This park is secluded even though it is so close to North High Street. The parking lot is very small in and it seemed like many of the people at the park visit by walking or biking from close by, or come from Olentangy Trail.
There is a nice little playground with many climbing areas and both small and large sizes, catering to both toddlers and older kids. We came specifically for the playground and my little one loved it.
There are many benches, one covered seating/picnic area, tennis courts, lots of open grassy area, the Olentangy Trail and some areas where you can go up to the water.
If you go in the morning, the playground is fairly empty. Even as it got to the afternoon, it wasn't that crowded. Many families come to the playground, and many dog owners bring their dogs to run around or train.

The playground is in great shape and is usually very clean. Same goes for the shelters.
Finally, along the river there are several little trails that weave in and out of the woods. Walk in and you suddenly feel like you are out of the city!
Overall, this park is the gem of the neighborhood. I find that many people are willing to drive over just...
Read moreThere's a picnic area in what appears to be a dog park. In any case there was a group of people with about six dogs, one of which--a large, slobbering St. Bernard--sauntered toward my wife and I, who were attempting to enjoy an outdoor meal on our anniversary. Impending doom crept up in our guts as the dog invaded our space, drooling all over my thigh while sniffing at our Mya's fried chicken. Its owner, a very uninterested and slow woman, eventually made it over to our location to finally utter a flat, disingenuous apology and remove it. She didn't bother to apologize the second time it traversed the seventy yards between her and the doggless couple trying to enjoy a...
