Central Ohio's largest Metro Park: 7,358 acres of forest, prairie and wetland along 13 miles of Big and Little Darby creeks. Bison have been reintroduced and roam two enclosed pastures; the flat, gravel Darby Creek Greenway Trail (5 miles, ADA) passes between the two bison pastures. The Nature Center offers exhibits; there is also a sledding area and a skating pond in winter (weather dependent).
