The most beautiful, well kept park in this area. There are walking and running trails that go through the woods. Play grounds and swings here and there throughout. Basketball courts and lots of picnic areas. Also, impotantly, bathrooms. I was renewed after this visit! I'll be revisiting again soon

Lovely woodland park for walking the dogs. Spacious with picnic areas, trails, bathrooms and water.

There are a lot of sweet trails. The swampy pond area is surreal because all the fallen trees and green water. The nature center is great for kids and adults alike. It was cool to see about 7 raccoons feeding all at one place. The areas were well kept and there are a lot of amenities for all types of events. There are bicycle trails and hiking trails too. There is also a pond and other cool spots throughout the park.

The park is clean and very well maintained. It has so many different options of things to do and places to visit. You find something new and beautiful every time you visit.

Excellent birding in the nature preserve. Pileated woodpecker, lots of red bellies, downies, hairies, a yellow crowned kinglet, lots of the usual Forest birds. Three hawks. Wide gravel paths in the preserve, well maintained. Lots of people though. I went in late March. Beech woods was great. Probably very beautiful in the preserve in summer. Not as secluded as many nature preserves do to being in the metro park. But well worth it.

Nice walking paths, 2 really good playgrounds. Bathrooms available for public use near the playgrounds. We also visited the nature center which is really nice, with lots of things for the kids to do and plenty of bird watching. I did t take a lot of photos as we just enjoyed being out and looking at the animals.

This is an awesome, very big, open, family-friendly park!

Beautiful walk on the Maple loop trail. An early spring mature forest with soaring trees, wetlands and abundant bird life. Will be back to see the large tree canopy in summertime.

Central Ohio's first Metro Park. Hiked the Buttonbush, Maple, and Beech trails. Very well marked and maintained. Easy walk with moderate traffic. This is only a portion of the park.

Great park! Has great gym equipment. I don't use it if course👀 but looks like it works😆😉👍

My favorite part of the park is the pathway that takes you alongside Blacklick Creek. The parking area is the same that you would use for the nature center so it's a good starting point to many other popular areas of the park.

Beautiful park with lots of places to explore. Loved the nature center and lighted path!

Very impressive place to visit. Snowy days are more fun

Biked there on the Greenway Trail from Three Creeks Metro Park. Only got to see a small portion of the park, but what we did see was great. Trails were well kept. Beautiful path from the parking lot to the nature center with overhead hanging lights. The nature center was small, but very nice. Friendly staff/rangers. The aquarium had some bluegill and a map turtle. The viewing windows are wonderful.

Just happened to be in Columbus and dropped into the Blacklick Metro Park. The park is very large. Nice nature center that is staffed. Walking trails and shelters throughout. Looked like they have a disc golf course as well. Would like to go back in the summer to walk the trails.

was out doing spring cleaning on the rv. decided to stop in and use the grill for a picnic. also had a nice walk

Well kept park. Very nice and very educational!! Nice place to take a walk or just let the children play.

Love the playground and the tree stump area that the kids can climb on!

We had a great time exploring the trails! We say 2 owls, a hawk, a few raccoons, and a bunch of squirrels. The trails are relatively short which means you can explore many of them in an hour. Make sure you check out the nature center- they have a neat animal viewing area.

Beautiful park. Great place for a quiet nature walk.

I was at a gathering at the Beech Maple Lodge. It was really nice, with a full kitchen, tables and chairs, and lots of space. There were doors that opened the lodge to the patio that had grills and benches. A lovely fireplace inside as a focal point and clean restrooms. Would definitely go back.

Hiking on Buttonbush trail through the Nature Preserve, then hit the main trail to the bottom loop, then back. Around 3 miles. Deer, squirrels (including an albino), birds all out & feeding. I think spring is here. 🤞 Update.. 6/19.. hiked the 4 mi loop. Very pleasant & peaceful. Not crowded. No bugs, not muddy. Playground is temporarily closed. They're building a new one.

This park is amazing! Mix of paved walks and uneven, unpaved trails. It is huge and many places and different directions to go. We love nature and really love taking these walks and this is one of our favorite places. And despite how woodsy it is, there are very few flying bugs! Which is great

I love this park nice atmosphere. The ranges does a great job keeping the park clean. The bathrooms could use some attention far as cleanliness and up grades but other than that it's a cool friendly park for family gatherings or just to hang to the the kiddos play and have a good time.

Love this park! I've been coming here with my children now for over 25yrs! Love to walk and get out into nature! The mudrun paths they've recently added are AWESOME!! I just walk them, but to get off the concrete and enjoy the outdoors and wildlife has made us enjoy the park that much more! Hope they have more in the future or maybe different or new paths in new areas!

Blacklick is a great place to take a casual hike, hop on a log, lug a keg, shake some ropes and see a bunch of paranoid chipmunks. Fair amount of gathering areas, good trails, and honestly some of the best bathrooms of all the Metro parks I've been to.

Very nice park. Well kept. We had my grandson's birthday party there. Lot's of space for the kids to run around and an additional jungle gym play area . Really good sized grill, cooked all the meat we brought. All in all a really good time.

First time I saw a buck here. They have amazing things for kids to do here even when the outside animals are not there. Several aquariums and terrariums with animals and fish. They also have many events lead by their staff. Enjoy all the Metroparks.

They do a great job of keeping this park clean. They always have a full schedule of different classes and events happening for the whole family. The nature center just got an outside facelift and it looks very nice. The space just outside the nature center is very inviting and our son loves playing in the area.

Love this place! Don't miss going to the Nature Center. The park has a viewing area where you can watch all the beautiful wildlife. It's a glorious sight to behold.

Always a nice walk with plenty of bird and squirrel watching at the nature center. We also love the peacefulness of the lake. There are hawks and deer along the trail of catch the right time too.
