Explore the Treetops: Blacklick Woods Metro Park's Canopy Walk Grand Opening!

Exciting news is buzzing in Central Ohio! Get ready to mark your calendars for an adventure-packed day because the grand opening of the canopy walk at Blacklick Woods Metro Park is just around the corner. On Friday, May 17th, at 10 AM, the park will unveil its newest attraction with a ribbon-cutting celebration that promises to be an exciting experience for the whole family.

Picture this: a 55-foot observation deck towering over the lush greenery, a 660-foot canopy walk winding through the trees like a magical pathway, and a playground of sorts nestled amidst nature’s embrace. If you’re imagining an outdoor paradise, you’re right on the money! This canopy walk is unlike anything else in Central Ohio, offering visitors a chance to immerse themselves in the beauty of the park from an entirely new perspective.

During our sneak peek last month, we couldn’t help but be amazed by the sheer wonder of it all. From climbing rope bridges to navigating cargo nets similar of the ones at Franklin Park Conservatory’s Children’s area, every step is an adventure and full of excitement.

And let’s not forget the breathtaking views! Whether you’re a nature enthusiast or simply seeking a new experience, the canopy walk at Blacklick Woods Metro Park has something for everyone.

But here’s the best part: accessibility is key. While you’ll get to the top via stairs, there’s also a wheelchair-accessible elevator, ensuring that everyone can partake in this extraordinary experience.

But wait, there’s more! The fun doesn’t end with the canopy walk. Blacklick Woods Metro Park boasts 652 acres of natural beauty, including woods, fields, seasonal swamp ponds, and more. Whether you’re in the mood for a leisurely stroll through the beech-maple forests or a serene bird-watching session by the buttonbush swamp, the park offers endless opportunities for exploration and discovery.
