W-A-L-K the dogs at Wheeler or relax at Goodale Park
Dog owners looking for a space to walk the pups will find it at Wheeler Memorial Dog Park, an off-leash park close to the neighborhood’s south end on Thurber Drive. The park has more than 1 acre of space and split areas for small and large breeds. Victorian Village also sits just north of Goodale Park, Columbus’s oldest operating public park. Kept open since 1855, the 32-acre park overlooks downtown Columbus on its south side, making it a prime location to enjoy views all year, but especially during the city’s Red, White and BOOM! fireworks show in the summer and on New Year’s Eve. Goodale Park also features a gazebo, walking trails, a scenic pond and a playground. On the neighborhood’s north end, Thompson Community Park offers a space for residents to play sports, take art classes or go for an indoor swim year-round.
