river with lots of birds and things to see along the way.
Fantastic place to have a family picnic. Place has a shaded sitting area, a grill, sand volleyball pit, water fountain, playground for the kids and a huge climbing/bouldering wall. On the way opposite side there is an obstacle course great for practicing for a tough mudder or Spartan race, and in between them both a great field of grass great for running practice, drills or a matching band practice.
This is a great Metro Park right in downtown. The nature center is a great surprise with a bike shop open to the public in case you need to fix your bike. The display on how the building was made is a fascinating as anything else on display. Its a nice building to cool down in while the kids play on the indoor play area. I recommend this downtown park.
Great, open space to walk, jog, or just relax. Also great resources for working out with obstacle course style workout equipment and climbing wall!!
This park is very awesome, it has a rock climbing wall and this water tower that we enjoyed our lunch at.
Me and my family come here allllllll the time love it!!
Cool views and rock climbing wall. Good place to hangout and play some beach volleyball too!
Its a great place to walk, cookout or just hang with the family
We love this park! My husband boulders and my pup and I love to walk the trails and pathway into the city. It also has a large kids park next to the rock climbing pad. We really enjoy coming down here!
Love this place...so much fun for kids or adults
Great place to be outside! My nephew and niece loved it!
Fun play area for our 2 yr old, amazing rock climbing wall, great walking paths, and has slack lines and 3 volleyball nets set up for anyone to use! The water tower boasts a great view of Columbuss skyline.
Beautiful and peaceful place. I love it
Fun place with an obstacle course and a rock wall. Decent views of the city in a calm, laid back setting.
A wonderful park, with numerous amenities including sanitary bathrooms, pleasant sitting and picnic areas, climbing walls, sand volley ball courts, playground, bocci ball courts, biking and walking paths, and a mile-loop obstacle course with a light strongman intro section including tires and stones. Quiet park, with massive wide-open grass fields, and tranquil riverside paths.
Way more than just a park.. Gotta check it out to find out.
Very nice quiet peaceful place to hangout with your pet
Great park; something for everyone; nice views.
What a great park! First time there and will definitely go back. Plenty for the whole family to do!
Great scenery, obstacle course, bathrooms, grills, great place to visit. If I lived in Columbus I would be there all the time.
Best for working out if that is what I want to to do a little military course
First time my family & I hv ever been here & we are quite impressed! My kiddos & I enjoyed everything about this park. We highly recommend this park for everyone of all ages!
Nice trails, wetland area, climbing wall, obstacle course, volleyball courts, nature center, something for everyone
Visited the dog park. OK compared to dog facilities at other Metro Parks: small area, lots of road noise from nearby I-70, helicopter noise too. People and dogs we met were very friendly and fun.
A great place to jog, run, walk, bike, and many more options! Test yourself on the obstacle course, or bring some friends and start a kickball game. The bike path backs right up to the park. There is plenty of car parking and pavilions. Take a walk on the boardwalk to see some pond friends too!
A good place to begin walking or bicycling on the tree-lined path along Scioto River.
How is this not the standard model for all parks across the country? Free rock climbing and obstacle course! Highly recommended park.
Very unique climbing wall, great view of the city, kids can climb water tower safely, other fun playground items.
One of my favorite Columbus Metro Parks, this park was built on reclaimed land of the Whittier peninsula. Its hard to believe this used to be an impound lot. It has something for everyone, trails for walking and cycling, climbing walls, obstacle course, river views, wildflowers, wetlands, dog park and more. It also sits in a major migratory bird route and is run in conjunction with the Audubon society. The Grange Audubon center is a beautiful modern building that fits into the landscape perfectly and offers places to relax, a gift shop, class rooms and event space.
Very nice place. Awesome
It okay would to clear out on the of side to also that is behind the firehouse I know that use be about fish back there it would be nice place their just a throught
Fabulous park. The wildflowers are beautiful
Fantastic metro park! Climbing wall and large outdoor obstacle course paved and gravel trails, river access and flourishing wild bird habitat. I WISH I had this park where I live!
This park has everything! If youre looking for a military style calisthenics workout youll love this park!
Absolutely gorgeous. Great equipment to workout with/on.
Absolutely Love, love, love this park!Its all there..restrooms, benches, grills, water, obstacle course, trails! Great place for everything
Really great trails and amenities. Good for pokeGo as well!
Cool park with tons of space to be active! This is great place to exercise and/or hang with friends!
A uniquely urban park within the metro park system. This park is easy to access from downtown and has some really neat features like the water tower (climb up for a view of downtown), the climbing walls, and a huge nature center. It would be nice if the drone if highway traffic wasn’t so loud at every point in the park... but it’s also nice to have a great green space right in the heart of the city!
This is one of my favorite areas to go jogging! Their trail leads straight to the downtown area and the connecting campus/Grandview jogging trails.
Great time with family... We call it the obstacle course park because we like doing that
Nice park. Some kids definitely should not have been up on that climbing wall, yikes. Well designed park ober all.
Great place for everyone including fur babies!
Amazing climbing wall, with self repel stations. 10 or more spots to hook up. Great playground. Very cool obstacle course. My children would never get bored here! Not to mention the incredible staff, knowledgeable, and so pleasant!
The egg hunt was AWESOME! The kiddo had SO much fun during the “hunt” with over 4000 eggs to claim! She also loved the play area and trying to conquer the climbing walls! A fabulous time was had by both of us and we will definitely be visiting again when it gets warmer!
Such a beautiful park tucked away near downtown.
A top tier spot for activities and enjoying nice weather
Thank you. My first Red, White, and Boom. I just moved here from Sacramento. See you next year.
My son LOVES this park! It has some unique playground equipment and also a rock climbing wall for adults. Its also fun to walk the trails with the cool view of the skyline. He likes playing in the sand by the volleyball courts. If no one is using them, its like a giant sandbox! Ive heard the nearby nature center is fun too!
Great Park. Still one of my favorite parks!
Excellent walks and activities throughout entire park.
Huge park with lots of different things to do. Climbing walls, trail, bike trails, nice river view.
Was the best view I ever seen
Access to Scioto tails, climbing and bouldering, picnic areas, functional fitness course, and close to downtown
A beautiful Parks base hidden in the center of the city.
Great place love the rock wall had a blast climbing and exploring thanks to our park recreation team
Great park to go excercise or simply walk.
One of our new favorite parks in the area. Clean and well kept. Climbing wall, obstacle course, volleyball courts, playgrounds, and a dog park! Easy to spend an entire day here!
Come enjoy the park when it reopens for the public. Great place just outside the bustle of the city.
Wonderfully developed space. It offers a dog park, nature trails, bike path, rock climbing, ponds, free parking. Great place to work out, relax, picnic or fish!
Lots of fun
Nice open Park. Very nice, it was not crowded.
Love the free rock climbing wall. The dog park is good as well. Paved trail is good for rollerblading or biking!
Love this place. one of my favorite spots to run in Columbus. The balance of the urban and rural setting is perfect to clear your mind. The rock climbing wall is a bunch of fun as well
Largest outdoor free wall in the country. Enough said
Nice park with multiple dog areas for big and small pups
This is a must stop. Night or day this is a spot you have to see. Takes bout 2 hours and there is plenty to do. Take part in the fountain and walk along cosi. The river and walk path is perfect for dogs and couples alike.
Great outdoor space. Climbing wall needs some minor maintenance. Auto belays are fantastic, great way to get people started with climbing inexpensively.
Great for biking, walking, and running. Variety of scenery from metro to nature settings.
Great dog park, rock climbing, hiking, play area at the nature center and there’s a coshare bike rental dock. Great views of the city and Sciota river.
Great place to have a good family time
This is one of the best parks in the Columbus area--and thats saying a lot. If the weather isnt conducive to outdoor activities, there is an indoor area with educational exhibits and a small library. But the outdoor area is why youre really here. Tons of bike/walking paths, a pond area to observe nature, a big climbing wall, a playground for the kids, and the water tower observation deck... plus sports fields where today there was a rugby game going on. The indoor facility is a gem that thankfully a lot of people skip over, too.
Probably the best park in Columbus-maybe Ohio!
We love visiting the climbing wall. The people climbing are usually very friendly and helpful. A great place for families to have fun outside.
Absolutely love this park. Great view of Columbus Skyline, right south outside the inner city. Climbing, obstacle course, nature walks, learning center, and dog park to name a few.... great kayaking fishing in reservoir area.
Great park for bird watching. Cool tower to climb, and overlook the city, and a cool rock climbing wall.
This is a great place to get some exercise and enjoy the outdoors.
Trails seem to be well kept, and there is a rock climbing wall next to a playground. If you plan to climb, be sure to bring gear like harness and clip, as you could get in trouble for trying to free solo the wall without the gear. In addition to that, when its not too muddy, theres an obstacle course just a couple steps away from the wall, and a water tower where you can take a good look overhead of the park.
