I often participate in Metroparks Winter Hike programs, and had to visit this location in the evening after work.

The bench in the middle of nowhere Demanded it's picture be taken and I actually sat there quietly for a few minutes. It was very restorative I would return to this park to walk my dog on the loop.

We were worn out by the time we saw that.) The main playground by the shelter and the service building is big, with multiple areas, and is accessible for almost anyone- stairs on several sides, and a level access off to the right. There's a music machine, always popular. Lots of climbing stuff and slides. Some games. Musical areas, mazes, balancing stuff, and more. Shades on the top of most of it, though the slides can get hot. Also plenty of benches, though no shade for those. Dublin has a lot of good parks. This is right up there. Worth a detour if you have kids.

There is a lot for kids to choose from - in addition to familiar favorites like swings and slides, there are a lot of exciting and challenging climbing options, interactive music and visual activities (like creating your own optical illusion or putting together a sliding puzzle). There are also unique variations of things like the two person swings, a rope bridge and spiderweb, and more. There are a number of benches and picnic benches nearby. Further off, in a grassy area, is a large first come first serve gazebo, and the small woods behind the playground contain a creek and a fun little trail with two bridges for kids to run around. Currently part of the field is off limits due to new grass seed - if you follow the sidewalks you'll be able to access the playground easily. The area is very walkable or you can use street parking/the small lot behind the library.

Fancyburg park lives up to its name - "fancy."…read more I think it's a great idea to visit these kinds of amenities in the surrounding suburban communities to see what's available. I was surprised to see shuffleboard courts. And, while they were not in use today it looks like they've seen a lot of use in their day. That's a different kind of unique amenity that not a lot of parks have and it's good to know it's here in the event that I might want to participate one day. It appears there is an equipment shed for the games so there must be regular, staffed hours for this activity - would have to look into this more. I noticed what appears to be a large stone construction shelter house. There is a spacious and well-equipped children's playground, with plenty of modern equipment and nice soft landing ground beneath it. A far cry from the asphalt of my childhood. There is also a story walk that has been installed at Fancyburg Park which is a really super cool way to introduce kids to the joys of reading. I'm glad to see that a lot of public spaces are incorporating these kinds of things. It gives families something positive & educational to do together. There are two enormous, sunny, and level Great Lawns in this park. At the time of my visit there was a kids soccer game underway, and lots of parents watching along the sidelines. It felt as if there was a real sense of community going on at this park and leads me to believe that the citizens get a great experience here. Fancyburg is now on my list of great smaller sized community public parks in the greater Columbus metro area.

That was fortunate for us, since we visited during the off-season for the splash pad (which looks fun, it's just turned off right now!) There is a huge playset area: traditional, baby, and adaptive swings, a cool slide that comes out of a fossil dino jaw, a variety of slides and climbing options, tunnels, games like 3 in a row, and a boat that you can get to rock back and forth. There is a very nice set up of shelters, restrooms, picnic tables, and benches. If you cross over to the wooded section, you can reach a nature trail in the Wooded Wetland Preserve that surrounds the pond. There are boardwalks, observation decks, and a swing to enjoy the lovely view. This is a wonderful park, even when the splash pad isn't operating!

This is park central for Hilliard P&R, with its main community center, its premier public pool, and…read morea variety of sport facilities in the eight-acre spread. Accessed from Scioto-Darby bordering its north, the park is tucked between neighborhoods, fields, and golf courses. Mark K. mentioned in his review circa 2015 that there was no easy bike connection between Homestead park and here. In the five years since that weakness has been rectified with an off-road bike path running down Lappert Rd. This is the way I cycled here. Just turn south from the Heritage Trail, left at the round-a-bout at Darby, and cross the street into the bike access. The park was eerily silent for the sunny summer Saturday I visited on my ride. Normally you'd expect the place to be jumping on such a gorgeous day, but the pandemic has damper things. Connected to that fact, the public pool here is closed for the year. Normally, the Family Aquatic Center, as it is called, would be full of swimmers using its leisure pool, sports pool, lazy river, slides, and children sections. Now it has a weird, abandon amusement park feel, with the rides sticking up like ruins over the wall, and ghostly echoes of screams, laughs, and splashes that should be here coming to mine in the quiet. What I call a 'sports park' the grounds hold fields for baseball/softball, lacrosse, soccer, and disk golf. Basketball courts and tennis are of course are found, as well as horseshoe ring. There is a small amphitheater and a large sledding hill half-mooning the grounds like a Native American mound. There are some art park landscaping here, especially near the fishing pond, a rustic body split by a wood bridge. There are several shelter houses here to rent. The running/riding trail isn't all that great, but it does breeze through the heart of the park. There are several connectors that leads to and from the surrounding neighborhoods. There is also a rustic food garden found here. On the east is a Veterans Memorial garden with colorful flowers, waving flags, and reflective stones ingrained with locals who gave the ultimate price. In all a good city park with lots of amenities, easy access, and just enough artwork to give it character.
