Scioto Audubon Metro Park

This park is beautiful and decent. Definitely a chill place to hangout near downtown. People can play with the snow during winter and hike or have a picnic during summer. We were playing skiing at the slopes here during winter. That is one of my favorite memories in Columbus. The rock climbing and kids playground area is professional and safe. The scenery on the top of the tower is refreshing with a great city view.

A great place to walk with your dog. Really like the multi-purpose trail along side the river, but also appreciate the downtown skyline view.

Not a ton of trails but really enjoyed being close to the water. We'll have to return with our dogs and younger cousin to take advantage of the dog park and obstacle course.

Scioto Audubon Metro Park is a striking model of urban renewal, transforming a vast blighted industrial brownfield and former rail yard into a thriving green space. Opened in 2009, this 120-acre sanctuary along the Scioto River is the result of ambitious remediation efforts to bring nature back to downtown Columbus. The scenery is a powerful juxtaposition. Against the backdrop of the city skyline, the park features seven restored wetlands, abundant with migratory birds, contrasting sharply with the urban adventure amenities like one of the nation’s tallest free outdoor climbing walls. Visitors enjoy vast open fields, an obstacle course, and the unique Grange Insurance Audubon Center. This park fosters a deep sense of environmental hope. It is a triumphant monument to reclamation, demonstrating nature’s resilience when given a chance. Standing amidst the tranquility, yet feeling the pulse of the city nearby, one is inspired by the bold vision that transformed industrial decay into a vital, life-affirming public space for wildlife and the human spirit alike.

Went for the Earth Day festival. It was well organized with several food vendors and live music. Park is always clean and has easy access to bicycle trails.
