Scioto Audubon Metro Park is a 120-acre heaven for birds of all kinds.

The park is lush, green, and as inviting for humans as it is for wildlife. It is part of Scioto Mile, a Columbus urban green space along the riverfront. Once industrial wasted landscape, Scioto Audubon is now a popular recreational and educational destination for all ages.

It has miles of trails for walking or biking, with benches where you can relax and try to spot a water bird or a bird of prey. There is a fun obstacle course to make you sweat, several volleyball courts, a rock climbing wall, and even a dog park. There is a boat ramp for boaters, kayakers, and fishermen. In the winter, there is a sledding hill between obstacle course and bocce courts.
