About two month ago I visited to participate in a workshop on rain gardens, put on by the Central Ohio Rain Garden Initiative (CORGI) and sponsored by the Sierra Club. It was a really great introduction to the Center and how they incorporate several ways to prevent surface water runoff and use rain water in the design of their building, gardens and parking lot.
Exploring their site, I see an Events page, if anyone is interested, but don't see a newsletter to keep in touch. Perhaps one is available to members?

does anyone know what the weird stonehenge lookin' things are in the fenced AEP transformer area at the north end of the park? I didn't take a picture, but I'm curious. They look like someone has gone to the trouble of lighting them, but no explanation, and you can't get close...

Audubon cleanup under budget
By Mark Ferenchik
The Columbus Dispatch
Wednesday April 11, 2012 5:06 AMAlthough Metro Parks will spend an additional $489,770 to clean up Columbus’ former impounding lot at Scioto Audubon Metro Park, the final bill for the project is still expected to cost $700,000 less than the original estimate. Metro Parks still plans to open the area to the public by September. It should include trails, shelters, a restroom and an obstacle course.

Can't even express how much I love this place. I bring out-of-towners here every time someone comes in.Meanwhile, things are happening across the river, the homeless camp was cleared out and now you have a view of GIAC with the downtown skyline in the background.
Pedestrian bridge, please.

Does anyone know what's being built on Short Street, just south of the overpass and right before Columbus Brewing Company? From the maps, it doesn't look like that's part of Scioto Audubon, but it's really close.Is this what you are talking about?
