Woodward Nature Preserve

I go for the Tennis courts! (I play pickleball on them though) There are markings for pickleball, but you'll need a net, or just don't split hairs about out shots.

This place has a trail to ride your bike in the woods in the back or for walking or jogging there’s a tennis court a big field for soccer, football etc there’s a little deck where you can have party’s and more and there’s a park and there’s a basketball court and there’s DEER 🦌

The nature preserve is connected to Woodward Park. Use the parking area for the park. The walking path will take you to the preserve. Woodward Nature Preserve is small and has mostly paved trails through a wooded area. The trails are well maintained and there is a boardwalk over a small wetland area. The trail also leads to a pedestrian bridge over I-71 that goes to a residential neighborhood. There is 1 portable restroom in Woodward Park's parking area.

Easy paved loop through a wooded area. Not super quiet though as city noise can be heard on the trail

Great park. Paved paths and wooded trails. Tennis courts, baseball diamonds, playground and a pavilion w grill etc.

Great place to think bring family exercise or play tennis

Best thing, paved & unpaved trails! Park includes 6 tennis courts, 1 playground with two sets, 1 basketball court, plus a baseball & soccer/football field. There is a connector path to Alum & Olentangy Trail too. The nature preserve entrance is a quick walk from the playground & tennis courts, or you can keep following past that & enter from the other side of the paved loop. There is an inner loop within the unpaved nature preserve path. When entering from the paved trail & going left after the boardwalk - that’s the inner loop - you can go straight to the next fork & make a longer walk or go right & end up where you started, but the bigger loop is blocked, currently. There are 2 different parking areas. Found the main parking area to be the most convenient.
