Great place for a walk and its close by. Take your binoculars and do some birding, fish from the bank, or just enjoy being outdoors. Route 33 traffic noise can sometimes intrude but is never a big problem. Watch the rowers, kayakers, fishermen, or water skiers on the reservoir. Depending on the time of year some of birds you might see include: Blue Birds, Cedar Wax Wings, Red Tail Hawks, migrating Warblers, Common Loons, Double-crested cormorants, Wood Ducks, Mallards, Canada Geese, and Bald Eagles. If you try your hand at fishing expect Bluegills, LM Bass, Carp, and catfish but beware of the size limit on bass.. Many improvements have been made to the park in recent years including beautiful flowered rain gardens to deal with storm water runoff. In recent years more locals have been picking up trash as they walk making the place more pleasant for all who visit.

A nice little park/nature reserve, the main attraction is Hayden falls. Has a well maintained boardwalk along the stream. There is no attendant of any form present, though the signs say that its open from dawn to dusk. Parking can be a nightmare if a lot of people are there, since the lot is sandwiched on the side of Hayden run Rd just below the intersection with Franz/Dublin. Also contains a highly sought after Pokémon go gym, typically mystic controlled.

Overall good park, not a tremendous amount of play items for kids, but they do have some grassy areas for kids to run. The park is very dog friendly, many times people will have their dogs run around in specific areas of the park. There is a nice pathway that cars can drive, but also it makes for a wonderful place to walk along the river.

A beautiful park along the Scioto River. The wide path is perfect for walking, biking, running. Very dog friendly and most dogs are leashed. There are several picnic areas and even a frisbee golf course. Convenient and easily accessible with ample parking.

Beautiful riverside park. The disc golf course can be busy at times but is a fun, medium difficulty course. As of November 2015 there was a pair of bald eagles roosting on the west side of the river.

Nice park along the river for a walk or run. There are many picnic tables throughout the park, and there is an open-air shelter that can be reserved/rented as well.

Lots of great hiking opportunities, some of the best are not marked. Explore South of the boat club and walk miles along the river to below the dam. Pet friendly.

My go-to spot for bank fishing! Wonder little area for a park. Does not have much in options for playgrounds or gathering areas, but a great place for a walk/run.

Seems to meet the needs of many. Access to water for boating and fishing. Trail for walking & running. Plenty of green space. Bathrooms arent that plentiful.

Great place for picnics and walks/runs. I used to go here on my lunch breaks, sat on the dock and dipped my feet into the water. Very relaxing.

Everyone that has a boat or kayak or anything that floats on the water, thinks they are the s@$$#. Cant fish in peace at all.
