I absolutely love this place. It takes you out of the city although it's right on the west side of columbus. Very peaceful. The wild life is plenty. It's awsome to sit in the car and watch a couple dozen of deer and there babies come out of the woods to start eating as the sun starts to set.

Growing up Big Run meant sledding after the first decent snow. I hadn't been back to Big Run Park for quite some time and I noticed some improvements. Less trash, grass was mowed,trails weren't overgrown and seemed to be well maintained.

In town on business and needed a walk. This is a quiet park. You have to use satellite maps to figure out where trails are in the park. I couldn’t find any trail maps that i could take a photo of. Heads up, idea there!

Wow! what a fantastic park for incline training 😆 The steep hill and gradual assent on the opposite side of the long loop give plenty of fun until exhaustion 😄 I took my bike down and around 4 times, then turned around and did once up the steep side. 😥 Once was enough. Had a blast. I've yet to explore the off-road trails, plenty to discover. Plenty of paved road for bikes or skaters. Great for walking, jogging, pets, and families.

For winter: FUN PLACE TO SLED! For Good Weather to enjoy outside.. the park is fun for the kiddos! And adults when you want to feel care free and have some carefree fun! But my favorite part is the trail in the woods! It has bridges, rock steps. A beautiful scenery. The perfect walk through nature without getting wore out. It's not a super long walk. It's enough to enjoy it. And almost everytime there are deer hanging out in the field as you drive in/out. It's close to home. And a great place for kids to burn some energy. And adults to relax! There is also a Gym for basketball. Not sure what else they do there.
