Exploring Apple Ridge at Sharon Woods Metro Park

The Metro Parks in Columbus are a true blessing. Not only do they offer a serene green space in the heart of the city, but they also organize amazing events and feature excellent playgrounds. Recently, our large nanny group gathered and it was tough finding an outdoor space that could accommodate such a diverse group of kids across a wide age range. Fortunately, Apple Ridge at Sharon Woods exceeded our expectations by providing all that we needed and more. It’s a perfect spot for gatherings of all kinds, whether it’s for moms, church groups, or just a casual get-together.

Apple Ridge boasts several amenities such as bathrooms, a drinking fountain, and picnic tables. The park is home to open fields, two playgrounds, and a toddler playground. You’ll also find swings, shaded areas, and a convenient parking lot. If you’re in search of a new and exciting spot for a big group, this is definitely worth checking out.

To get there, simply turn into the park and take your first right to Apple Ridge, which is marked by a sign. Follow the road until you see the park. Across the parking lot, you’ll spot another sign for a “natural play area.” This area is an absolute blast and features an abundance of sticks to build with, leaves to toss around, water to splash in, and so much more. Don’t miss out on this amazing spot!
