A great place to walk with your dog. Really like the multi-purpose trail along side the river, but also appreciate the downtown skyline view.

Great walk and play area along river and into city. Great parks along route.

Nice park with the partially climbable water tower, outdoor rock climbing (shorter and taller - bring own harness), playground and more with lots of parking and views of the large bridge.

Scioto Park is a serene oasis, perfect for a leisurely walk, run, or relaxing in nature. The fresh air and gentle breeze make it a lovely spot to unwind. While the riverside area can be affected by pollen, it's still a great place for birdwatching, with opportunities to spot some rare species. Overall, it's a wonderful escape from the hustle and bustle of city life.
