Audubon Park

Your Local Green Escape

Tucked away in Columbus' North Linden community, Audubon Park offers 7.346 acres of leafy respite from urban living. This modest green space along Audubon Road isn't the biggest park in Columbus, but it offers plenty of neighborhood charm. The mature trees create dappled shade across the well-kept grounds, making it a nice spot to take a break from city life.

What You'll Find Here

Despite its compact footprint, Audubon Park packs in plenty of ways to enjoy the outdoors. Basketball enthusiasts can shoot some hoops on the well-maintained court that local players have come to love. If you're bringing the kids along, the playground area offers the classics - swings, slides, and climbing equipment suitable for different ages.

Need to get your steps in? The walking track loops around the park, great for a morning jog or an evening stroll with your four-legged friend. The open grassy fields scattered throughout provide ample space to toss a frisbee, practice your cartwheels, or simply spread out a blanket and cloud-watch.

Get Moving or Just Relax

Dog owners will find the park's open layout gives their pets room to stretch their legs and explore. Thoughtfully placed doggie waste bag stations at both ends of the park make clean-up convenient - a small touch that makes a big difference for the community.

When you're ready to take a break, head to the picnic area where tables await your packed lunch or impromptu afternoon snack. Just note that there aren't any restroom facilities here, so plan accordingly for your visit.

A Nearby Retreat

What makes Audubon Park special is its role as a community gathering spot. Unlike some of the city's more crowded parks, this one tends to be quieter, with birds often heard singing throughout the space. The grounds are kept clean with strategically placed trash cans, reflecting the care that goes into maintaining this local green space.

North Linden residents have the convenience of Audubon Park being within walking distance. If you're coming from elsewhere, you'll come across street parking available on the surrounding residential roads. The park provides everyday access to nature close to where people live.
