The Columbus Metroparks Web site is a great source of metropark information.
The Columbus Metroparks map shows the location of each park in Franklin, Delaware, Hocking, Licking, Madison, and Union County; click on a park and get detailed directions on how to get there.
For programs happening at each park, visit the program schedule, the online version of the familiar quarterly brochure describing programs and special park events.
A listing of park programs to preserve wetlands and wildlife can be found here.
Shelter houses can be reserved here. Visit each park's page directly for a description of the park, its' features, and its' services:
- Battelle-Darby Creek
- Blacklick
- Blendon Woods
- Chestnut Ridge
- Clear Creek
- Glacier Ridge
- Heritage Trail
- Highbanks
- Inniswood Metro Gardens
- Pickerington Ponds
- Prairie Oaks
- Sharon Woods
- Slate Run
- Three Creeks
I was surprised there is no news page, but reports are that the Whittier Peninsula, now filled with impounded cars and abandoned warehouses, will soon be another Metropark. Visit this article for details.
