YouTubeThey're opening this weekend, there was a kickoff today. This place is a GEM in the heart of town, go there when it's raining to see the stormwater management techniques.
I'll be working a table tomorrow, wearing my FOSR bling.

We went yesterday afternoon after Urban Scrawl, and WOW!
I felt like I was in a totally different, very metropolitan city... that was still... this city.
It just feels so counter to everything Columbus has done development-wise for the last 50+ years, and in a really great way. This feels so new, like a big pressure release valve in the very heart of the city. I also love that it really raises the amenities level for German Village even higher, and feels like a real link between downtown and the west side. I also love how it gives us a glimpse into the real natural expression of the land at the heart of our city, as a reference point.
We arrived too late to see the inside of the building, but the outside looks intriguing so far. The style of architecture is interesting but also very hand-in-hand with its natural surroundings.
We walked out onto a viewing deck over the river and immediately saw a huge group of herons out in the water. We walked the trail right next to the river. Looks like a great running trail.
Will be back all the time. Soooo great. LOVE.

I haven't been inside, but biked around the outside ..... this place is great! Its amazing to look one way and you'd swear you were out in the country then you turn around and see downtown's skyline. Amazing! Plus the rock climbing wall looks fun.More specifically is the climbing wall nearing completion or open?

Editorial -- Undiscovered: So far, new Downtown park appears to be unknown to many
Sunday, June 27, 2010 02:57 AMScioto Audubon Metro Park is a Downtown jewel too valuable to go unappreciated. But that seems to be the case. Since its opening last summer, the 71-acre oasis where city dwellers in search of nature can enjoy a premiere stop on the migratory-bird highway hasn't attracted big crowds.

We road our bikes to Jimmy V's on Saturday and detoured to the Audubon Center on our way there. My girlfriend had never been there or even knew about it for that matter.
It's a beautiful center. The observation decks are well done and the climbing wall looks like it's satisfying climbers.
Whoever is managing this center needs to do a better job of getting the word out.
A series of relevant events that drives traffic and awareness to this park may be the best way to get the word out.

I want to scout the bike path between the AC and the Scioto Mile, as a potential site for a honeysuckle cutting event. Last Friday I spoke to someone in the City Watershed Maintenance department, and she said the city can provide a chipper crew for work there.

Why do you want to cut down and shred the honeysuckle?
