Tennis courts, basketball court, playground, baseball diamonds, gazebo and pond with fountain. A lot of activities take place at this famous spot!
This park has been recently remodeled and has a nautical theme. There is an area for little kids and one for bigger kids. Across the main street is Rockin’ Jump, so this is a good spot to visit before or after the kids jump around there.
Playground, sand volleyball court, pond, shelters, tennis courts.
Highbanks is named for its massive 100-foot-high shale bluff towering over the Olentangy State Scenic River. Tributary streams cutting across the bluff have created a number of deep ravines in the eastern part of the 1,200-acre park. Ohio and Olentangy shales, often containing outstanding large concretions, are exposed on the bluff face and sides of the ravines. Plenty of playgrounds all throughout the park!

This is a unique playground area with several playhouses that kids can go inside and use for pretend play. There are swings, a slide, a pretend fire truck to drive, some musical equipment and a few other things to keep the kids busy. The large shelter house can be rented out for parties and includes a fireplace, kitchen area and bathroom. Take a walk through the nature area to see the river.
This park offers a toddler section as well as a playground for older children. There is a Handel’s nearby so it’s a good place to get ice cream and then play!
This park is great because it has a section for toddlers and another spot for bigger kids. There is a rubber surface so you don’t need to worry about mud or mulch. During soccer season, this park is a very popular spot for teams to play. There are also baseball fields, volleyball, public art with a big soccer ball display (makes a good picture) and restrooms open seasonally.
This park has basketball courts and a shelter too!
Time has been turned back to the 1880s at Slate Run Living Historical Farm. Experience first-hand what life was like on an Ohio farm. As you stroll through the gardens, barns and farmhouse, you will see the farm costumed staff and volunteers going about their daily chores. Pigs, geese, turkeys, Percheron horses and other heirloom animals can be seen.
The gothic revival farmhouse was built in 1856 and restored by Metro Parks for authenticity. Guests can tour the living room, parlor and kitchen and watch the ladies prepare the meals and tend the house. The multi-bay barn was built by Samuel Oman, the fourth owner of Slate Run Farm, and restored by Amish carpenters.
New Playground has been added in Spring of 2019. Follow signs to the Buzzard Roost Picnic Area!
Continue past the Delaware YMCA and you’ll find this park. There’s a HUGE playground and one of the most exciting features is the dinosaur skull slide. Seasonally, there is a dinosaur themed splash pad open and a concession stand. The bathrooms are very clean. There are shaded shelters to sit and eat. You could spend a long time at this park.
There are a few playground areas and a big basketball court with a rubber type of flooring.
Bring fishing poles because there is a water area (used to be a quarry) and a dock to stand on while you cast.
There is a covered picnic table area but not much shade in the rest of the playground area.
The main playground of Mingo Park is under construction (as of July 2020) but the sign said it would be opening in May 2020.
Although the bigger equipment isn’t open, there’s still a slide, swings, little kid area and a few other things to do. The park had lots of shade under the kiddie area and trees in the lawn area where people were having picnics.
There’s also a skate park. Here’s that website: Mingo Park Skate Park
Near the pool area (closed summer 2020) is a creek. There’s a swing you can sit on and watch the water.
Visitors enjoy the area’s only “Boundless Playground”, butterfly garden, a bird watching station and fire pit. Take the opportunity to walk or bike the park’s 1.2 mile paved trail and enjoy a hike through the woods on the hiking trail.
Cool off with the park’s splash pad, which is open from Memorial Day weekend through Labor Day weekend. The Splash Pad is now closed for the season.
3 parks in one! Zip line along with 2 playgrounds- one is a blue green area and then a wooden castle playground. There is a third smaller playground around the corner as well.

The Penmanship Lab is operated by Leslie Catlett MS, OTR/L. Leslie’s educational background and clinical experience equip her to identify and remediate deficits in a child’s handwriting.
MISSION
The mission of The Penmanship Lab is to provide quality handwriting coaching to foster a natural and automatic skill, improve legibility and efficiency while having FUN!
Is Handwriting Coaching WRITE for your child?
Handwriting coaching is a great option for a child who is struggling with handwriting. There are various factors that may be contributing to sloppy or illegible handwriting (i.e. fine motor skills, gross motor skills, visual motor skills, incorrect pencil grasp, and limited instruction of letter formation); all of which can be easily identified and remediated by a handwriting coach.
