Glen Echo Park

Glen Echo Park is a beautiful little ravine park located in Columbus Ohio next to the railroad tracks off of Interstate 71 and is one of several such parks in this area of Columbus. A creek cuts through this park forming the ravine and many native plants grow on the slopes. Some of the wild animals that can be found in this park include red-tailed hawks, gray squirrels, chipmunks, raccoons, and many others. It is a great place for bird-watching and was first given to the City of Columbus on June 24, 1912. Come follow the park's walkway and enjoy the scenery!
