Paw Paw trees in bulbs above ground since April !! And then more trees delivered in the fall meeting the same doom !! Sycamores, Tulip, and Oaks All sitting above ground !! Several months now! The staff at the park have even gone as far as hiding the trees! So it LOOKS like they are proper stewards of the park Which they are not. See examples below

This nature preserve is beautiful. At first glance, it doesn't look like much. You park in the…read moreparking lot and it looks rather urban. But when you walk down the stairs, you're suddenly transported to a peaceful spot in nature. Now, about those stairs. They are pretty steep, and there are many of them, and I'm not sure there's any other way to get down the to nature preserve without walking down the stairs. Unless there's another way to get down there that I don't know about, this isn't a wheelchair- or stroller-friendly park. Once you're down the steps, you walk down a boardwalk that takes you to a beautiful waterfall. All in all, it takes maybe less than a minute to walk from the end of the step to the waterfall -- it's really rather close. Along the way, you will see beautiful plants and trees, and as you get closer, you'll hear the sound of the water rushing until you actually reach it. It's kind of amazing to see a waterfall up close -- it's very soothing to the spirit. In the winter, I've read that the waterfall will sometimes freeze over, so you can see it in a whole new way. The boardwalk ends at the waterfall, and it's a one-way trek there and back. The trail does not loop. This is an easy and fun walk for young kids especially. I had kids with me and we were done with the walk and had seen everything in about 10 to 15 minutes. I like efficient hikes like this.

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!!

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.

Another beautiful place in Dublin to spot gorgeous waterfalls. Indian Run Falls is an unassuming…read morepark -- it's tucked in a spot right off a major street. But once you start heading onto the path, you discover that there is more to this place than you see from the parking lot. If you want to get right next to some small waterfalls, like touch them with your fingers, this is the place to visit. The waterfalls are smaller, but I liked that we could get up close to the water and experience it in a tactile way. Being right up in the water's business allowed for some really great photos, too -- the waterfall area is a great place to take photos. The hike through Indiana Run Falls is very easy, but there are some areas that require walking up and down steps, so it might not be the easiest hike for someone in a wheelchair or pushing a stroller. Otherwise, this is a great place to visit, and it's a good hike for kids because it's very short and sweet.

In total, it runs 6.1 miles from Main Street in Old Hilliard to Plain City, though we did not go the full length on our most recent visit. Its path winds along some nice stops if you want or need them, such as the Heritage Trail Dog Park (parking and port-a-potty available, in addition to the dog park of the name in case you've got a four-legged friend with you that wants some extra play) and Homestead Metro Park (parking and restrooms available, plus playgrounds and a train to explore, if you've got a kiddo with you that wants some extra play).

Plenty of parking, well-kept, easy to get to. I went to ride my bike, and that's where things went a bit downhill. There's not much room to ride in the park- great for kids, not for anyone interested in a longer ride. The paths connect to the Mudsock trail, which is mostly gravel. On the other end you can try to get to Hilliard Municipal park, which isn't much better. I recommend the many fine trails in other parts of central Ohio. In Hilliard, maybe start at Homestead Park and work north.

There's a creek here that they recently restored back to its original winding way and replanted native trees and plants. They also put a new bridge over it. It looks decent now. It had been just a straight trench filled with mostly stagnant water. In the 1800's the creek had been straightened for farm irrigation. Now it has been restored back to its original natural look. There's a paved trail that goes around the pond. It's good for joggers and bike riders or your kid's power wheels. There's plenty of parking here and a portapottie if you can stomach it. I usually just hold my pee.
