What a great concept! On our trip from Columbus to come here, my wife and I were discussing how we keep clearing out nature for more houses, buildings, etc. This park did just the opposite. It WAS industrial. It could have easily been raised in place of new warehouses, houses, or shopping centers, but instead they filled it with grass, kept some of the buildings in the form of art, made a wooded area usable and in the process developed a beautiful, interesting and fun park.
Come take a stroll, read up on the glass company's history on the many scattered informative plaques, climb the observation tower, take in the beautiful combination of antique factory buildings, stunning glass displays, and Indian style mounds, or just sit and gaze across the serene lake.
Very cool park that you can explore. There is plenty of parking here so it shouldn't be too much hassle to find places to leave your vehicle. There is a tower you can go up and get an aerial view of the park and the rest of Mount Vernon. There are paths and even a large pond with a dock built halfway across it
This is easily one of my favorite parks to visit, and is an absolute must see if in the Mount Vernon area. My fiancée and I come up from Columbus to visit my family every weekend, and every weekend we make sure to set aside time to visit this park as well.
You won't be disappointed.
Great Pokemon hunting with amazing new friends! Of course there are lots of other activities. Love that they have real bathrooms (hate that they are closed for winter). Definitely a nice park to have a picnic, go fishing or just hang out!
One of Mount Vernon greatest attractions. It used to be merely a gravel pit. It has so much space, walking trails, three lakes, a tower to see the whole city from among an outdoor concert area and a perfect place for our annual fireworks display!!
