Apartments Near Highbanks Metro Park in Columbus, Ohio: Green Space Close to Home
Highbanks Metro Park is a 1,200-acre National Natural Landmark just north of Worthington, drawing roughly a million visitors a year to its shale bluffs, river overlooks, and more than 10 miles of hiking trails. For renters who want easy access to green space without leaving the city, it's one of the strongest arguments for choosing North Columbus over a more urban neighborhood.
What's at Highbanks
The park's signature feature is a 100-foot shale bluff overlooking the Olentangy River, reachable via the Overlook Trail. Beyond the hiking, Highbanks includes a nature center with wildlife exhibits, picnic shelters, a sledding hill for winter visits, and trails that pass through forest, open meadow, and wetland habitat.
More Green Space Nearby
Highbanks isn't the only option in the area. Blendon Woods and Sharon Woods Metro Parks are both within a reasonable drive, and the 13-mile Olentangy Trail offers a paved, multi-use path for biking or running that runs through several North Columbus neighborhoods.
