As the largest central city park (98 acres) and adjacent to two other partks (Nelson and Wolf along Alum Creek to the east) this is truly a beautiful place to escape the pace of the city. Visit the falls at the southwestern corner of the park or stop by the incredible gardens of the conservatory for a reprieve and refresher from the hustle and bustle of Columbus. Living next to this park is a true delight as even in winter it is beautiful and with the Conservatory and it's indoor environments it is a place to escape to all year long! Don't forget the bike trail along Alum Creek, a nice place to stoll or ride on a Sunday afternoon.

Pros: huge park, beautiful gardens, Conservatory

Cons: , none, none
