    It is very close to OSU university. A good place for walk, jogging, and cycling. It has four baseball fields, some basketball courts. A lot of grass field to enjoy. There are couple of large parking lots near by. But it seems they are OSU faculty parking lots. For the summer time and during the pandemics there were only few cars. Assuming when school starts, it would be a different pictures.

    Great 43-acre park. It has grass field space for many ground sports as baseball, softball, flag football, rugby, and other activities. Nice staff here. Restrooms are available at both picnic shelters. Parking lots are available south of the park on the south side of Carmack Road. I loved two beautiful foot bridges across Carmack Road. Should visit and enjoy. ***

    Cant beleive they wouldnt rent out a kickball. We had 5+ alumni, an active student and other students on summer break. We went up to the employees who were in the middle of a chess game and tried to rent a kickball. They said the active students account didnt work and that they needed to contact the administrators. Even after showing active registration for classes, lots of buckids and offering an entire wallet(ID, credit cards and enough cash to buy the ball) as collateral they said there was nothing they could do. Very disappointed, I expect way better from my University and their staff.

  • 5/5 Scott P. 8 years ago on Google
    Even though this park is located on the OSU west campus, it is a great public park. Huge grassy areas for playing football, soccer, baseball, or Frisbee makes this park great for families. My kiddos and I run through the grass and there is even a small hill where the kids can roll down the hill -- which is a throwback to years gone by. You will need to pay to park here, but its only a few dollars and well worth it in my opinion.

  • 4/5 Kyle R. 8 years ago on Google
    Lots of open space, baseball fields, and volleyball courts. Things are pretty well maintained across the board. They even have giant stadium lights for playing after dusk.
