This review is for the Senior Center Program Pass. For residents, it only costs $24, and the Senior…read moreCenter has many classes and amenities. I took the Fearless Falling class, held between 3:00 to 4:00 on Wednesdays and I learned so much. The senior lunch on Wednesdays and Fridays is only $4; you may choose to dine in or takeaway. Near the dining hall sits a huge cabinet filled with puzzles ranging from 300 to 1,000 pieces. Their generous policy is that you may bring puzzles or take as many puzzles as you like. The pool tables are always in use by smiling gentlemen and ladies. There is a quilt drop-in a couple of days a week. I'm impressed with how upbeat and cheery everyone is and I'm glad the city has created such a welcoming space for its seniors.

Even though I live in Westerville (license says Westerville, bills say Westerville, literally live…read morenext to Westerville Central Highschool) they said I am not eligible for resident rates. So ridiculous & I'm not paying an extra $24 a month for the "nonresident rate" when I do live IN WESTERVILLE... Facilities look nice & i would've loved to use them, but not for that monthly price I guess I'll be going elsewhere.

I can't recommend this place enough. I walked in with 4 toddlers aged between 1 and 5 and Tricia…read morewas helpful seeing I had my hands full.

My boys love this place, and we've been coming for a while now…read more It can get rowdy, so it's harder if you have younger kids - my boys are almost 8 and 10 and can handle pretty much anything thrown at them by older kids (and I feel like 99% of the time, the older kids in there are respectful to the little ones around them). The staff tends to be on the younger side when I've come, but they enforce the rules fairly and I have never felt like they were neglectful about their duties (sometimes that's just ringing me up, sometimes it's answering my boys' questions - they've always been good). I still don't fully understand why the owner has their own reserved parking space, though.

Was going to take my daughter here to get some energy out. I stopped in to check it out and ask the…read moreprice. When you walk in it smells dirty like a McDonald's playground. The equipment was visibly dirty. Honestly the whole place was just run down there were pieces of the baseboards falling off, the wood exposed. The lady at the front seemed unengaged. I asked the price for my 3 year old and she told me you are required to buy their socks on top of the admission and it was $20 all together. For a 3 year old. For $20 for one kid the place should have been in a lot better shape. I would not recommend going here especially. It's not worth it. I've been told to check out the Hilliard location cause it's in way better condition.

Recently had my son's 2nd birthday party here and this place is great! Plenty of space and tons of…read moreactivities. There are balls, trampolines, ball pits, slides, and tons of other typical playground equipment. They also include drinks, plates, tablecloths, and silverware. I think there is also a deluxe party option where they decorate for you but I just came 15 minutes early and brought decorations. We chose the party size for 30 people and there was plenty of space and all of the kids had a blast. I was worried that some of my friend's kids that are 5 and 6 might get bored quickly based on the reviews but none of the kids wanted to leave. My son is the youngest of the bunch, and if anything, he struggled a little bit on his own a bit getting stuck in one of the tubes and running into the carousel and definitely needed to be followed around closely. But overall he had an amazing time and did not want to open his presents or eat his cake because he was having so much fun! Pricing was reasonable and the location was clean and staff were friendly and helpful! Having a birthday party here is probably a one time thing but we will definitely come back on a cold or rainy day and I recommend if you are looking for a place to have a party for your little one!

Parking: This location has a large private parking lot with…read moreplenty of spots to choose. I have never had an issue finding parking. They also have a police camera in the lot to deter crime. Front Desk: The staff at the front desk are not overly friendly, but they were competent at their job. I would rather have competent employees than friendly. All players must scan their player barcode when entering, fyi. Complex: They have three indoor soccer fields to choose from with artificial turf. The fields were well maintained. They have several bathrooms that were always clean. Upstairs they have a small bar for drinks and snacks. They also have a small OrthopedicOne Branch of medical workers that will assist if a player gets injured. Conclusion: This is a great place to play indoor soccer. I signed up for a free agent league this past season and I loved it. However, I haven't played since college, so my body did not love it and I completely tore my Achilles. Thanks Resolute for setting up the games, leagues, and just existing. I had a great time.

I once attended a seminar with a friend at the Griswold Center on travel writing. We noticed we…read morewere the youngest ones there by a long shot, but didn't think much of it. Then I returned while in Worthington to gain more information and come to find out it is recreation center for senior citizens! But, I said to myself, I'll check this place out anyway because our elders want to know what's around town as well. I was told by one of the workers that a lot of people think it's like a nursing home; except it's not because no one actually lives there and it's for people ages 55 and older who are still living on their own. Even though I got some funny looks while checking out the place, I think it seems like a great little rec center. The building is bright and cheery and the old architecture is classical. Based upon their quarterly information booklets, it's quite an active place. The membership fee is cheap, at $10 annually for Worthington residents and $15 for nonresidents. With that membership people can get discounts to go on any of their planned trips to places around Columbus like the Franklin Park Conservatory, around Ohio like ski trips to Mad River Mountain (aka the Bellefontaine Bump) or to a dinner and a show at La Comedia Dinner Theatre in Dayton, and even to other states like to Almost, Maine to see the Northern Lights. A large number of events are held right at the Griswold center from seminars on armchair travel to candy making and cookie baking classes. Griswold Center also helps people with their shopping - grocery and occasionally the mall. Educational opportunities are also available, such as tax assistance, computer basics and language classes. Fitness is a pretty big thing at the Griswold Center. There is a fitness center and people can have a personal trainer or join a fitness class like Pilates, yoga, table tennis and more. Dance classes are yet another option, including line, ballet or perhaps zumba (dance aerobics). Support groups are an important asset, including Alzheimer's for those who have loved ones suffering from the disease or are suffering from it themselves, a widow and widower support group, a diabetes management support group and a host of others. Creative arts incorporates cross-stitching, drawing, watercolor painting, writing or teddy bear making. Cards and games featured are bingo, bowling, bridge, poker, billiards and mah-jongg. Health and wellness is important and the Griswold Center offers clinics, nutrition counseling and massages. I think for this I'd have to say the four stars means "good" to me. Obviously, other than that seminar, the place is not for my use.

My earliest memories here are coming with Grandad and my grandparent's dog Howie in the mornings…read morebefore he went to work. Howie would run loose around the casting pond. As kids we also came for the playground and the library. I loved that my grandparent's lived close. Now, I come often for a variety of reasons. Of course, there's the library which is a favorite branch. I use the walking paths, and come for occasional free yoga at the gazebo. The casting pond has been renovated and is really beautiful.

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.

There was plenty of seating/places to set up your seat, and plenty of parking, including an overflow lot across the street.

The Columbus Metro Park system in general is quite good - all the parks we've been to are well maintained. Meeting spaces and picnic areas are convenient to parking.... From trails to playgrounds to restrooms they are all in good condition. The High Banks Park is very popular (many Columbus people drive across the city to come here) so especially on weekends finding parking can be a challenge. Plan way ahead if you want to get a picnic spot (shelter houses are by reservation most of the time). Kudos to Columbus for investing in the area's green spaces!

You could easily spend an entire day here walking multiple trails. We would recommend bringing water because we did not see water fountains or stations, and some stretches of trail were quite long. We would also recommend exploring and seeing what you find. We found a fun area with wooden exercise and play equipment. We spent about 30 minutes playing with all of the pieces. It was so much fun and we are already planning our next trip back!
