Confirmed from Scioto Township Park And Nature Area'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.
Park featuring a playground and walking trails, plus tennis and baseball courts, and picnic shelters.

“Nice quiet walking trails that are out in the open and also goes back into the woods.”
Very nice park between Delaware and Marysville, my kids have always referred to it as the spinny park because it has one of those giant cirlces with handles that you can jump on And go around and around and around on until you get dizzy and fall off into the mud puddle, that's my kiddos favorite of course.
Great park. It has a baseball diamond, large open field for soccer, fishing pond, wetlands, playground, 2 shelter houses, barn, a paved walking path around the whole park, some large slabs of stone throughout the park explaining the history of the land that is now the park, tennis courts,portable restroom and plenty…
