Confirmed from Scioto Park's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
218-acre state park with views of the Scioto River Valley, plus boating, fishing & hiking trails.

Scioto Park on Riverside Drive is a Dublin City Park,the one that has the stone memorial of Leatherlips. The park has a n upper and lower parking area. It also has a small amphitheater. Other amenities are restrooms,shelter houses,and an actual pay phone. I don't know if it still works but it's there.
Very nice park! The trees looked so beautiful in the sun. No walking paths, but lots of grass and benches. It's a great place to relax by the river and just observe(: (There's also a large grassy seating area with steps and a stage, so this might be a great place to host an event)
Nice park right off Riverside drive but away from the main road which avoids noise pollution. There is plenty of space for kids to play, including slides, swings etc. 3 party shelters are available that can be reserved before hand to avoid confusion . BBQ grills are also installed.
Went there for a small party. It was calm environment, small creek running by the one end and surrounded by very nice wooded area. Nice place to cater a party. Plenty of places for kids to play around and also have a volleyball net setups.
