Named for the confluence where Alum, Big Walnut and Blacklick creeks join, this 1,050-acre park is operated through a partnership of Metro Parks and Columbus Recreation and Parks.
Three Creeks is a major hub in the Franklin County Greenways program, an interconnected system of trails along the 7 major streams in Central Ohio. Hikers, bicyclists and joggers can enjoy 13 miles of trails that parallel the stream corridors as they wind through forests, fields, prairies and wetlands.
Owls, great blue herons and more than 100 species of birds have been sighted. Visitors may catch a glimpse of beaver, mink, coyote, deer and other wildlife as they walk or bike along the trails.
Three Creeks features five areas, each with a separate entrance and connected to one another through the Alum Creek Greenways Trail.
