Scioto Park — Attraction in Washington Township

Scioto Park is a nice little quiet place for a quick little getaway for those who like the outdoors.

The major draw of the park is the Chief Leatherlips Monument. The Chief is a major part of local history for his ability to negotiate with the white settlers moving into the area. The nickname "Leatherlips" came from the settlers because he was known to always keep his word. Ironically, the statue has no lips at all.

You can actually climb to the top of the statue and look out over the Scioto River. It's a great photo opp. BONUS! The statue is completely wheelchair accessible.

There's a huge open field for those who want to play catch, or a little touch football. I've seen people training their dogs there and having great fun. During the winter it's a great sledding hill for the kids and those who are kids at heart. There are plenty of picnic tables and a couple of large pavilions for gatherings.

For those who like boating, canoeing, or kayaking there's easy access to the Scioto River, but the current can be strong. I advise anyone in a kayak or canoe to start out going up stream until you can't paddle anymore, then turn around and let the current take you back to your...

Visited this park for a reserved party under one of the shelters. 1)The bathroom location is not handicapped friendly. There's 3 flights of stairs or a steep vehicle ramp. Handicapped people must be driven to the restroom 2) parking is minimal when there's 2-3 events happening at the same time so when you drive to tue bathroom, your parking space will be taken 3) I didn't see any properly signed spaces reserved for handicapped people. 4) the women's restroom had NO SOAP 5) the women's restroom HAD NO RUNNING SINK WATER 6) there weren't even hand sanitizer stands🥴 Clearly the city of Dublin doesn't care about sanitation or the health of its community and visitors. All of this AFTER experiencing something as horrible as COVID! I'm really at a loss for explanation. Are the residents of Dublin not paying enough taxes to fund clean running water at the parks? I do not recommend this park for events if they can't supply soap and turn on the water...
