This is a really nice park along the Scioto River. It is listed on both the Dublin and Columbus…read morePark websites, so there was initially a little bit of confusion, but we had success with following the Dublin one (Dublin lists it as Kiwanis Riverway Park at 6245 Riverside Dr, while the Columbus site has it as Riverway Kiwanis Park at 6345 Riverside Dr - the signage we found onsite matched the Dublin listing). The land is owned by Columbus, but the park is maintained by Dublin. To access the park, you pull into an area that also leads down into an office complex. There is a small parking area directly across from the marked trailhead. The trail itself is a combination of paved and boardwalk, although there are also some worn down dirt areas that get you closer to the river. If you enter through this signed trailhead area, you will find a fork in the road. The one to the right takes you on a paved walking trail that ends with a staircase that takes you back up to the street level. The fork to the left takes you towards the boardwalk area, which has a number of little streams and a nice little forested area. There is a ton of waterfowl and birds throughout, and a lot of interesting plants and trees to enjoy, as well. The noise of the animals and river helps provide a calming atmosphere, despite the proximity to the roads. This is well worth a visit!

There's a steep little path where you can walk down to a platform near the river and see the measurements for how high the water actually is. There's also some guard rails up top so you can get close to the dam and look down near some cute little benches and tables where you can enjoy your snacks. This is fun and peaceful little excursion you can do in as little as 10min or take your time enjoying.

The only thing more impressive than a natural water fall is a man-made one! No, really: If you want…read moreto be dazzled by falling water, then you should visit Glick Park & Overlook in Dublin. You'll see O'Shaughnessy Dam, pumping tons of water from the Scioto River into the faucets of the fine people of Dublin and Columbus and surrounding Ohio areas. This is a really neat park. It's not a park-park, but more of a place with picnic benches and a big grassy area, where you can relax and enjoy the outdoors while looking and listening to the water fall in the dam. The ambient sound of the water is relaxing -- it's just so big and loud and repetitive. I could hang out and listen to it and stare at the water for hours. However, I only got to stay and listen to the water for a minute or two, because I had children with me. Children don't appreciate standing in one place and listening to water. What kids do appreciate is exploring, and so we set off to check out what else Glick Park & Overlook had to offer. If you feel like walking a bit, there's a dirt path that goes down to the base of the dam, which will give you an up-close look at the falling water. When we visited, there were two people fishing, so I'm thinking that this might be a good place to fish. There was also a sign that warns visitors that if they hear a siren, then they should GTFO and seek higher ground. So, like, maybe don't visit when the river is high? Or maybe just keep an ear out for a siren, just in case. The walk down to the base of the dam and back up again isn't too steep, but it could have some people huffing and puffing, so keep that in mind. The path was smooth and should be OK for strollers and wheelchairs. Parking was plentiful when we visited. There were lots of spaces, and the parking lot is conveniently located right by the picnic area.

There's a nice parking area that is located near the water and a boat ramp. Heading past the boat ramp, you'll find a sign that says "Welcome to Hoover Nature Preserve," and that is where you will find the trails. There's a loop one on the left that takes you through a grassy area that tracks along the woods. When you come out of there on the far side, there's another trail to the left that takes you right up to a winding little stream area, which is very pretty and has a calming noise as the water babbles along towards the reservoir. There was a large variety of water fowl to be seen - geese, ducks, seagulls, cormorants, blue herons, and egrets were all around. There were also turtles sunning themselves on logs in the water. While I was there to walk around, I also saw a birder, a kayaker, and a family fishing, so there are several activities to do. There were also a number of picnic tables located throughout the area. Nice little park!

The trail is paved and gravel in various sections and heads through the woods for quite a bit, providing nice shade. There are a lot of forks and splits in the trail, so you can adjust the length of walk/hike/jog based on how much you choose to wind around. In addition to the trail, you can find several other interesting features in the park. In the middle of the nicely sized parking lot is a great succulent garden, and when you head over towards the trail, you can find several informational signs that provide insight on Thaddeus Kosciuszko and the history of Dublin. Near these are a large gazebo with picnic tables that overlook a pretty pond that is full of neat plants and pond life. If you follow the trail towards the side of the park that sits near 33, there is a very neat sculpture up on a hill. Another neat feature appears in the woods - a small overlook with signage about the karst make-up of the area and lets you look at a sinkhole that is forming into a cave. With the amount of leaves right now, the sinkhole is a bit obscured right now, but I bet during the winter, it is more visible. Very neat park with pieces of history, geology, art, and nature all in one place!

K loved the larger playground; small one was fine, but definitely for younger kids. The big one is spread out a bit and has lots of play options. Plus, plenty of benches for tired adults.

Lots of green space, some trees, quite a few shelters, the two playgrounds, plenty of parking, basketball and tennis courts, ball fields... Right in the middle of a growing area, so good for the neighborhood. Not busy on a spring weekday. We'll be back someday, though it's far from our usual routes.

It's pretty freakin' big and while I only explored a portion of it, what I did experience was great. For starters there is plenty of parking and they have restrooms on site. There's also a couple shelter areas so you can stay out of the sun or have a picnic. What I loved most was that there is a ton of green space, perfect for playing frisbee or throwing around a baseball. It's also well kept and had recently been mowed. While I was there, other than watching the eclipse, folks were playing cornhole and kids were practicing their soccer skills. Off in the distance was a lovely playground area that had swings, slides, and more. I heard there is also a small lake, but I did not have the pleasure of seeing it. Overall, it's a pretty solid park and the community around here is lucky to have such a place.

It spins gently in the wind and adds a nice focal point just behind the large waterfall. It was designed by Robert S. Mullins.

There are a few short trails around that let you explore the woods a bit. The trails are nicely mulched, although the mulch level was a bit high at the time of our visit, making it a bit challenging for the pint-sized members to wade through. We accessed the trails via the grassy area to the right when facing the lake from the parking lot near the entrance (there is a second parking lot further back, located between the restrooms and a shelterhouse with picnic tables). The trail comes to a fork, and taking the one to the right took us out to a nice viewing area for the nearby creek. We then backtracked to the fork and headed to the left, which took us along the back edge of the lake through the woods, which helped with the heat and let us look for some animals. This trail brought us to the shelterhouse and we followed the paved drive back to the front parking area. Enjoyable place for a visit!
