One of the country's biggest rose gardens
"There aren't many parks in the area," says Casteel. "So everyone in the neighborhood tends to go to Whetstone." At 149 acres, Whetstone Park is one of Columbus's most extensive public parks. Soccer fields and baseball diamonds stay busy during youth league seasons, and anglers fish the fully-stocked ponds. The Olentangy Trail follows its namesake river for 14 miles, taking hikers as far south as downtown Columbus. With thousands of roses and other plants, the Columbus Park of Roses is one of the country's largest rose gardens and attracts many for its regular live performances and events.
