I run, and the trails in Olentangy Park are quite nice. There are paved trails, and some off the path trails for running and walking. The trails themselves follow a river, with a interstate on the other side. However the tree canopy and abundant foliage help give it a more secluded feel. There are soccer fields, tennis courts, playgrounds, and a skate park tucked back a little further from the entrance I use. I see other runners, walkers, bikers whenever I'm there for a run. The entrance to the park that I go to is a good half mile or more from where I usually stay, but it's always worth the effort.

The answer to this is being patient. Drive down and find the 'lower' parking lot, jump out and wander under the freeway overpass and that's when you go... 'holy cow, this is gorgeous!!' The lake is so pretty, the paths are well marked. This would be a go to spot during the fall color changes as the reflections off the lake would be pretty much what dreams are made of. Lots of space on walkway that goes all the way around the lake so you never feel crowded. Shows like 1.3miles but I'd guess closer to 2.0 miles but it's all pretty much flat and groomed. If you're ever in this area, plan a good walk with your significant other, put your phone in your pocket, hold their hands and just talk about how amazing your life is with them in it. And don't forget. Listen to what they have to say.

Baby K loved it, and when she fell, on the rubber "ground," she was fine and wanted to keep playing. A great playground, and with another nearby in the park, part of a 'two-fer' that we will surely be back to.

But once you start heading onto the path, you discover that there is more to this place than you see from the parking lot. If you want to get right next to some small waterfalls, like touch them with your fingers, this is the place to visit. The waterfalls are smaller, but I liked that we could get up close to the water and experience it in a tactile way. Being right up in the water's business allowed for some really great photos, too -- the waterfall area is a great place to take photos. The hike through Indiana Run Falls is very easy, but there are some areas that require walking up and down steps, so it might not be the easiest hike for someone in a wheelchair or pushing a stroller. Otherwise, this is a great place to visit, and it's a good hike for kids because it's very short and sweet.

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'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.

You can access it via the street - though it's called Highgate, Highgate Ave actually turns into Masefield right around the section where you can find the entrance to the playground and trail access (it's labeled as Olentangy Bike Trail, HIghgate Entrance" on the signage). There's street parking available. The playground is very nice! It is good sized. There are swings (traditional and baby), a play area for little kids, and a play area for bigger kids. There's a fun little garden with a tiny walking path, and a large rock that's good for climbing and jumping. The spinny toy here works really well and kids who are big enough can do it themselves. There's a very interesting 'arch' like structure that it like an upside down see saw, as a kid can sit on each end. It also has hand holds that let them use it kind of like monkey bars or just hang. There are multiple slides, monkey bars, and lots of climbing structures. There is good shade around several benches and picnic tables nearby.

Trails for running/biking encircle it. Baby K had a blast. Wood chips on the ground, so fairly soft. Lots of shade.

This is a very intriguing neighborhood to walk or drive through, in regards to the architecture…read more The style was strongly influenced by the design of Frank Lloyd Wright (though none were actually designed by the architect himself) - the actual architect was one who had worked on some of Wright's buildings, Theodore Van Fossen. The initial home and the idea were that of the Wakefields, with Martha getting the credit for the idea and her husband Richard for the construction, per the signage in the neighborhood. While a close-up tour would be fascinating, these properties are privately owned and lived in, so being mindful and respectful of that is appropriate. Nonetheless, you can still definitely get the vibe and vision from a nice stroll. The homes were designed to work with each other visually, as well as with the landscaping, which includes ravines. I heard they did have organized tours at times pre-pandemic, and that would certainly be something interesting to do should those start up again.
