    Nice little park, almost impossible to get next to the river, but a nice little hidden gem. I parked in the shopping center parking lot but there IS additional parking for the park behind the shopping center (even if it doesn't look like it from the road).

    Good place to jump on the Olentangy trail. Super nice area with friendly people. Most people starting the trail seem to drive here, but it's a great place to ride to as well with fairly low traffic. There are a lot of deer in the area and they seem fairly accustomed to seeing people so they are not shy and don't run away.

    A little gem for the local folks, too small to attract strangers. It is literally only 5 min walk from one side of it to another

    Northern trail head for the Olentangy Bike Trail. Small shelter with picnic tables, a pair of benches overlooking the river, porta-potty, and several Ohio shale concretions (among Ohio's greatest geological mysteries). This section of trail south to OH-161 is my favorite along the Olentangy Bike Trail.

    This is more of a trail head for the Olentangy River paved trail. The park has no playground. There is a small work station to do some minor repairs to your bike and a few dip and pull up bars. Not a place to take the family to to enjoy a park but I always go here because it is the start of the paved biking and running/walking trail for the 13.1 mile river trail. The trail is fairly clean, well maintained and a decent width. I only have experience with the first 3.5 miles of it, until you reach Antrim park.

    Great spot hidden behind rusty bucket that leads to so many other great parks in the area! Beautiful spot for pictures right now with the fall leaves and I enjoy all the wildlife around also. Right along the river, plenty of places to explore!

    City park along the east side of Olentangy River. Featuring skateboard area, tennis courts, grass field, nice restrooms, water fountains, covered shelter with benches & bike repair station. Immediate access to the Olentangy Trail, a multi-use paved path that runs south into downtown Columbus and to north end of Worthington.

    Rode bikes to park from Upper Arlington. Took a rest break in the gazebo. There is a porta party if nature calls.

    Quiet and peaceful at the end of a long bike ride

  • 5/5 Anthony I. 3 years ago on Google
    Great little place to start off your day on the Olentangy Trail. I'd suggest grabbing a bite at the hills market and hanging out on the patio after you finish your ride or run.

    The pollinator garden near the gazebo, installed and maintained by the Worthington Hills Garden Club, is beginning to show signs of life.

    Awesome trailhead for a great bike path

  • 5/5 Hasib C. 1 year ago on Google

  • 4/5 Matthew O. 2 years ago on Google
    Nice trailhead for the olentangy path, close to restaurant or grocery for sandwiches and beverages. Pretty park with picnic tables

  • 4/5 Jarrod M. 5 years ago on Google
    Hard to locate the entrance if you dont know what you are looking for and the park only has one porta john, but the access to the olentangy trail is wonderful. Ample parking, just wish it had more bathrooms and a drinking fountain.
