This park is a nice little surprise in the middle of suburbia. It provides some open green space. There is a small playground for the kids and an overlook of the river that are both easily accessible.It has a reservable shelter house that was hosting graduation parties the day of my visit. Surprise! There is also a path into the woods that parallels the river. The path has a hidden letterbox to find; go and be adventurous.
Very nice park right by the Scioto River. Up-to-date and modern playground options and, of course, the.old stand-by... swings. My cousin rented the pavilion for a party for his childs birthday. Plenty of trash cans to keep the park looking nice. Great stone pavilion with wood-burning fireplace area, too! Kids had fun on the playground. Can hear the water of the Scioto River rushing by in the background.
Scheduled a birthday party in the pavilion for my 2-year-old grandbaby. The city said the site is first come first serve and no reservations could be taken. We showed up and set up for a party and about an hour in a city worker came by and tried to force us out. They said an event had been scheduled even though events could not be scheduled for this area. He called the police and caused a huge scene during a babys birthday party. The police wound up letting us stay because this was a first come first serve area. If this is how the city allows their officials to behave we will definitely make sure we do not come back.
Beautiful park. We had my sisters bridal shower here. If it hadnt been ridiculously windy it would have been perfect. The only one issue we had was we had the space rented until 2 but workers came in about 1:40 and started cleaning up. At that point we didnt look at the time though so we thought it must be 2. So we were rushing around cleaning up and when we got into our cars we saw it was 1:47.
The neighborhoods were great, they had great views of the park, and the park itself was beautiful- flowers growing everywhere, and trees in every direction. There were the usual swings and slides that every park has, but there was also a firetruck, and a few houses that kids can play in and climb into. My experience at Amberleigh Park was great!
The city of Dublin canceled my pavilion rental for my baby shower 4 days before the event. I understand COVID concerns but 4 days? Things have already been purchased. Plans have already been set. So now we either have to scramble or cancel. Thanks a lot Dublin, you guys suck.

2019-05-25We found this park while visiting the area and it was such a pleasant surprise. My kids loves the little buildings and played “city” for quite awhile. Great place for a picnic and to run and play. The scenery was beautiful as well. Hope to pass through again.

2018-06-21We celebrated a birthday party recently in this sheltered pavilion. Its truly a wonderful place to have small to medium parties outdoors.Cool neighborhood, calm location, surrounded by nature and river, adjacent entertaining playground for kids, nice sit-outs, walkway and more. This Pavilion comes with comfortable kitchen for keeping, heating and serving food.This ambiance is better than a decoration for parties.

2021-06-06Held a Celebration of Life gathering and it was a great atmosphere. Very pretty views and lots of tables. Also has a sink, stove, and refrigerator if needed (with key). I enjoyed being there and the kid park was also very wonderful the kids enjoyed playing! I haven’t gotten to go see the creek areas yet but overall it is a very nice park to go to! Would be great to even just walk or take dogs for a walk there!

2021-08-09The park is nice, the playground is awesome. I didnt see a pathway from the parking lot up to the playground... Just stairs. Not sure if I missed something but getting up to the playground was a pain with a stroller because of the hill. If you have a wheelchair I would reconsider visiting.

2021-03-10A fun, clean playground with interesting play equipment. It is definitely not a “wilderness oasis” as it states on the website. It’s not really wilderness at all. All of the paths are paved and it does not have good creek access like it suggests. It’s hard to find or get down to the river/creek. Overall the playground is fun and different, but I think it’s portrayed differently online than what you actually experience being there.

2018-04-26This is a great park, especially for my 2 year old daughter. There are the usual assortment of swings and slides, but theres also a fun play town with a fire truck and small building to go in and climb on. There are also various paths to go on to explore. You can walk down to the river and through rocks or hike and find a GPS cache with a face carved on it. Its a great place to go!
