Art park, activity park, and children's playground, the park has something for all. it is found beside Greensview Elementary off Windham Road. Parking is outside the historical Amelita Mirolo Barn which has been redeveloped into a venue. A full size basketball court. . . (And this is where I accidentally posted the review two weeks ago. Lol! My apologies!) A full size basketball court, a hard tennis court, a rollar hockey rink, and full playground with some of the most impressive children complex are here. A fishing pond, trails, a play town, and a little library for art are found. It is a cool place for all!

There are informational signs available explaining its history and how it was moved. Catch and release fishing is allowed in the pond, though it seems they may be having a lot of goose issues, since the area was absolutely covered goose poop on our visit. There are sports fields and courts (tennis, basketball, etc) and a walking path around the area. It is also located adjacent to the Greensview Elementary School, where a playground and the Safety Town play area are located for non-school days. There is a nice large parking lot available, and it's very walkable from the area neighborhoods.

The park is big, with lots of grass, lots of shade, a service building with bathrooms, tennis courts and ballfields, etc. At least two parking lots, near various areas. Paths between the areas, sometimes through woods. Very nice.

This was my first time to visit the Park of Roses although my wife has been here several times in…read morethe past. We were here 4th week of June which means we missed the PEAK blossoms. Their website says that the peak time to visit in EARLY JUNE but our schedules didn't gibe with visiting in early June. Despite missing the PEAK, we were still able to see many gorgeous displays and blossoms. There are more differnt kinds of roses than I knew exisied. There is even a section devoted to HERTIAGE roses - that is roses cultivated BEFORE 1867 which, according to their literature was the birth of the era of today's roses. Whetstone Park is a huge park and the Park of Roses is just a part of the larger park. NOTE - there are no restrooms in the Park of Roses. There must be restrooms elsewhere in the park but they were not evident from the Park of Roses. This is well worth visiting and I'm going to mark my calendar to visit during EARLY JUNE next year.

This park can be found hidden beneath the streets of Clintonville residents, down in the ravine,…read morewhere water flows and wildlife takes over. I would have never known this was here if a friend didn't live nearby and tell me all about it. On my visit I accessed the park by traveling down some steep stairs and crossing a little bridge that gets you across the small creek that runs through. I quickly discovered a handful of miniature trails that sprawl out from the center of the park and into the little crevasses of the neighborhood bordering the area. I noticed a good number of other park goers, several super happy pups, and unfortunately a ton of trash. This is obviously what caused me to dock a star from my rating, such a bummer. Clean up after yourself people, there was seriously trash everywhere. My favorite part about this park is the tunnel with the giant birds painted across it. The acoustics once you're inside are major and during my visit there was a young man playing a flute. The sound carried so beautifully, it made my day. My second favorite part was spotting an owl high up in a tree. Owls are definitely my spirit animal, so cool! I'll definitely be back to this park. Fingers crossed it's cleaned up a bit.

There are a few different ways to enter the park - pay attention to signage indicating private property areas and to when some entrances are closed (i.e. during the winter, the steps may be closed if ice is a concern). There's a main path running through the park, next to which are various signs explaining the history and nature of the area, which runs into the tunnel with the beautiful bird paintings, which is, unfortunately, showing its age these days. Other paths branch off, allowing you to explore the nearby woods, and you can also go down what used to be an old street and enjoy that too. It's a nice place to explore near the city!

It's almost a SIN to be indoors this time of the year, so as soon as the indoor stuff was over, I googled nearby parks and decided to check out Duranceaux. Small(ish), clean, quiet, scenic, right on the river, with just a few people walking their dogs, playing on the playground, and flying kites, what more could you ask for?? There is a nice looking educational facility available for groups on one end of the park and what appears to be an OSU boathouse on the other end. If you're from this area, maybe you're already away of this great, tucked away, "secret" spot, but I got the feeling even a few locals might not know it's there. Worth checking out... ENJOY!!

We entered from the north, but if…read moreyou're going to the playground (as we were) or the shelters, nature center, etc., I suggest entering off Dublin Rd. The long drive down has plenty of picnic tables, etc., but not many spots to park. The playground is small, but nice. Right near a shelter, with a lot nearby. Shade and benches handy for the grownups. There's a big building that looks like a lodge house, where a wedding was going on. Signs say there is an "education center"- may just be a nature trail? It's south of the playground somewhere. A great resource for the community, and worth a return for more than just the playground.

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!
