Stopped to stretch my legs. Lots of people. I lucked out and got a parking spot in the small lot. Tennis courts, nice paved walks, some seating areas throughout, and a beautiful fountain. Great 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...Read More

Very pretty park with a fish stocked pond and water feature. There are walking paths thru the park and benches to sit on and enjoy the park. There are trees throughout and various flowers blooming in spring.

Such a nice park, if only they had actual restrooms!(Not just porty pottys) I'm guessing if you rent their main brick building, it would have indoor bathrooms. …

Always beautiful, but there was trash around and I did my best to clean up what I found. Not the parks fault people are jerks!

I wish there was a leash law in effect at this park- almost every dog I saw was off leash! It makes me afraid to bring my dogs around.

My family loves this park. Paved trails allow us to navigate the park. We love how there are tennis courts, a playground and the pond near the gazebo.

Lots of dog walking and playing in the park. Tons of open area for running and ball games with pups.

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.

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.

There’s no playground here.There are no toilets here.There is plenty of room to let your dog run around.The entire park is a grass plot of land, so there is plenty of space to picnic on the ground. However, there are no tables.

I love this park. It's peaceful and serene most times, 2 blocks from the chaos of the city. A lot of times after visiting the dispensary, I go here to smoke and enjoy nature.
