Ben Hanby Park

Another favorite of Baby K, and a good park all around.Driving past, she didn't see regular playground stuff so was disappointed. It's a newer park, with sort of modernist play equipment. Once she tried it out, she loved it. Right now the big treehouse/slide area is closed, but there is a toddler playground, and swings, and the whole area has a soft rubber surface plus some "hills" that she liked running across.Nearby are several "porch swings" that are popular, plus a railroad station-looking shelter with bathrooms. There's a "Presidential Grove" of trees, and some open areas. Plenty of parking to the west- come in from the library lot.A great park, in a handy location. We'll be back.

I like the addition of the sprinklers but the area is quite small and gets congested quick with kids running around.As well, the playground isn't anything to brag about. The 2 slides have obstacle course you must climb to get to them and I can easily see kids getting stuck at top or falling.There's a lot of open space and I was very bummed to see how small the water area is and the park in general. This is definitely the worst splash pad in Columbus. Stinks because we live in Westerville.Hands down I'll still continue to travel to Powell, Hilliard, Delaware and Dublin before I come back to this extremely small park...The shelter is super small. Only positive in my eyes are the swinging chairs that watch the splash area and the bathrooms.Westerville you really disappointed me with this!!

My 5 and 7 year old love it here. Cool climbing structure, swings and small fountain area. A small pavilion, padded play area, parking lot right next to it, near the library and bike trail, bathrooms, and lots of benches. It is usually busy but not crowded!

Well it's a splash pad.... however its down for maintenance...... until today.... open theoretical tomorrow...... it does have a nice playground attached

I think this is a pretty cool park. They built it just a few years ago so it's pretty new, or at least parts of it are new. There's history about an old train station that used to be there. There's a bunch of picnic tables under an awning and also some picnic tables out in the sunshine. There's a park with a climbing wall type structure that looks pretty cool. I'm almost 30 so there's no way I've gotten the courage to climb it yet. Maybe one day. Lol There's a few different jungle gym pieces and quite a few swings. Also a handicap swing which is so neat and inclusive. There's a little water park for the kids in the summertime and large swing benches along the water park which are fun to sit on in any weather. It's very relaxing there and we sometimes take books or snacks and sit in the grassy patch to enjoy watching life go by on nice sunny days. There's a Dairy Queen right down the road from here so sometimes we walk there first and bring treats back to enjoy in the park. Our pup likes the kids size peanut butter sundae best. There really is a lot jampacked in a small area here but this is a pretty neat park to have close to home. If I had kids I could definitely see myself spending a day here. Kids seem to love the water park that shoots water out of the ground. I mean, how could they not love that?! Lol I love it and I'm an adult!
