Goodale Park

Beautiful, large park with lots of sidewalk areas, perfect for walking with a stroller. It was busy the day we went as the weather was nice and it was a weekend. Many dogs were off leash, but did seem well behaved. The fountain is lovely and it was nice to look at the fish, ducks, and geese.

Nice city park, noticed some walkers and their dogs enjoying it in the early morning. Very pretty with fall colors in early November.

What a beautiful park we came upon today.... If you have not gotten to visit it has this beautiful fountain and pond!!! Loved it!

It’s a nice park. There’s a huge pond with a beautiful fountain and a nice walking path around it. Park is in the middle of the busy city, it was clean for the most part but there was a bit of trash outside of the little play-sets which are kinda small but overall nice.

Really like this park and the family did too. The kids liked playing in thr play ground and running around all over. This park has a cool little pond and a very beautiful building right in the middle. There are some tennis courts but we forgot to bring our rackets. We did notice that there are alot of different trees all through the park. Very cool to see the leaves changing on half of them. If we're in the area we will stop buy again.

A very nice and comfortable park. Plenty of benches if you need a rest and large enough to walk around, get plenty of exercise and take in all the beauty. It's a very calming refuge from the hectic city life.

Goodale Park is one of the best parks in Columbus. Just north of downtown it is to the Short North and Victorian Village that Schiller Park is to German Village.Goodale Park has all of the amenities that you would expect from one of the best parks in Columbus. It has a baseball diamond, basketball court, tennis courts, walking paths, a pond with a fountain, historical markers telling you the history of the park, playground equipment, shelter house, gazebo and much more.

Beautiful park, even on a cold, dreary winter day. We saw an albino squirrel!

I love Goodale Park. I love the fountain it's very beautiful and the elephants symbol good luck. Their is plenty of parking close to the park. I saw plenty of people walking their dogs and also people who were fishing. Nice place to just sit and enjoy the view or have lunch.

Beautiful park, but can get a little crowded (I was here on Memorial Day weekend). Beautiful fountain, nice walking trails. Gazebo is gorgeous, perfect for photo shoots. Yes, there are a couple of homeless people living in the park, it looks like, but I didn't get bothered -- I'd still stay aware though.

Lots of families in the park, lots of dogs, very family friendly and kid friendly - lots of playgrounds. Great place to spend an afternoon.

A beautiful park to stroll around - a fountain, a pond, a gazebo, playground area, plenty of spring blossoms - perfect to enjoy with a sip of ice coffee on a sunny spring day! I used to remember this park being dirty, years ago. But I'm surprised to find that it wasn't the case. The pond was also quite clean. There are plenty of metered parking spots around, which are free on Sundays!

My family has loved comfest for over 30 years. It happens at the beautiful Goodale Park. Great family friendly area. Lots of activities for the whole family.

It has grass and the ducks were gorgeous! It's an amazing place to sit and read, or go for a run. I highly recommend it. It wasn't crowded when we were there, but there were enough places to get food and drinks. It's close to the North Market, making it a great place to sit and enjoy food or a drink.

This was a beautiful park in Columbus. I had a few hours to wonder around and chose to walk here. I'm glad I did. The park was gorgeous, clean, and had a wonderful pond and statue. Definitly walk through and use this space to chill when in Columbus.

Went to Goodale Park for the first time while in Columbus visiting relatives. This park is the first public park in Columbus and is 170 years old. Established in 1851 it has weathered the years well and is still a gem glittering inside the city. Amenities abound, this is a park for everyone with many paved paths and mature specimen trees. The whimsical fountain in the lake is a showpiece. I hope you enjoy it as do many of the residents living in the area surrounding the park.

Love just hanging out like a weirdo in the park. This is the best park to be weird in.

Iconic location of ComFest. Great place to walk around, grab a cup of coffee on high Street, or food at the North Market. Relaxing pond with fountain, it's a fave destination for a bike ride in Columbus.

wonderful place to sit with friends, play music, meet new people and simply have a good time! was here multiple times during my trip to Columbus, and every time was a new adventure!

This is a beautiful park in the heart of downtown Columbus. With all the trees this park would be beautiful in any season. The pond is unique in having an elephant fountain. With a nice picnic area and a shelter house that can be rented for private events this would be a great place for children’s birthday parties or family reunions. Plus, it’s close to anything you might want to do downtown.

A wonderful metro park at the South end of the Short North. Goodale has many paved paths, grassy knolls, and benches to accommodate any activity. Great for families and dog owners. The main attraction is the fountain at the center of the pond.
