This is the best park ever!! The landscaping is always well kept with all the beautiful flowers and greenery. Its very calm and peaceful. People appear very happy in this park; they even say Hello and speak to you. The park rangers are very kind, and you feel safe because they are always driving around in all the park areas. I have been visiting this place for over twenty years with no complaints .

I really enjoy this park! I regularly do what I call a butterfly loop that totals around 3miles starting at the back parking lot. Wonderfully maintained park and lovely woods.

If you are looking for a park to walk your dogs, Blacklick Woods has only one trail that allows dogs out of the many that are offered. I have spoken with others looking for the dog approved trail, but so far, no one I have spoken with has either found it or is able to give directions to where it might be! There are large green spaces, however, with benches and tab l s for picnics ( which is exactly what I did with my two fur babies, absent talking a nice walk. Dogs can play with you in these areas, but must be leashed and able to maneuver past all the other dogs confined to the green space after learning that all but one of the trails prohibit dogs! On really lovely days, this can get a wee bit dicey!

It was peaceful. It was quiet. It was very relaxing. There were several families setting up for birthday parties but it wasnt distracting at all. Would go back again as the leaves start to change. Very beautiful

Very nice park. Nature trails are peaceful. Lots of cool wild flowers and different types of birds spotted during my walk.

Amazing weather today. I roamed into the woods and found the best log to meditate on. In my stillness, I blended in with the trees. I became convinced that straddling a log was the most grounded asana ever. Its kind of like a horse stance in karate. Namaste

Had some fall family pictures taken here. Very nice fall scene with the colorful trees. Nice park. Good walking and bike path.

Its a great place to get out and still be socially distanced from others. These recent warm days have been lovely at the parks.

There are a lot of sweet trails. The swampy pond area is surreal because all the fallen trees and green water. The nature center is great for kids and adults alike. It was cool to see about 7 raccoons feeding all at one place. The areas were well kept and there are a lot of amenities for all types of events. There are bicycle trails and hiking trails too. There is also a pond and other cool spots throughout the park.

Love this park.We did geocaching today as part of the Metro Parks GeoTrails program.Saw wild turkeys as we left. Turkey to far right gave us a nice show of feathers.

Always beautiful lots of trails for different activities. Plus frisbee golf. The natural play area has a lot of fun stuff for kids, zip line, see saw, walking trails.

I love everything about Blacklick park its huge for walking, it has bbq grills, and more than one playground for the kids. Nice clean family fun.

Absolutely stunning leaves! We had our family photoshoot here and loved the open spaces, trees, leaves, and the spaced out picnic tables.

Blacklick Woods Metro Park is a relaxing place to eat and relax while enjoying nature. My friend and I had bought chicken sandwiches from Boston Market along with the rest of the meal and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. The only drawback was there was a lady in the car next to us talking very very loudly. Please be mindful of others when you are in the park and you are on the phone.

I visit this metro park very often. It is always a great place to clear my head on the trails and see some excellent wildlife. The rangers here are always friendly and willing to help in any way they can. Blacklick also has great shelter options for rent for parties, reunions, and cookouts! Definitely recommend

Stopped in to celebrate a friends kids birthday. The park is spacious and open. No litter was noticed. We did have to deal with a little mud but that comes with playing outside with a gaggle of children.

Not far from main roads but still secluded, in a sense. Variety of flora and fauna to learn about. Theres playgrounds, trails, a swamp, restrooms, a Nature Center (open October-March), decent parking, picnic table areas, dedication/memorial benches, and those are just the areas Ive seen so far.

This is a beautiful park. Just be aware that huge groups are meeting here. There was a group of 20+ people doing a slip n slide near the first parking lot, and they killed the grass. I saw rangers while there & they did nothing. Total of 4 huge groups of people.

Im a traveler and when Im in a town, I look for a good place to run. This park was one of the best. Go in the morning and see the sun coming up thru the meadows. Beautiful.

Nice place..too many people for my liking but in all fairness it was a beautiful day..also could hear the freeway pretty good..but still a lovely hike.

I love our metro park system. Columbus metro does a good job of maintaining, valuing, and providing beneficial community and environmental service through our metro park system. I travel a great deal and try to hike wherever I go. Columbus metro parks system is one of the best Ive experienced. Great value for investment. Clean, safe, and good trails; wooded settings in an urban environment.

Always a great visit!! Blacklick is THE best metro park in Ohio! Always clean and well maintained! We have visited the snapping turtle in the pond for over 12 years. I loved it as a kid and now my kids love it!

Nice park. Plenty of grilling areas and tables. Playground. Trails. Basketball courts. Soccer fields.

I love this park but unfortunately today I took my kids and there was a group of over 20 people having a cookout. Signs say no more then 10 people and rangers just kept driving by not saying anything. Respect the rules people.

Absolutely beautiful. So nice to walk the dog or walk kid lol just all around a fantastic place. I love working out there too its just a great place :)

My husband and I walk at Blacklick Woods almost everyday weather permitting. One of our favorite places These pictures were taken there of us this year

Beautiful park, lots of shaded paths and wide open areas, restrooms are clean, lots of tables and grills and paved walkways so its very accessible for disabled patrons.

Beautiful Park, its treat for nature lovers. Lots of place for barbecue and parking too big actually. Two Playgrounds for children to play around and they will never get bored.

Paths were nice. Lush vegetation. Clean.

Great park! Well kept amazing wildlife

Perfect hiking ares.

I have a great idea. Lets go to a park where there are a lot of wide and winding walking trails. THEN WALK IN THE ROAD WHERE CARS DRIVE!!!! Best idea ever.

Blacklick is available for ANY event you want to have. No need to register unless you want to use the buildings for an event. Multiple hugh areas and two different playgrounds allow for great family fun. There is a walking trail and an exercise bar area to stretch before you exercise.

I walk here often, I like the boardwalk trail near the nature center. Even on the hottest days the forest is cool.

Just a nice place for a stroll. Plus we saw three deer!

It is a mediocre park. You can hear the noise of a near highway and I didnt like it too much. I came across a water fountain. There ara a lot of open spaces without trees. If you are going to Blacklick Metro park during summer, bring a sunscreen.

Good spot to go and kill some time with your kids

Such an amazing place!! I walk here often and tend to always find something of nature to photograph!

Nice trails. Nature center still isnt open

This is a very nice park. My only complaint is that there should be more signage, especially indicating how long trails are.

My kid walks for hours at this place. Love it and we dont have to be around people

Great park with lots of trails that connect to other metro parks. Its a busy park but obviously the community loves it!

This is the best park in our area. We live about three blocks away and spend the majority of our summer here. There are three playgrounds here, each with different equipment, for different ages. The shelters are clean and open, surrounded with grassy area for games. We used a shelter for our daughters first birthday party and had a blast. The shelter was easy to decorate and large enough for our fifty guests. The kids ran around in the grass and played at the playground. We walk the trails with our kids and visit the nature center. This park is fantastic for families.

Great we love trailing through the woods and my kids love the playground

Great place to take younger kids to get energy out

Had an amazing walk with the love of my life.

Ive been going to Blacklick Woods since I was a kid. Its a beautiful park with lots of amenities like shelter houses and other places you can schedule for events.

Blacklick Woods Metro Park Nature Center has a fun play area for kids. My 2yr and 4yr loves visiting the nature center for bird watching, and talking to the nature guide about the animals. The walking trails and playgrounds are great for little kids.

This place was busy for 9 am in early June on a Monday. This was one of the busier metro parks on par with Highbanks. It has a good amount of shelter areas. We took the Greenway Trail from the back parking lot near the nature center. It took us to a creek after. 5 miles or more. You do go down a decent hill where my 5 year old wasnt able to bike back up. The creek was easy to reach but very, very Rocky. It wasnt small enough for my 2 and 5 year old to cross either. But lots of rocks to throw.

The park is very well maintained...and super busy today. So great to see so many people smiling, enjoying their day and most importantly - so pleasant and kind to each other!

Nice place. I took the pictures with my drone

This is a beautiful park. Lots of trails and a couple of huge playgrounds. Five Stars for sure.

This Destination was always a must for a Elementary School Field Trip! We came from all over the City! The James Road Elementary School was MY Tribe. We took a peak at This Countryside in the City and listened to Our Teacher as She showed US a Cacoon, an active Bird nest and maybe a Beehive before a quick Headcount then back on the BUS WED climb that would take US back to the City Life from which WED come! Thanks to the many Teachers for Thier patience and Care for Kids like US!

Nice trail has two parks and an open basketball court great for 1v1s for the ballers but its quite small compared to others

Used to live in Columbus as a kid. Loved coming to this park, specifically to check out out the wildlife at Ashton pond. Saw frogs, turtles, fish, raccoons etc

Always a wonderful place to come. Ive loved it since the 80s. Great easy geo spot too!

I love going to bpacklick woods and taking the kids. With this virus its one of few things we can still do. We enjoy it always.

We really enjoy this park. We bring our daughter here all throughout the summer because it has nice walking trails and a couple playgrounds. She never gets bored and if you play Pokemon Go, the place is littered with pokestops and gyms with raid battles. This park is a hot spot during community day.

I love my church ladies Bible study held out in nature

Great quiet park! Very well maintained.

It was a beautiful day for a walk in the park!

Main trail is sometimes a bit busy with bikes and people, but its mostly flat with pavement on the first couple of miles. It also has some smaller lesser used trails and a nice small nature center.

It was great to get out with my wife and little .

This is a great place to workout due to the exercise equipment and really fun to research nature.so definitely bring your kids to learn and enjoy the great outdoors

Even though we had to keep our distance, it was a wonderful Day. The rangers did their job respectfully.

Beautiful and scenic with plenty of picnic areas. Theres also a small natural center with bug hotels and bird feeds. Workout areas and long trails (walking and biking) available for exercise. Look out for bunnies and deers!

Always a pleasure walking through here. Park is clean of garbage and debris. Beautiful trees to see and a river you can skip rocks.

Nice walking trails..and park area!

Great big park! Wasnt expecting it to be as big as it was. We came for the You can eat that! class and it was awesome! We loved it!

Beautiful park! It was well maintained. The Butternut area was rented for a reunion and the park rangers came out twice and checked on us and even collected our trash.

What a beautiful park! Lots of people enjoying themselvrs.

Love going here and yes we are social distancing! Also wearing masks

Clean and well maintained walking paths. Shade was great on an 88° day

Grew up here, very nice place

Great park with lots of opportunity for working out walking and riding your bike.

The trails in this park are a pleasure to walk. The park is so beautiful and well-maintained

Beautiful place to enjoy with the family walking or cycling...

This place is amazing for nature walks. They have a lol spot for kids and the park is huge.

Great east side park to enjoy nature

Beautiful Fall colors

Quiet, peaceful, relaxing. A very beautiful place to just be.

This park reminds of the late 60s and early 70s. The walkways and the nature center are kind of a homey feeling, but the noise from 24, 7 traffic, ugh. A nice getaway for awhile in the woods. And seems pretty safe.

Birthday Party for Mr. ROBERT LOCKLEAR. ENJOYED my time with Tiffany Locklear family and friends#5star.

Beautiful amazing scenery lots of differant trails and playgrounds . They have a habitat center where people can learn about all the natural wildlife wonderful place for the entire family.

Love this park. Both small trail and long trail. If you go in morning, you will usually see deer. Mamma with babies, just laid there and looked at me. Beautiful park

Kids love this playground and trails

Trail is 4mi plus an additional connecting trailBike..waling..running

Beautiful park, very big, and lots of kids play areas

Blacklick woods is always a good place to go. My wife and I like to eat lunch there, we ate lunch there today, then we walked a trail. Always a good time to go to Blacklick woods.

Lots of trails. Places to have parties. A nature center. A great place to hang out all day.

My favorite Columbus park! Great placeto have a picnic, family reunion, or cookout. Also a great place to go biking and/or walking. Theres a great loop you can walk thats almost exactly 3 miles. Gorgeous, well-maintained trails (both off road and paved/wood-deck).

Good park. Lots of field space. At least 2 playgrounds for the kids. Hiking/Biking trails are shaded and well-maintained. You can walk in your bare feet without too much problem. Plenty of parking space too.

Blacklick Woods is a great Metro Park! It has walking trails as well as a multi purpose trail for biking and jogging. On top of that it has a very nice, reasonably priced18 hole golf course as well as a 9 hole course that is free to play for Franklin county residents. There Is also a playground for kids. There is simmering for everyone at Blacklick Woods!

Well maintained paths that are shaded. Lots of shelters for picnics.

Well designed, well maintained, something for everyone.

Such a beautiful Park lots of different trails to walk overall nice relaxing vibe

Very pleasant place for a large picnic. Plenty of green space for games and exercise. Cooking areas are large and safely separated from the shelter. Shelter is large enough to hold over 100 guests. The parking area is dedicated to the Butternut shelter, which makes it preferable to the shelters that share parking. Park is well maintained.

The nature center was fun for my toddlers. They had a lot of fun watchinf the fish, bird view and the toys and puppets. Great spot for kids!

Great place to walk in the morning!

Nice place to hike and bike all you want :)
