About the Location

Where the Neighborhood Comes Together

Positioned in Columbus's North Linden neighborhood, Linden Park spans nearly 20 acres of green space that represents the community's backyard. After recent renovations, this park has transformed into a welcoming haven where locals gather, families play, and individuals find their own little slice of outdoor peace.

A Fresh Take on Community Space

Gone is the outdated facility of yesteryear. In its place stands an impressive 35,000-square-foot community center that's breathing new life into the area.

Step inside and you'll come across a spacious gymnasium, versatile multi-purpose rooms, and flexible spaces designed with South Linden's diverse community in mind. The center buzzes with activity - from senior programs that keep older neighbors engaged to summer camps where kids create memories that last well beyond August.

Get Moving Outdoors

The park's outdoor areas have gotten quite the facelift too. The athletic fields, ball diamonds, and tennis courts provide options for basketball, baseball, and tennis enthusiasts.

For a more peaceful outdoor experience, the fishing pond offers a tranquil spot to cast a line or simply watch the local geese go about their day. A walking path circles the water, creating a fantastic loop for a leisurely stroll or a morning jog.

Across the park, paved paths wind their way around open green spaces - ideal for anything from an energetic run to a lazy afternoon with a good book under the shade of a tree.

Fun for the Whole Family

Kids absolutely love the newly renovated playground next to the community center. It's clean, modern, and designed with safety in mind - exactly what parents are looking for.

When summer temperatures climb, the splash pad becomes the neighborhood's favorite cooling station, with squeals of delight from younger children providing the soundtrack.

Planning a family gathering? Multiple picnic areas are scattered across the park, complete with grills and comfortable table-and-bench setups - everything you need for a perfect outdoor meal.

A Park for Everyone

The recent redesign of Linden Park shows a thoughtful approach to creating spaces everyone can enjoy. The addition of a futsal court offers a fresh sporting option, while pollinator habitats show a commitment to supporting local ecosystems.

Dog owners will appreciate the open areas where four-legged friends can stretch their legs and socialize. And yes, there are clean restrooms available - sometimes it's the simple things that make a difference.

With its blend of recreational facilities, natural beauty, and community-centered design, Linden Park has become an important gathering place for the North Linden community.
