Walnut Woods Metro Park

This review is about the Tall Pines area of Walnut Woods Metro Park specifically the Sweetgum Trail. I've been to this trail atleast 3 times. All in the summertime. I went today after a light snowfall. It's just as beautiful in the winter as it is in the summer. Just a different perspective.

I've always loved this trail. So does my dog Patches. I don't know when they installed this new bird watching sitting area by Wild Birds Unlimited but I love it! Saw several different birds and it was so relaxing to sit at a picnic table nearby.

I always love walking at the Tall Pines area. Actually I love walking all the trails. Nice flat trails which is wonderful for the physical challenged I saw a couple teaching their kids to ride a bike. This is a perfect safe place to do that.

Super easy paved trail. A little under water in one spot but not so much you couldn’t get by. Tick alert so we stayed in the paved trail. We went in the early morning so it was not busy and nice and quiet. There is a parking lot that has plenty of parking. No restroom facilities but does have a porta john on site. It was big and not too gross as they can be and had hand sanitizer which was nice. I recommend this park. We were able to make it a 3 mile walk. By using the loop through to make a figure eight. We came from Dublin so it was also a nice drive.

This is a relatively new park with lots of geometrically planted trees - it’s a bit odd, but beautiful in a planned kind of way. It features long paved trails looping around the park and through meadows and two dog parks for large and small dogs.

Very lovely park. We did the Buckeye, Monarch, and Kestrel trails. Very well maintained. Before setting off on our hike, the Ranger on duty was very informative on the area and shared insight on the frogs/salamanders currently out. She also warned us of the water on one of the trails. The playground area was also well maintained and had neat climbing rocks, a tire swing, and various other things children could climb on and play. The dog parks also looked great and we can't wait to bring our dog next time.

Very lovely park - well kept and my pups love walking the trails and playing at the dog park! The park ranger was also very kind and waited for my husband and me to get back to our car before exiting.

Loved this Metro Park! I was astonished by the beauty of the pines and sweet gum trees— absolutely breathtaking! Peaceful, quiet, immaculately maintained trails for hiking and biking. Saw various species of birds and all sorts of butterflies while hiking. Great little getaway! I spotted wheelchair accessible picnic tables, too, which I was excited about.

First time checking out the sledding hill. Kids had a blast! Plenty of parking. And it was safe. Best of all... free!

Very nice park. Some p a t h s are paved other p a t h s are grass.
