## About

Named for the scenic confluence where Alum, Big Walnut, and Blacklick Creeks merge together, Three Creeks Metro Park spans 1,100 acres of tranquil river bottomland and wetlands managed jointly with the City of Columbus. Thanksgiving weekend is a wonderful time to explore the park's extensive network of wide, paved multipurpose trails connecting directly to the regional Blacklick Creek and Alum Creek Greenways. Families can bike, scoot, or walk to the Confluence Viewing Deck to watch rushing waters meet under late-autumn sycamore and cottonwood trees. Along the trails, children can spot white-tailed deer, river otters, and great blue herons at Heron Pond. A natural play area featuring logs and sand offers unstructured creative outdoor fun for youngsters.

Family Experience & Accessibility:
• Stroller Accessibility: Exceptionally stroller-friendly with flat, continuous asphalt greenway paths and wooden boardwalk observation platforms.
• Nursing & Rest Spots: Confluence Area shelter provides heated modern restrooms with changing stations, drinking fountains, and sheltered picnic pavilions.
• Age Suitability: All ages; paved trails accommodate everything from pushchairs and balance bikes to family tandem bicycles and walking strollers.
• Sensory Tips: Flowing creek sounds, open skies, and gentle tree canopies; uncrowded expansive trails provide a calming, grounded post-holiday experience.
