Highbanks Metro Park

A fantastic park! Multiple trails slow you to visit natural and historic features. The playground provides another option for kids to play. The nature center has a window on wildlife, an extensive library, and indoor play are, in addition to hosting educational programs. There are designated trails and areas for bringing along your dog. Some of the trails are more flat and very easy, some have steps and go into the ravines.

Scenic and enjoyable hike throughout the park. Great Native American historic sections. Great riverside views and an amazing overlook. Pool family cemetery is peaceful with the amazing centuries old trees nearby. Awesome arched wood bridge.

Incredible beauty...lots of hiking trails adding up quite a few miles. Very well kept,lots of restrooms, playground, picnic, nature center. Beautiful river going thru it💜

Highbanks is one of the busier metro parks, so obviously most people like it already…but I want to give a special shoutout to the Christmas lights they did this year. It’s great to give people a reason to go in the evening in the winter, and lovely that it’s free. It’s not a huge display, but it exceeded our expectations.

It’s an absolutely gorgeous, huge park! If you get the chance, ask a park ranger for a Metro Parks Passport — you can use it to explore other Columbus parks, collect stamps along the way, and even trade them in for a free commemorative T-shirt.

I love this place! My spa is next to it inside Meijer so I go over there whenever I have a break and take a quick 2 mile run. I was just there actually, today. The trails are a little muddy, but this temperature isn't bad to get outside today.

I’ve always loved walking at Highbanks Metro Park ,The Christmas lights this year are really something special—perfect for a winter evening stroll.

Moved to the area recently, first time coming to this park & loved it! So peaceful here and pretty
