I often participate in Metroparks Winter Hike programs, and had to visit this location in the evening after work.

The bench in the middle of nowhere Demanded it's picture be taken and I actually sat there quietly for a few minutes. It was very restorative I would return to this park to walk my dog on the loop.

The parking lot is good sized and offers some EV charging stations.

There is parking located right next to the play area, which is mostly fenced. The large wooden castle structures are sure to draw the eye. There is a ton for kids to explore - plenty of things to climb, jump, slide, etc on. There is also a little free library (though it was empty on our recent visit - perhaps it is stocked during the school year?), a sand box type area, though it appeared to be filled with dirt (which my kid loves so it was a huge win), kid-sized picnic tables, a log seat and table combo, swings (traditional, tire, and accessible) and more. There are a couple spots of shade with seating located around the playground, which was great for a hot, sunny day. Very fun playground!

This is park central for Hilliard P&R, with its main community center, its premier public pool, and…read morea variety of sport facilities in the eight-acre spread. Accessed from Scioto-Darby bordering its north, the park is tucked between neighborhoods, fields, and golf courses. Mark K. mentioned in his review circa 2015 that there was no easy bike connection between Homestead park and here. In the five years since that weakness has been rectified with an off-road bike path running down Lappert Rd. This is the way I cycled here. Just turn south from the Heritage Trail, left at the round-a-bout at Darby, and cross the street into the bike access. The park was eerily silent for the sunny summer Saturday I visited on my ride. Normally you'd expect the place to be jumping on such a gorgeous day, but the pandemic has damper things. Connected to that fact, the public pool here is closed for the year. Normally, the Family Aquatic Center, as it is called, would be full of swimmers using its leisure pool, sports pool, lazy river, slides, and children sections. Now it has a weird, abandon amusement park feel, with the rides sticking up like ruins over the wall, and ghostly echoes of screams, laughs, and splashes that should be here coming to mine in the quiet. What I call a 'sports park' the grounds hold fields for baseball/softball, lacrosse, soccer, and disk golf. Basketball courts and tennis are of course are found, as well as horseshoe ring. There is a small amphitheater and a large sledding hill half-mooning the grounds like a Native American mound. There are some art park landscaping here, especially near the fishing pond, a rustic body split by a wood bridge. There are several shelter houses here to rent. The running/riding trail isn't all that great, but it does breeze through the heart of the park. There are several connectors that leads to and from the surrounding neighborhoods. There is also a rustic food garden found here. On the east is a Veterans Memorial garden with colorful flowers, waving flags, and reflective stones ingrained with locals who gave the ultimate price. In all a good city park with lots of amenities, easy access, and just enough artwork to give it character.

There are a variety of climbing options, tunnels, slides, and the like. The 5-12 section looks like a tree house of sorts, with ways to climb up the inside and some creative climbing features aboveground. In addition to the baby and traditional style swings, there is also now a disk swing. There is still plentiful shade and picnic tables, plus a little greenspace. The little pull off does fill up quickly during busy times, but there is street parking available further in the adjacent neighborhood too.

Great Park!! We went to the splash park at around 1pm on a Wednesday in August. There were only…read morearound 10 kids playing. I hear that the splash park in Dublin is really crowded, this would be a great alternative. There is also a nice looking playground, tennis courts, basketball courts, and a shelter house with picnic tables. The only unsightly thing about the park were the racist comments spray painted on the rec center there. But as we were leaving, some men from the city were there to clean it up. I highly recommend this park/splash park.

The playground is mid-sized and has loads of options- climbing, swings, slides, and more. Benches for tired parents. We weren't sure the playground was there when we pulled in the lot.

Easy access off the not-busy end of Tuttle. Also a playground across the street at the school.

The park is located next to a neighborhood, so it might be possible to extend a walk/jog by heading that way. There's a small parking lot right off of Tuttle Road.

Lots of ramps and "bridges," many wheels and things to play with like tic tac toe boards, etc. A few slides and climbing areas. Baby K loved it, and when she fell, on the rubber "ground," she was fine and wanted to keep playing. A great playground, and with another nearby in the park, part of a 'two-fer' that we will surely be back to.

The Junto Hotel faces it as well and there is a great coffee house (Maudines) inside if you need a drink or a snack!

On our recent visit, a lot of stuff was in bloom, which gave us the opportunity to fully appreciate several of the gardens that are at their peak now: the pollinator garden, the butterfly garden, and the rain garden, all of which also have accompanying signage. There's a nice large play area with some more unique play sets than typically seen at a playground, though it does offer swings and plenty of things to climb on. There are also benches and bench swings and a number of umbrella tables on the plaza for picnicking. There is a fountain water play section, though the water was off on our recent visit. A music garden offers fun interactive opportunities to try out a wide variety of musical instruments. There's also a very neat dinosaur sculpture garden that showcases fossil sculptures of a variety of dinos! A game area offers the chance to do some ping pong/table tennis or play corn hole. The Science Spectrum sculpture, whose "leaves" move around and catch the light, creating rainbow-y looks is a fun addition. This is a fun area to explore, and it is conveniently located in front of COSI, near the Scioto Mile.
