I love the park for its curated gravelled trails through several ravines. It also has a wildlife blind area near a pond great for bird watchers. There is a staffed nature center with educational elements and bird watching areas. The rangers are great with kids, and can address most any question about the park and it's wildlife. It's a wonderfully peaceful park near sunset, with the sun streaming through the trees every view is something to behold.

This is probably the premier park in Westerville - which is known for its excellent park system…read more The Westerville Parks and Recreation Department is to be commended for our excellent parks. Personally, my wife and I are at the age that we don't use the park very often. However, when our grandkids were here this past weekend, they wanted to go to "that nice park" you took us to last time we were here (over a year ago). Millstone Creek Park offers a little of everything. Nice assortment of playground equipment; accessible; a variety of activities; sports fields; nature/wetlands area; picnic shelter and restrooms. Plenty of parking. My only suggestion for improvement would be the addition of a few more benches for the grandparents who bring their grandkids to the park.

Lots of trails and well maintained pathways. Also a nice park for kids. Parking was easy.read more

You can get a nice walk in with the looping combo of paved trail and boardwalk/bridges. There are a few shelters and trees around to help with the sun a bit. On the far end is a playground, with a very nice large shelterhouse with picnic tables. The playground is a lot of wood, metal, and climbing nets, and has sections for ages 2-5 and 5-12. By far the biggest draw appeared to be the very tall, fast slide, accessible via climbing net. There are benches available, and play shades available in one section. A nice sized parking lot is available too.

This park offers a nice playground for kids, and at the other end of the park, there's one for adults that offers resistance workout equipment and several stations for if you'd like to bring your own equipment. When the weather is nice, I work out here regularly. 4 times around the path equals a mile. Some of the path offers shade, also. There is a covered pavilion that can be reserved for events, although, I've never done that. There are restrooms on site, and there is a nice big red barn that serves as an awesome back drop for photos. They have several wildflower gardens that make for some great photo ops. This park is never crowded unless there is a special event going on. In the summer, they offer movies on the lawn one Saturday a month for free. Macnamara Park is a great asset to our little Genoa Township.

Not much of a much. Maybe it is being rebuilt? But there is a small building with bathrooms and what looks like it will be a nature center, and tons of trails up and down the hills. Surrounded by development, but fairly quiet, at least on an early spring weekday afternoon. Saved because of its creeks and hills and gullies, surely. Lots of shale outcrops, some decent elevation changes, well-developed paths mixed with more basic ones, decent parking. Far from our usual routes, but worth a detour.

The parking lot is good sized and offers some EV charging stations.

A beautiful 75 acre meadow…read more This place is breathtaking! I waked all the trails and recorded 2.5 miles. The front entrance to this place is not very inviting but don't be fooled. Once you walk past the first set of trees it opens up to a beautiful meadow filled with lots of wildflowers, trees, and wildlife. It was very peaceful and quite back in the meadow. I enjoyed listening to the sounds of the trees and the birds calling. It was nice to get away from the sights and sounds of the city and enjoy nature. My main reason for coming here today was to look for birds, and I found 22 different species. I enjoyed walking around this park and had lots of fun exploring all of the paths. I loved every minute of it and would definitely do it again.

We reserved one of the full hookup sites online and stayed at the end of September 2025. The online…read morereservation site has all the details on lot size, electricity info, distance to showers, etc. However, it's limited in showing different dates, which is frustrating. Anyway, the check-in time is 3pm and check-out is 1pm. We paid fifty-three dollars per night for two adults and one dog, with a six fifty reservation charge. Check-in was easy, and the attendant was helpful; you just drive up to the office, check-in and go on your way. The layout is similar to a subdivision with cul-de-sacs and each spot having its own little yard, making it feel somewhat like camping in the woods. Our neighbors were quiet and most vehicles drove slowly. Everyone we met was pleasant and friendly. The camp itself was clean and easy to hook up. Bathrooms and showers were clean and there was plenty of toilet paper. Large trash bins were available along with gray water stations. The only thing I'd suggest is for the site identifiers to be repainted, as several had faded over time. We visited the beach, but didn't go swimming, given the temperature. The pond is catch and release and seemed maintained and not stagnant. The budget limitations need to be considered before passing judgment. We used bug spray every day and that seemed to help keep the bugs away. The site we booked had a level surface and plenty of room to back in. The water and electrical were easily accessible and worked fine. A lot of campers used an inline water filter. The water quality report is on the park website for anyone interested. The grass was well trodden, making a camp rug a must-have. There was also a fire pit with a grill attached, but we didn't use it to cook. Also, at the time, there wasn't a burn ban. Overall it was an enjoyable experience and we'll definitely return. It was fun to walk down the aisles and see all the setups and decorations and note future camp site options. How many campers are long-timers, it's hard to tell. But we were pleased and our dog loved exploring on our walks.
