First time visiting this park, and very impressed. Large open areas for a variety of activities, kids splash pad, picnic shelter with tables, walking path. Adjacent to Powell’s police station. Look forward to returning with my grandchildren.
I want to specifically brag about the Healthy Kids Running Series that our daughter has participated in for a few years now. The race series takes place in the Village Green Park in Powell. The park itself is clean and safe and has a fun play structure for kids , but the race series is soooo good too. The directors could not be more positive, inclusive or energetic. The volunteers are high school kids from Olentangy Schools National Honor Society and they are so courteous and complimentary and positive role models to the kids running! What a fantastic program for kids, from toddler thru elementary school. I can’t recommend them enough. Their website is healthykidsrunningseries.org and it’s the Powell Ohio location at Village Green Park. They do a Spring and a Fall series….come give it a try!
Fantastic park for small kids! My 4 year olds twins loved it there and it was easy for them to run between splash pad and playground but my only concern was my two older kids (9 and 6) were bored because to them it was too small. A lot of the kids bring cups and take splash pad water to the slides on the playground to make waterslides which is too good. Flooring on playground and splash pad are the same, nonslip spongy material. Perfect place for the 5 and under crowd!
Nice little park in downtown Powell. Small little playgroup that is best for kids 6 and under. The splash pad is nice but small and probably also best for younger kids. The splash pad is free of charge.
There is plenty of room to sit in multiple grassy areas and there is a small pond with a walking path nearby. There is a larger covered pavilion with picnic tables and a Pepsi machine. There is a water fountain between the splash pad and park and public restrooms are in the municipal building.
There’s a good amount of parking and all of this is within walking distance of two ice cream places in downtown Powell.
Very nice park in the center of Powell. It has paved walking paths, playground, shelter house and much more.
