The river is a farther walk but does have a very strong current so no swimming over there.

Today, we found the main section of the park and it was fabulous. We spent over 2 hours walking through the park and seeing the ruins of the old PPG glass factory. The are numerous walking trails, a number of sculptures, including the "River of Glass". There's an observation tower built around an old smokestack. At the one end of the park, there is a sculpture located at the top of a hill (the highest point in the park) where you can see a great overview of the park. The park is a beautiful place to enjoy an afternoon. There's so much to explore, some many trails, so much to see. Give yourself an hour for a quick overview or spend a couple of hours really exploring and enjoying the park. We're so glad we came back to find the main section of the park.

We've met so many different people that helped us start a fire cause we didn't know how to start a fire or to keep it burning and then the store they sold everything that you could possibly may need if you forgot it at home they do sell firewood. It was nine dollars or five dollars a bundle, which I didn't think was too bad in the locals sell firewood as well. There were so many kids there and they had their dogs there and there is an opening down to the water and my dogs had a blast playing fetch in the water

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.

We parked at the Ranger station where the GPS landed us. It was a 3.25 mile walk from there to the nature center. The nature center is very nice and the folks working were very friendly and polite.

We did the 2 mile Marie hickey trail. After walking on the paved trail about a quarter of a mile from the parking lot, along the licking river, you'll see the sign for marie hickey. The entrance is a moderate steep climb and is the most difficult part of the trail. Once you reach the top, the trail goes up and down, ending back on the pavement. It feels like a workout. As what seems to be the norm at the parks, people you meet are friendly. The few folks we talked to were from the area. After all these years of wanting to come here.... finally did it.

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.

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.

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.
