Scioto Audubon Metro Park turns a stretch of Columbus's river landscape into a place for walking, birdwatching, and outdoor recreation close to downtown.
Its combination of restored habitat and activity areas makes it a useful choice for visitors who want more than a conventional formal city garden.
Decide whether your priority is a quieter riverside walk or the park's recreation facilities, then choose an entrance and route accordingly. Some activities need their own equipment or preparation. Check Metro Parks for current facility rules, scheduled programs, and seasonal conditions along the trails.
