Good size park. One side has water park of sprinklers. Other side of building has a nice playground and a short walking trail. Street parking.

Is a little nice place to take your kids with the water,the only bad thing about it,that there is a lot of homeless people around, it doesn't look good when there is a lot kids.

This park is a nice clean place to take your children to have a wonderful experience. And there is also a park leader. Watching over kids name Israel and he is nice friendly and helpful and deserves a raise!

This Is above the pinnacle of immaculate place. New soccer Area next to basketball hoops. A lot of restoration here just by walking by and seeing this inspirational sight with phenomenal Employees here bringing full support in all areas and the help you didn't even think you needed , thank you.

I was looking for somewhere to take the kids to cool off. Since I had all five of my kids, I knew the swimming pools were out! I tried taking them all swimming last year; it was just too much. Anyway, Blackburn has a great water park for small children. My kids were able to cool off and have fun. The water park is supervised and attended by Columbus Parks & Recreation. I highly recommend this park.

Blackburn is a historical park located in the East Side district off of E. Main St. in Columbus, OH. It's a well-rounded park for both adults and children, with a basketball court and rec center. They even have a summer season water park open to the public for small children and parents looking to cool off. With it's position in the community, Blackburn Park offers after school programs and a fully equiped gym, as well as a boxing training facility(Which has produced plenty of champions in Golden Gloves and beyond). And the rec center also has a summer camp program for parents wanting to keep their children active and healthy for the summer. As of this year, 2020, I'm unsure of their current state as a rec center, but I'm certain in a few short months, they'll reopen Blackburn for the public to enjoy once again.

It's fun for the kids on a hot day, buy they have people watching who aren't consistent about the rules. I've gone before and me and the kids play tag, this last time I went the supervisor kept telling my 2 and 3 year old they could not run, not even trot the way babies do. They didn't understand because they were changing the rules, it was never an issue before.The guard made me sit them down cuz they were playing the same way they always did. It's not very fun when your running behind your kids telling them not to run every 2 seconds, they already had the habit from being there before and no one said anything. People with kids understand what I mean. I understand it's a safety issue but they weren't sprinting, I would never let them sprint and hurt each other. Common sense needs to be used in these matters, they jog from one spray to the next, just to have fun, little kids don't even realize their little feet just move fast. It was overly enforced, or not enforced at all. Then they leave the door open to a storage area, right to the left there is a 30 foot drop, no sings, a kid could easily go in and fall to their death, I asked them to close it, they said they couldn't, the next time I asked and they closed it but just cracked it open. So kids can go in and fall to their death, but kids can't jog? I left and if it happens again with the people supervising I won't be going back unfortunately.

Nice community park with a splash pad.

Blackburn is pretty much of a hood Park however the park is great for little kids because they have the inside events going on for the neighborhood children all the time and the water park is great especially for the kids! But when you get a membership with Columbus Parks and recreation services you get a photo ID and if you lose the ID they only charge like a dollar to give you a new one as long as you can prove it's you.

Nice water park to bring the kids not much of a crowd but it has its days, nice park for the little ones to play in afterwards and lots of space to grill just bring your own

Nice enough... got the job done... clean

They need some better hoopers.
