There were no signs or colors for trails along the way.

We brought snacks and enjoyed them under a shady tree near one of the lakes but could have also chosen a picnic table. The park is incredibly clean as there are no trash cans... you take your trash with you. The park is beautiful and peaceful. Well taken care of. Will return when we pass through Ohio again in the future.

Nearby is a solar picnic pavilion that generates solar power and offers great shade and picnic tables to take a break from all of the fun. There's a large pond near the parking lot, a memorial located behind the municipal buildings and police department, and winding paved paths that take you around to all of the sights and sounds of the park. The parking lot is good sized and offers some EV charging stations.

Super cute! Has a playground in one side and splash pad in the other side! My kids love it!read more

There is a paved trail and plenty of space to run around and enjoy, with trees around for shade. The larger playground, called the Discovery Playground, has a whole lot of options: slides, swings (tire and standard), climbing structures, monkey bars, dinos to ride on, and a whole lot more! It was highly approved and much enjoyed. There is a small parking lot available too.

Two playgrounds in the park itself, one small but good, the other big and excellent. Plus, two playgrounds at the elementary school next door.

This is where the town has its annual fireworks show. It doesn't usually have much going on in it. It has the features of most parks. There's a couple playground areas with modern equipment in them. It has a frisbee golf course. There's also a swimming pool. Because this is in Plain City, it doesn't get too crowded. The annual fireworks show in July is the busiest time. Pretty nice overall. It's a good park for a town like Plain City. There's usually not too many people.

We were worn out by the time we saw that.) The main playground by the shelter and the service building is big, with multiple areas, and is accessible for almost anyone- stairs on several sides, and a level access off to the right. There's a music machine, always popular. Lots of climbing stuff and slides. Some games. Musical areas, mazes, balancing stuff, and more. Shades on the top of most of it, though the slides can get hot. Also plenty of benches, though no shade for those. Dublin has a lot of good parks. This is right up there. Worth a detour if you have kids.

It's really relaxing to watch the water and wildlife from the bridges. There are several athletic fields, including some very nice baseball diamonds, and a shelterhouse with restrooms. The playground is located near the ponds and is extremely cool! It is nicely worked into the landscape, taking advantage of varying heights with a lot of neat ways to get up and down to the various levels, from boulders to jump on, giant stone steps to take, slides, stumps to step on, and the like. There is a great zip line that kids can easily work themselves, and it really picks up some great speed. There are climbing walls, nets, and musical elements. It looks like there is a really nice water play area during the warmer months - it has a nice flow down the hill, over rocks, under logs, and ending in a sand area. We definitely want to come back again when it's warm to check that out. A paved multi-use trail is also available. We really enjoyed this park!

Therefore this park then…read morebecomes the next place that comes up in that conversation where I take my pet besides my dream home, the Prairie Oaks Metro Park of course! Prairie Oaks reminds me of the days when I was a child and would wander free running much like my dog around parks. I truly miss those good ole days but try to relive my childhood through my pet who is much like a little child. This park has over so many acres of land for dirt paths, woods, ponds, etc. What is there not to love about this place? Except why I don't live nearby! I swear if this was much conveniently closer, Bella and I would be visiting this place on a daily basis for walks and play time. There's nothing like being in a metro park with fresh air and beautiful nature surrounding you. I cannot wait to come back here during a nice beautiful day with my husband and dog Bella enjoying what nature has to offer at Prairie Oaks Metro Park.

Many of the Metro Parks, though you can take your furry friend, do not allow pets on many of the trails. And if they do, it's a boring paved trail. Not at Prairie Oaks! This place loves dogs! Pets are allowed on basically every trail- and some are gravel, some are beautiful dirt paths, all through the woods and around the ponds and through the prairies- simply gorgeous!! There is even an off-leash area where your pup can hop in the water and splash around! I've always though this park to be too much of a drive, so I hadn't gone until now. But it's only ten miles outside the West Outerbelt, and only about a mile off the freeway- very convenient, and you feel like you're much farther away from the city than you are. I can't wait to go back. Maybe I'll go today!
