About the Location
Trail Gateway
Hayden Park provides access to the Alum Creek Trail, making it easy to reach Shepard Park nearby.
Located along the greenway trail system, this spot is popular with locals stretching their legs, running their routes, or pedaling through to connect with Columbus's larger trail network.
Natural Escape
Spread across 10.097 acres along Alum Creek, this neighborhood green space offers a refreshing blend of woods and waterfront views.
The mix of open clearings and tree-covered areas creates little pockets where local wildlife thrives, while also providing some much-appreciated shade when the sun's beating down.
Neighborhood Haven
Though it might not be as sprawling as other Columbus parks, Hayden Park offers a peaceful retreat where nearby residents can enjoy nature without venturing far from home.
The calm setting makes it fantastic for unwinding during lunch breaks or finding a moment of quiet, even if you can hear the highway humming in the background.
What You'll Find
You'll discover picnic tables tucked away in corners that feel surprisingly private - ideal spots for enjoying an outdoor meal in peace.
Just minutes off the highway, Hayden Park offers that quick nature fix when you need to step away from the concrete and asphalt for a while.
