Clinton -Como Park

This park is secluded even though it is so close to North High Street. The parking lot is very small in and it seemed like many of the people at the park visit by walking or biking from close by, or come from Olentangy Trail. There is a nice little playground with many climbing areas and both small and large sizes, catering to both toddlers and older kids. We came specifically for the playground and my little one loved it. There are many benches, one covered seating/picnic area, tennis courts, lots of open grassy area, the Olentangy Trail and some areas where you can go up to the water. If you go in the morning, the playground is fairly empty. Even as it got to the afternoon, it wasn't that crowded. Many families come to the playground, and many dog owners bring their dogs to run around or train. Sometimes there are dogs off leash, but when we went it looked like they were training their dogs. The owners were great at ensuring their dogs listened and didn't approach us. After being at the playground, we walked to the trail and found some steps down to the water where we saw ducks and geese. Great park, especially if you live close by. Otherwise, it's a little out of the way.

An excellent park for many activities. Most important to me, it is essentially an impromptu dog park nearly every evening. It is common to see 5 - 10 dogs running around and playing in an area of the park that is somewhat surrounded by brush in between Weber and Pacemont. There is a lot of open flat green space that is great for frisbee, soccer, football, baseball or anything else really. There is large hill near where the park meets Weber that is great to play on. The playground is in great shape and is usually very clean. Same goes for the shelters. Finally, along the river there are several little trails that weave in and out of the woods. Walk in and you suddenly feel like you are out of the city! Overall, this park is the gem of the neighborhood. I find that many people are willing to drive over just to enjoy it!

Great for family and pets. It has a basketball and tennis courts, sheds for party, swings, jungle gyms, slides etc. It also has a wide open space full of grass. Dogs love it. Also, it is close to the olentangy bike trail and the river. So when my kids tired out from playing and my dog from playing fetch and running around, I stopped by the river and just breathe in fresh air while watching geese swimming. It's very relaxing and refreshing. People in the park are nice and respectful. As you can see my dog loves it a lot!

Wanted to do some light kayaking. Not a great entry point (steps to water are deteriorating) but there is a good patch of water to navigate and relax on the water
