This is a really cool park right in the city. There is a bike route that has a cool obstacle course. There is a really big hill that we got to walk up and down. There's a nice view of the rocks and water. The kids enjoying throwing rocks in. There are lots of trails to walk along. We were confused about where to find the waterfall that is advertised in the pictures. It turns out that there are multiple entrances to the park and there is a specific entrance to get you directly next to that waterfall. It is easy to see. The upper view would be accommodating towards any person, including people who can't walk very well. Then you can go down lower to where the river is and see it there as well (not for those with difficulty walking). You are allowed to wade and step in the water knee deep, but they say no swimming.

Another system in Ohio has a quarry park with some things that...
Read moreQuarry Trails Metro is a nice little park, with a mile loop, large ponds/small lakes, and a very nice waterfall (for Columbus). They are still developing it, so only part of the park is open for visitors. Pros: Nice park in the middle of the city, over 1 mile walking paths, playground, plenty of nature. Cons: massive apartments and condos being built, so the city is RIGHT THERE. No real restrooms (yet), only portable toilets, playground is lacking (no swings, only a rope jungle gym and two zip lines), and if you have a stroller, this place isn't meant for you. If you want for go for a really nice walk or a run, this is a...
