This is a very cool park! My children tend to gravitate toward parks and playgrounds where there…read moreare open-ended and tactile features available, and this park has that. There are boulders to climb, outdoor musical instruments to play, a treehouse to play pretend in (and is wheelchair accessible!), a merry-go-round, swings, a traditional playground structure with slides, and lots more. The playground area is lined with wood chips. There is also lots of space to run around, and lots of trees. Like the name of the park suggests, this is a very sensory-friendly park, and there are nature stations set up all around where you can use your senses to explore. There is also a short, paved trail that goes around the park, which is wide and smooth enough for strollers and wheelchairs. The trail goes by a creek, which is nice. As of right now, this is the only sensory-friendly park in the state of Ohio! It's definitely worth a visit.

This is a really neat and wonderfully inclusive park. This features a short, paved path that is…read morewheelchair and walker accessible. Along the path are a variety of interactive stations that are also designed to be accessible. If you start near the entry sign, you'll find a Little Free Library, which, on our recent visit, was loaded with a lot of great kids options. Just ahead is a variety of benches and a little music garden, featuring musical instruments that can be played, and you can also interact with the Rough Bark Tactile Display to learn more about different tree barks. A little further down are the cutest animal looking instruments that can also be used. As you continue down the path, you find a swingset with a variety of swings that include both traditional and accessible options. There's a nice little shaded bench area with information about the creek, Fetter's Run, that can be seen from the location. As you proceed along, a very exciting find is the Treehouse, which is built within the forest trees as opposed to up in one, which allows a wheelchair ramp to make it accessible. This overlooks the creek and has things to explore, like neat nature art and a second floor (not accessible) with a fire pole. At the end of the path is a shelter house with picnic tables and nearby grills. Most, if not all, of the signage included Braille translations, as well. There is a large parking lot here, but I do note that this is located behind a school, so I'm not sure how that would affect parking for a visit during a school day.

This is THE PLACE to go if you have or are watching kids over the summer months! The splash park is…read moreall swell and fun, but their playground was icing on the cake. The splash pad isn't huge. There are a few giant fountains that splash out, and the middle area forms a big puddle perfect for water wars. Also a nice shelter house right next to the splash pad. It's nice and shaded with a few picnic tables under. There's ample parking, also. Bathrooms (with flushing toilets) are also close by the splash area. Their playground is worth a stop, alone! Several sections that are all right next to each other. Soft padded ground. There swings for both toddlers and older kids, several slides, monkey bars and ramps. Perfect spot for some serious tag - you're it!!

We grew up on property that bordered this park and it has changed for the better over the years…read more Back in the early 80's it was a "party destination" for teenagers in the evening and nature lovers during the day. The park has changed drastically over the years and is a well run and well monitored park now and it is meticulously maintained. The park offers "natural" walking trails (grass) that are easy to navigate no matter what your age and there are 2 bodies of water located on the property. One has a Duck Blind type building to allow for viewing of the different range of birds that come in and out of the park and the other is a big body of water that you get fairly close too when on the trails. Tremendous amounts of wildlife reside here as well as some of the prettiest trees, plants and flowers you will find, although please note this is a "nature preserve" so you are not allowed to take ANYTHING from here. The park rangers keep close tabs on anyone and have been know to search your bags/backpacks if they suspect anything at all is being removed. The fines are pretty hefty so please keep that in mind. There are maps of the trails at the entrance and it would be TOUGH to get lost here.

This is a beautiful little park with a lot of areas to explore. When you pull into the main parking…read morelot, you find yourself in a busy area featuring a large red barn, a playground, and an open air shelter. If you head to the left, you can cross a little bridge over a creek that takes you into a very nice natural play area, which includes a slide, a ring of boulders to climb and jump from, the aforementioned creek that you can enjoy some creeking in, and a little wooded area with a mini dirt trail. The playground and open air shelter were packed when we visited, but the natural play area was completely empty. We enjoyed the opportunity to fully explore and try out each of the activities. If you continue along the paved trail up the hill, you can take it to the left to visit a small prairie and head up a connector to a greenway trail, or you can take a right and loop through Gantz Park. As you loop around, you'll find a lovely gazebo surrounded by beautiful flowers, and then another bridge that takes you into the gardens area (which is located to the right of the parking lot when you are facing the playground and red barn, so you could also just go straight there if that's your interest). The gardens are very fun, such as a rain garden, a community-type garden, native plants, herb garden, knot garden, and the like. In addition to the beautiful plants, there is a lot of wonderful art and sculptures throughout, and a very nice labyrinth to walk and get some nice meditation in. It was very relaxing despite its proximity to the noisy parking lot and playground. Well worth a visit whether you're getting out with the kids or looking to enjoy the gardens!
