Great park. Plenty of green space. It is right beside a small dam that my kids loved. The park has a nice sand area for kids in the shade, so bring sand toys. The playground is large with a variety of spaces that are good for toddlers, preschoolers, elementary age kids. They have a spiderweb rope area to climb, train structures for toddlers, and swings for all. A shelter house is nearby as well.

Took the grandkids here and they loved it. I use to take my kids here and they loved it also. Very impressed with how it has improved over the years. Nothing bad to say about it.

This is a beautiful park with lots of open space if you want to play a game or toss a frisbee, it also has a great playground that would be fun for kids of many ages. Very clean every time Ive been here also.

Not very good park for younger children of the age 1-4. There is a small area thats appropriate for younger children. 3 Baby swings and 4 adult swings. Train set play area for younger kids aged 1-4 years old. Big spider web attraction climb on jungle gym for bigger kids.

Very cool day. We brought our babies here to play. The kiddie playground has a padded floor. The mulch is rubber so your children dont get hurt. How thoughtful of the parks and recreation department. I love this place.

If we moved to Columbus, I’d head for this community to be by the park! Gorgeous, well kept, full amenities. We were looking for a place to stop to let the little ones play and this was perfect. Later in the day, after 2:30, puts playground in the shade, which helped on this 89 degree day. Interesting, well kept equipment, huge sandbox, electronic physical game that grabbed the interest of our gamer! There’s a beautiful amphitheater, huge shelter, great bathrooms, ball diamond, and enough room to fly kites, frisbee, etc. All bordered by Alum Creek. Be aware, there’s a bit of a walk down a short steep hill and over grass from your car if you need to haul ice chests. And no path for wheelchairs to shelter area that we could see.

Oh my goodness this park is so clean. My son loved it he was 3 at the time . They have a sand box and so many areas for the younger kids to play. The ground in the play area is padded so no stuffed up knees. Plenty of shade and lots of seats. This is a beautiful park your family will love it.

This is a really nice park. Lots of different things to do for kids. The playset is large with a good variety. There are swings and a separate sand area as well. There is also a large open grass field that will be good for throwing a ball or playing frisbee. We will be coming back for sure.

We love this playground. There are so many different types of play equipment for all different ages. Our only complaint would be that the swings were set way too high.mayne that was intentional so they couldnt get on them without an adult but overall a great time and lots of shade!

I got hit in the parking lot but its a cool park

Review №54

The hardest thing to do is to explain two other people wear this park is because when you say Alum Creek park they assume you mean the one on Alum Creek Reservoir which this is not. This neat little park is located just west of Otterbein in uptown Westerville. It has a playground and Alum Creek runs just to its West which is great for fishing. This stretch of Alum Creek has yellow belly catfish and panfish as well as some small mouth and of course carp. Its also very popular for the now-defunct for the most part game Pokemon go. FIVE STARS!!!!

I really like this park. Its really nice and relaxing. Great playgound for the kids and large grassy areas to play sports. There are also walking trails that head to downtown westerville. The only reason i didnt give it 5 stars was due to the fact that the bathrooms were closed when we went. So every time one of the kids had to go we had to leave.

Not your average playground setup by far=p great rope climbing web apparatus for young and old alike. Want quiet time, mosey over to the college auditorium. Would you like to watch the Alum Creek flow, stop by the damn. Great walk path and someone is actually knitting blankets around the tremendous trees =) #KevinDouglasBerg #KevinDouglasBergloveToTechBlog #KDBergLoveToCarBlog

This was a great park! The kids loved the playground portion, especially the climbing net in the middle. I was impressed by the grounds - very well kept with lots of space to run around, stroll, or kick a ball around. There was also a baseball diamond, a sand volleyball pit, and a huge sandbox area. The playground had a great rubbery ground (looked like imitation wood chips but they were all stuck together) that was perfect for playing on without getting hurt or getting stuff stuck in shoes.My only complaint - I wish there were more benches around the playground! My husband and I ended up sitting on the ground because the very few benches were already in use.

Its a really nice park for events but not a lot of parking for large events. I get that there are some people that just want to take their kids to the play ground, but when there is an all day festival going on please dont get nasty with the people who are monitoring the parking to ensure handicapped parking and large equipment drop off goes smoothly.
