This place is best if you're mostly interested in lifting weights. That being said, there are a number of cardio machines (treadmills, elliptical, bikes, etc) that are available. I've never run into a situation where I haven't been able to snag one of these machines, but there is a limited number compared to the RPAC, so be aware. 2. The ARC has recently become my gym of choice due to its parking situation. It's free! That is, if you know the tricks of the trade - give me a message if you're interested in knowing "the way." This makes it much more convenient for me since I can go at any time rather than just when I'm on campus going to the main RPAC gym. Otherwise, you have to have an OSU pass or pay by the hour. Decidedly less than convenient. And thus the fat lady sang.

But go on a Saturday/Sunday around 3pm and it is perfect. This year, I believe they added around 10 to 15 cardio machines on the first floor so there are a lot more options than there were a couple of years ago. There are also a decent amount of weight machines available. There is usually plenty of parking unless you go right after 5pm. Additionally, the ARC shares a parking lot with the Martha Morehouse center so it may be difficult to find a spot during some parts of the day. The bathroom includes lockers, two showers and around 5 potties :). Overall, a very nice gym to frequent.

Great spot! Fair prices! Knowledgeable coaches! Everyone is friendly and helpful! Highly recommend!read more

When i ask the girls that work there blame it on " the cleaning lady" the hand dryer in the ladies room has been out of order for seven months now. I mentioned it to Bryan back in winter. He said "oh yeah the part has been ordered" why lie. This place certainly brings in enough money that they should be able to get a new hand dryer. My concern is how do the young ladies that work there with children wash their hands? They can't! I guess rinse and wipe on your shirt. Its a simple expectation of any business. Maybe now since the strait of Hormuz is open that ordered part can get through.

We were there for the playground, of course. Driving by one day, Baby K said "there's a playground!" I didn't see it from Greenlawn, and even driving through the park I couldn't find it, but she spotted it, and we spent an hour there. Actually, there are two, but the other one was overrun with crazed kids. The eastern one was only moderately busy, and everyone was well-behaved, so we stayed there. There's a big "umbrella" sunshade over it, and though there weren't any benches nearby for tired parents there were a few spots on the playset for me to sit. She loved it- slides, climbing areas, etc. Nearby is a building with concessions and bathrooms.

This large sports park in South Columbus is a veritable Field of Dreams. Its 32 diamonds neatly…read moregrouped into nearly eight circles is apt to the 30-year-old Costner movie but that isn't the only aspect it shares. For in its 209 acres also exist another troupe of the movie--Berliner is also known for its ghosts. ( It is also known for something else--something that buzzed the newswires nationwide in 1997. That year the Columbus Police in a sting arrested 200 people including some well known men for indecent exposure in a sex ring. True story. But don't fear, today Berliner is a clean, streamline family park. ) Named after Lou Berliner, a prominent sportswriter who wrote for the Dispatch from 1931 to 1975, this is the largest ball diamond complex in the nation. The diamonds are fantastic for both baseball and softball ( must have a field permit to use.) They are permanently fenced and have turfed infields. Thousands of athletes use the park every year when local, state, and national soft and fast pitch events and games happen here. There are benches, restroom facility and concessions stands to serve the baseball crowds--build it and they will come. And so will ghosts. The long span of Berliner, of diamond upon diamonds, from Greenlawn to Frank is flanked on the west by the Scioto Greenway Trail on the levee over the river. This is where the reports of spirits from the dark beyond originate for here spooky anomalies are seen, sensed, or felt. The souls of poor people caught in the rivers damns and eddies who perished in the waters right there; the poltergeists of the murdered and dumped in the waters; dark secrets of 200-years and mysteries never solved and forgotten as mysteries and became a misty angst and despair; the voices of children laughing are heard, or two men whispering conspiracies down the river's bank but when you look there's no one to be found; a shadow following you its breath right on your neck but when you turn around there is a void of presence in the dark trail of the night. These are the stories they tell of the haunted trail here. One can easily see where they come from just by walking the trail. Secluded, wild but urban, unkept by tree and dark-green canopies, this section of the Greenway is creepy. You can tangibly feel the thick of evil, of fear, of pain, foreboding. It's the eeriest places in Columbus, even more than Walhalla Ravine.

It's nice if you really want to do that, but if you're just looking for something fun to do, it may not be as enticing. SportsOhio seems pretty run-down most days.

It honestly seems pretty self-serve to a degree. The driving range was nice but nothing special. There were a few other groups, all just doing their own thing.

While your down there your using a provided map to guide yourself around and match the corresponding areas ( Ex; A to A or 1-1 ) We went after it had just rained the night before, so everything was VERY wet. Wear waterproof/walking shoes if you plan on exploring. Be prepared to get dripped on by very cold water coming off nearby rocks, and the "ceiling". Coming down the initial very steep stairs is a beautiful view of different levels of rocks decending into a tunnel/cave where the rest of the cavers are. Tons of puddles all over the ground from collected rain water and the "droplets". Most the areas are about big enough for one person to walk through the tunnel areas at one time, and if your a larger person i DO NOT recommend going down there. Some areas are extremely tight and really only accessible to someone under 4'5 and around 100 pounds or less. (Im 5'4, 140 and some areas i almost got stuck cause it was too tight going through the rocks. It is neat to see though, i dont think id want to do it again as it is just wet rocks and the furthest tunnel was closed from the previous year that occurred from some heavy rain water. (The water collected, over time causing a collapse). So that was kind of a bummer but i get it for safety reasons. The gem mining was fun, definitely loaded with a lot of "gravel" type rocks so that was new for me, Ive only ever had ones with dirt/sand that yield rocks/gems/shark teeth. We found some really interesting gemstones in each tray. The petting zoo was great. I thought it wad Going to be boring and smelly, and i was happily wrong. The goats were adorable, when we came in a baby jumped through the fence and was following our group. And when we came inside the "pen" to pet them he ran back in it was very cute! The deer were a little skittish but very sweet and gentle. The treasure hunt/maze was VERY fun we enjoyed getting different prizes snd trading them within the group.
