I have been wanting to check out the canopy walk at Blacklick for a while now - maybe a couple…read moreyears?! Well, yesterday - a girlfriend, my daughter, and I finally went and had a good time! We enjoyed a hike on the paved trail - I'm not sure how many trails there are or how many are paved, but this was a four-mile trail. It was a nice and smooth trail! If you're looking for calm/quiet hike - this may not be the metro park for you. You hear a lot of noise - cars rushing by, we heard a guy on a PA system not too far away, etc. Also, it could be because of where we parked, but I didn't see many signs for different paths/trails like at other metro parks. We went with the paved one since it was the closest to where we parked, but that's about it. We didn't see any signs for other paths/trails throughout the four-mile hike either. The canopy walk was fun! It was my favorite park of our hike! However, be prepared for lots of steps to get up to the canopies! While I consider myself fairly in shape, I was out of breath by the time I got to the top. For those of you worried about the steps, there is an elevator to get to the canopies as well! We had some cute photos opps and enjoyed our time in the "newer" area. There's a tiny kids area up there too! The only "concern" we had while up there was a tall tree that was swaying. The concern was more for the hikers below - not for those up at the canopies. Overall, we had a fun experience! I would definitely recommend Blacklick Woods Metro Park for a nice change of scenery and for the canopy walk!

The short hike through the woods took us to the canopy that reminded me of an old wooden rollercoaster. We followed the trail to the Nature Preserve Center. It was small but very clean and also had a nice bathroom and water fountain inside. They also had frogs, snakes, fishes and turtles in little cages and a little play area inside and outside for small kids. We walked under the whimsical string lights to the canopy and climbed the steps up. The view was stunning! We were very high up. The top had a rope bridge that was a bit scary because I am afraid of heights and there was also a fireman's pole you can slide down just one floor. It was so nice up there! I just wished we had sunshine. We walked the longer trail back to our cars. It was paved and clean. There were a few other hikers, runners and bikers but it was pretty quiet. I absolutely enjoyed this park. I had over 11,000 steps when I got back to my car. It went by so quick I didn't even feel tired. I can't wait to take my family there.

We came looking for a playground, and there doesn't appear to be one. So, K was disappointed. But…read moreit looks like a pretty cool park. Well out in the countryside, with a big pond and several smaller wetland areas. Observation paths and decks for each. Parking and facilities at the main entrance, plus parking on the other side of the pond, and two smaller picnic areas up the road, with observation areas and shelters. One had a workout area, but not quite the playground we wanted. I didn't see bike paths, which is another feature I like in a park. But that's not really the purpose of this one- they're preserving the wetlands, and keeping human impact to a minimum.

All in all it's a pretty relaxing spot!

I hope this park is always part of the Reynoldsburg community.

Will definitely go back to Three Kitchen, the food and ambience of the restaurant were good and the service was equally good.

There were people jogging, and the main trail was even cleared from the snow. At the entrance, you can find a few outdoor game options year round. Connect four and cornhole to name a few. There's a section where 3 creeks (Alum, Blacklick, and Big Walnut) meet and converge into Alum Creek. There's also a nice lookout, bridge, and a loop trail. I'll be back!

There are a few short trails around that let you explore the woods a bit. The trails are nicely mulched, although the mulch level was a bit high at the time of our visit, making it a bit challenging for the pint-sized members to wade through. We accessed the trails via the grassy area to the right when facing the lake from the parking lot near the entrance (there is a second parking lot further back, located between the restrooms and a shelterhouse with picnic tables). The trail comes to a fork, and taking the one to the right took us out to a nice viewing area for the nearby creek. We then backtracked to the fork and headed to the left, which took us along the back edge of the lake through the woods, which helped with the heat and let us look for some animals. This trail brought us to the shelterhouse and we followed the paved drive back to the front parking area. Enjoyable place for a visit!

There are several playground areas, fairly far apart but in the same part of the park. Baby K liked them. No benches nearby for us old parents. No drinking fountains or anything, that I saw, or picnic tables, etc. Looks like they might be building a bathroom between the YMCA and the playground. There's a large parking lot in front of the YMCA, and then there's a smaller one down on the lower level. The lower level is mostly walking trails and flowers. There are shelters in both areas.
