Nestled right next to my mom’s house, Johnston-McVay Park in Westerville has become a frequent destination for us. This charming playground is hands down one of the cutest around, and the park itself is simply beautiful. The developers made sure to preserve the mature trees on the property during construction, adding to its serene atmosphere.
Johnston-McVay Park is brimming with fun, whimsical, nature-inspired features that make it stand out. The highlight is undoubtedly the amazing hawk play structure, complete with climbing ropes inside. Kids will also love the wobbly log swing that has three spots, perfect for friends to swing together. Other delightful elements include a butterfly climbing structure, wood climbing logs, roller slides, and even hammocks in shaded areas. The enchanting storybook trail further adds to the park’s unique charm.
While the park may not boast an overwhelming number of play features like some playgrounds you see, the ones it does have are fantastic. It’s a perfect spot for a relaxed family outing. I highly recommend bringing a picnic and a blanket to fully enjoy the park’s inviting atmosphere.
Convenience is also a key feature of Johnston-McVay Park. There is a decent sized parking lot right next to the play area entrance and it is equipped with bathrooms and a drinking fountain, making it easy to refill water bottles and stay hydrated during your visit.
Plan a visit to Johnston-McVay Park, located at 480 S. Hempstead Rd., Westerville, OH, and experience its whimsical charm for yourself. It’s a delightful spot that offers both fun and relaxation for the whole family.
