Johnston-McVay Park - Park in Westerville - 480 S Hempstead Rd, USA

Great park! My boys love to climb and this is one of their favorite parks to go to since there are so many things to climb on! The wooden logs with ropes to hang on to to balance, the giant eagle they can climb up inside of, the unique rope swing, and several hammocks give the kids plenty to do. And to top it off, (my personal favorite feature) the story trail- several post stations along the walking trail that features an entire book. Each post has two pages of the book displayed so the kids can read an entire book while walking (or running) the path. And even better, the featured book changes throughout the year. When I take my kids, usually start by telling them we have make it through the story trail and read the book, then their reward is getting to play on the playground!

Fantastic little park!! Close to the school and easy to park. The open bathrooms are a bonus. It is easy for police and parents to easily watch their kiddos as the open plan gives great viewpoints. Right off the bike path - this is a fantastic neighborhood addition.

Another great addition to Westerville's park system. There are many things to do and the park is laid out well. There are three parts to the playground. The first is the Red Tail Hawk Nest. Kids can climb around the nest, inside the hawk, or go down the roller slides. The second area is the vernal pool where kids can explore nature. The third is the butterfly garden. Kids can climb on the butterfly and swing. It looks like a wheelchair swing is going to be added soon. There are also restrooms available.

Fun little place. Kids love to climb 🙌

Great place for kids! A children's story book is displayed page by page along the trail.

The new park is great. Our kids loved the sled riding hill, but make sure someone is at the bottom to stop little kids before they go into the creek! Also, hammocks in the summer are a great idea, but they need to be slightly more heavy duty to make it through the season. Overall, hammocks in a public park are awesome though!

This was a nice park if you're close by. Many things to do but I wouldn't necessarily recommend if you have very new toddlers because the majority of things to do are climbing equipment and activities better fit for 3yo and up. They do have a large set of swings, and a "car seat" swing. This is a nice place to walk with a stroller. Lots of paved areas to access most of the park. I like the hammocks area, but they weren't the most comfortable.

Loved the storybook trail. Good variety of climbing and sliding equipment for small kids and bigger children. A group of boys enjoyed running around the open spaces and in the mud! Bathrooms were very clean. We will definitely visit again!
