About the Location
Natural Escape
Northern Woods Park is a 18-acre natural retreat in Columbus that feels miles away from city life. The mature trees create a lush canopy overhead while the ravine land adds some interesting elevation changes to your visit - perfect if you're tired of the same old flat park experience.
Perfectly Positioned
Located in northwest Columbus, this green space is incredibly convenient if you live near the Easton/Morse Road area, Gahanna, or Westerville. It's one of those secluded areas that locals appreciate for being just close enough to everything while still offering a proper nature break.
Unwinding Options
If you're looking to decompress after a hectic day, the tranquil wooded setting is quite calming. While it's not a massive park, there's something refreshing about having access to genuine green space without having to venture too far from urban conveniences.
What You'll Find
Kids will gravitate toward the playground, which provides a spot for them to burn off energy while parents can take a breather. Basketball enthusiasts can shoot some hoops at the basketball court, and several picnic tables are scattered around when you're ready for a snack or outdoor lunch.
Extra Features
A charming gazebo offers a bit of shelter and a nice spot to gather with friends or family. The walking path meanders through the woods, giving you a chance to stretch your legs and appreciate the surroundings at your own pace. Note that you'll want to plan ahead as there are no restroom facilities available in the park.
