Get Outside & Get Moving
Your Metro Parks offer a wide variety of fitness & recreation opportunities. Throughout our 20 Metro Parks you’ll find activities like rock climbing, biking, backpacking, cross-country skiing and archery. Kayaking, canoeing and fishing are available at a few Metro Parks and are a great way to see nature in a relaxing way. We’ve even got bridle trails, two mountain bike trails, two golf courses and three disc-golf courses for those who dare! You’ll also find trails that are great for runners, obstacle courses and fitness courses. Embrace the outdoors and take your workout to a Metro Park.
Ditch the Treadmill
& Hit The Trails
Walk your way to a healthy heart in your Metro Parks. Checkout the Greenway Trails if you’re looking for a long and invigorating bike ride or training for a 5k.
Try one of our two obstacle courses for an outlet for some excitement and for something new. Obstacle racing provides a great combination of cardiovascular and strength training. And it’s free!
Scale Our Outdoor Climbing Wall
Scioto Audubon is home to the largest free outdoor climbing wall in the country, 35 feet high. Bring your ropes or register for a class and we’ll provide the equipment.
