What parents say
"This park has such a great community of volunteers and dog people. The volunteers keep the gardens looking spectacular and the dog folks could not be nicer or more welcoming to newcomers. I love it here. Great off- leash areas for well/ behaved dogs."

"A few pics of the stage where the Actors' Theatre of Columbus puts on plays in the park all summer long. While it was originally all Shakespeare plays, it's recently added more contemporary fare. We took our out of town guest last weekend, and we all loved Chicken and Biscuits! She was impressed by the park as a whole and adored the theater space and the uproarious play. I'm eagerly anticipating Twelfth Night, starting next week."
