Friendship begins with tulips. And, at one point in history, tulips were more valuable than gold. 😊This park blooms in Spring. Many pretty flower trees and colorful garden beds. It’s a wonderful gathering place for all ages. The weekends are typically eventful and crowded. I opt to walk around on weekdays for solace and peace. Come by, it’s darling here.There’s no admission fee. There is a small parking lot. It is also beside a quiet neighborhood. Drive slow. Go lovingly.
Inniswood is a largely volunteer-maintained collection of formal gardens, wooded hillsides, and meadows. It is well cared for, with paved trails suitable for strollers and wheelchairs. (Mind you, there are hills). Lots of wildlife and many flowers in spring, summer and fall, from local wetland wildflowers to a formal rose garden. Used regularly by professional photographers.
Love Inniswood! Always a hidden gem to observe and reflect upon❤️
Absolutely beautiful park!! Can’t wait to go back once the fairy tail is up
A park donated by the Innis Sisters and now a beautiful destination for families, photographers, nature lovers and people just out and about for a walk in a beautiful setting. Its broken into smaller sections each with a unique theme from the rose garden to the childrens garden. Something wonderful can be seen and enjoyed during all the seasons and plants and events are planned accordingly. Food is not permitted in the park but picnic tables can be found in the parking area. No bikes sports or skating is allowed in the park due to the nature of the park. No animals are allowed but service animals are the exception. Very handicapped accessable with two separate restroom facilities. One in the front to the right of the main entrance and one in the middle by the childrens gardens.
The park was very beautiful and kept up nicely. Very nice spot for photographers looking for places for engagement pictures, senior pictures, or family photos. Highly recommend the waterfall area.
Beautiful, very well kept and plenty of parking. Restrooms are clean and there are several located throughout. Loved exploring all the little parts and this park is now my favorite! Definitely worth the visit.
My new favorite place to explore nature! This place is impeccably kept, the trails are great, the gardens are beautiful. Do yourself a favor and spend a few hours here on a nice sunny day
Would have been more enjoyable if there wasnt about 20-30 different photographers having photoshoots there. I felt like I was in the way the whole time while just trying to enjoy the park.no dogs are allowed - which I appreciate as someone with a dog phobia.its also pretty small. the longest path was half a mile. I can see this place being good for kids but its meh for college students.
Beautiful flowers, lots of different landscapes, great places for kids to explore. Worth the trip.
Great place for shutterbugs..
This is a really unique metro park. Several different gardens are on the property and are all really well planted and kept. Paved and smooth boardwalk paths make this park wheelchair accessible. Several wildflowers can be found in the hardwood forest area. The Sisters Garden has several kid and family friendly areas including grandmas house, Native American story path, storybook trail, small wetland, treehouse, and winding paths.
Wide variety of plants, flowers and art. Was very busy but still enjoyable. Ample parking, restrooms available. Would definitely visit again!
Great park for walking, lot of trails, woods, flowers, birds, stream, greenery..Lot of parking and east access parking. 👌Park closes at 9pm..No bikes, sports allowed, no pets allowed,Rangers drive gasoline carts on the trails..The sound of their cart flew away all the birds..And spread gasoline smoke smell.. 😤
Very cool park. Lots for kids to see and fun little walking paths for them. Loved the variety of flowers and plants. A great mix between gardens and a metro park. Definitely check it out!
The attention to detail is vibrant throughout the many gardens. A lovely way to spend a morning or afternoon in a peaceful setting outdoors in the city.
Love to come here. Have been bringing my children for years. Always so peaceful and beautiful!
First visit, very well maintained, if u have mobility issues u will need scooter or wheelchair, some areas r not accessible for those devices. No pets allowed, it would actually ruin the solitude. If u r into photography, check out rock garden stream and waterfall. They will be planting more beds soon.
As a photographer I appreciate beautiful backdrops. I can see why my client chose Inniswood to shoot at! Wonderful flowers and backdrops!
I enjoyed the time with my husband at this park . Very beautiful park and quite.I recommend this park , and you can came with kids too, kids will have lots of fun to play with water and see the turtles and enjoy the time .
What a beautiful garden. Great place to hike and to relax. Even spot some great artists, even a beautiful place for photos.
Beautiful place to visit. Great trails and flower gardens.
Very nice park. Paths are shady & several benches to rest at.
This place is absolutely gorgeous, and has something for everyone. As a photographer myself, I know it can feel a bit crowded with families and couples posing for the camera during the hours around sunset, but honestly you will never run out of beautiful spots to sit and enjoy the beauty (or strike a pose). The variety of ecosystems represented in these gardens is incredibly impressive; one minute you feel like youre in a Canadian forest, and then next you find yourself in a beautiful rose garden, and then a field of wild flowers, and none of it fails to impress.
Columbus has many great parks but Innis wood is unique because of its extensive formal gardens, I highly recommend a visit for anyone interested in plants.
Beautiful and relaxing garden. Well maintained with many kinds of plants and flowers. Easy walk.
A nice little getaway from the fast-paced city life. Theres no admission and you walk right in. A good place to take the kids. No pets allowed though. Peaceful trails, beautiful flowers and wildlife. Theres always couples walking, people playing Pokemon go, birdwatchers, or groups taking wedding photos or prom photos. Even with the variety of people, its never too crowded.
Every detour from the main loop is a sight to behold--little themed garden at every turn! I love this park.
Beautiful park. Love the unique herb garden and Frog Talk Walk. Quiet park. No pets or bikes/skateboards/scooters allowed. Gorgeous all year round. Incredible rose garden that blooms in summer.
Too crowded on the nature walk Sunday between 5:30 - 6:00 to be alone to talk to God but beautiful walk
Beautiful. Definitely kept up nicely. Totally worth a visit
There arent enough words in the world to express how gorgeous this park is. All kinds of hidden nooks and niches, garden surprises, little vistas, whimsical statuary. Ive never been to another park like it. Its a gem of Columbus. Im almost sorry Im writing this review, as I wouldnt want it to become overwhelmed with visitors. But it really is a beautiful destination, and my favorite metro park in the greater Columbus area.
Spring is Springing! Inniswood is a jewel of Columbus and I cant believe this is my first time here. Looking forward to returning as the seasons change, but the buds are starting to burst. Be sure to look up as much as you look down, natures beauty is all around you here.
Inniswood never disappoints!
Loved it. Great place to walk
Such a beautiful park with a large variety of plant themes/areas. Enclosed acreage with miles of looped walkways, so its easy to be able to walk out & around without as much worry about getting out too far, & getting lost etc. AND theres a bathroom!
Outstanding, was in awe .such a nice quiet area very well taken care of .no bikes or anything with wheels of pleasure allowed .that was so nice not having to worry about getting ran over.deff will be revisiting to check out everything in full bloom
We frequently come to this park because of its proximity and its various beautiful flowers.⚘🌷
Beautiful gardens and fun, secret places to find. My 7 year old niece loved it!
Spring is the best time of year to visit. Right now the tulips and many other Spring flowers are in bloom.
Innis Woods is arguably the most beautiful metro park in central Ohio. I try to get there at least once a month to see whats growing.
Great time of year to see the beautiful flowers. A great time was had by all
Beautiful gardens and space. A wonderful place for a walk and relaxing afternoon in nature.
A nice place for a walk in the woods and flowers.
Theres no doubt about it, this place is always nice to go to.
One of the most well manicured gardens/parks Ive been to in Columbus! Beautiful flowers and landscaping design with plenty of photo ops. A great circuit of about 3 miles for a walk and tons of pokeGo stops and gyms. Will definitely be coming back. Heavily shaded areas perfect for summer evenings. Pictures dont do it justice!
I love this park. It’s so peaceful here and never really crowded. A place for everyone.
Such a beautiful and well kept gem. I have been by here several times but have never stopped to walk the trails. My plan today was to catch up on a podcast, but nature took over and all I did was listen to what was around me.
Beautiful gardens with well laid, mainly paved, walking trails throughout. There is a wonderful variety of plantings and layouts including wooded trails a rose garden, herb garden, stone and wooden bridges as well as an herb garden. There are a few buildings on site, some geared toward children. Great photo opportunities. Parking and entry are free. At the entrance there are postings about classes offered.
My favorite metro park. Theres enough trails to get a good walk in and it is so quiet and beautiful. My son loves the tree house and the grannys house area
Very lovely, easy walking
Beautiful gardens. You could spend the day exploring all the unique areas of this park. My son loves the childrens garden which has playhouses and a water station. He also loves the story stones. Highly recommend!
If I ever married I want pics here 😊
Very beautiful spring day. Lots of flowers and some wildlife Can you spot the squirrel and bird
Absolutely beautiful. Riddled with wildflowers this time of year, multiple trails and wildlife everywhere. Really close to the first trail was a barred owl, and a turtle was sun bathing in the water by the rock garden. Multiple people were taking senior pictures here. Magical. I really loved the story you can read while walking a maze. Free parking, open until sundown. Great for a nice day, short walks or longer strolls.
Beautiful park! A great place for family photos or an inexpensive nice date.
A sign as you enter the park says to wear face masks. The dozen people we encountered wore them. Today the beech forest was gorgeous ; fresh snow highlighted the gold leaves and smooth bark. We visit often.
OMG 😃!!! I have never seen a more beautiful place. My granddaughter was enchanted. We had wonderful memories that day and expect to return. If you have the opportunity. . . GO!!!
One of the most beautiful parks in Central Ohio.
What a not-so-hidden gem... have lived in Dublin for 20+ years and never made it here. So glad we did. One of the best Metro Parks in town + incredible gardens! Go find the Secret Garden.
Recently had my first visit in early spring. Such a majestic park with MANY trails, nooks and crannies for all to explore! Imagination wonderland! I cant wait to visit again now that everything has blossomed amid bloomed! Water features are very relaxing, and the layout begs for the running and playing of children. Just wish I had known of this park when my children were young. Delightful!
Amazingly beautiful place. Had my daughters senior pix done there. It was worth the drive. Fall is definitely a gorgeous time of year to go. Cant wait to go again!
What a beautiful place to enjoy plants, flowers and nature in the middle of Westerville.
A place to definitely visit.Very calm, peaceful, beautiful and lovely park.Great neighborhood too.Has lots of history to learn while inside.Perfect arena for good photoshoot.Lovers, family, visitors or singles are welcome there too.I used it for meditation and getting good pictures.Will visit again.Thank you for such a magnificent place.
Great location for family photos. Easy parking. Lovely trails. Flowers are beautiful.
Always a beautiful and clean place. Has plenty of photo background opportunities for photographers. Theres also a cascade.
Spacious and inspiring! The innovative design makes the experience versatile and dynamic. It gets better with repeated visits.
The nature here is amazing! There are so many places within the park where you can explore its beauty through the gardens. The flowers are always a welcomed addition; but, the overall feel, including smells, is a welcomed piece of the park experience.
Not pet friendly, but great for a walk with the family. Springtime and summer = beautiful flowers. Autumn = colorful trees
I went to Inniswoods for the first time yesterday just to take pictures, and I was pleasantly surprised how much there was to shoot in such a small area. I never felt like I walked too far, the scenery was beautiful, and I will go back again to take more photos.
Peaceful, open spaces. Lovely plants. Easy to stay socially distant. Picnic tables and restrooms available. Lots of people getting portraits done
Absolutely one of my most favorite parks. We go often during the Spring and Summer but this year was the first time we went during the Fall and the view was spectacular! Lots of beautiful spots, secret gardens and childrens gardens to play in. You will not be disappointed!
A great place to walk and meditate.
Feels like I’m in a dream it’s so serene!
One of the most beautiful parks I’ve ever visited! I loved the tree house and secret garden, along with the herb garden, rose garden, and fountain/pond. Great place to get away and meditate, picnic, hike, and/or just enjoy the gorgeous landscaping and scenery.
Beautiful rose garden. Lots of different, themed gardens to walk through. Very kid, walking age, friendly. Fun things for kiddos to do & see. Also has peaceful sitting areas with fountains. Has a great back story as well.
Beautiful gardens and pretty lights for the holidays! The disco ball by itself is worth the trip!
Wonderful place to wonder around on a beautiful day. Flowers are blooming. Well maintained park
Great place to take a relaxing walk. Paths are well maintained.
Great park! Highly recommend!
Awesome, the staff and volunteers have everything looking great. Saw two barred owls, again.
This public park is beautiful. Volunteers keep the gardens. The grounds are easy to walk with a variety of garden types from herb garden to coniferous. Its a great place to feel at peace with nature.
One of the most unique parks in Central Ohio. So many different areas to to ponder over. Superb for children, even better for adults! Worth a trip, especially if its out of your way!
Most amazing metro park. Go almost daily all year round. So much to see and the trails are so nice. The flowers and park are maintained so well. The lights in the winter are also a great addition. A must go.
These gardens are beautifully maintained no matter what season it is. Very serene and a gorgeous setting for flower and plant photography. I love it!
Our first time to Inniswood, and it was great! Lovely space, lots of benches for a quick break, and lots of smiling faces. I also loved that there were several smooth paths that would be excellent for someone in a wheelchair!
Beautiful garden to take a relaxing walk! It’s nice that it is free admissions.
Innis woods is always one of the most amazing gardens to visit in the Franklin county system. I love taking people there that have never seen it before because around each corner their eyes get so huge with surprise.
Awesome park with beautiful spots to take pictures. The bathrooms are cleaned so well to use even now (I felt safe using)
Absolutely stunning! Such a great place to visit.
This is the most beautiful park in Westerville. Then again, its more of a garden than a park. Actually, there are many themed gardens. They have an herbal garden, fern garden, Bible themed garden and so many more. They have covered areas and lots of places to sit down and rest amidst the gardens. So fun to come here and explore and many of the plants are labeled with their names. I love that. So, that makes it a great learning place too. They have a nice boardwalk and some more natural trails. Pets are only allowed in certain areas so be forewarned its not a place to explore a whole lot with your dog.
Nice quite area with well kept paths. I will go back in the summer to see the gardens in full bloom.
Just spent the afternoon walking around Inniswood and in my opinion it is the best park in the Columbus region. The gardens are filled with beautiful blooming flowers and plants leaving a fresh fragrance throughout the area. The paths throughout the woods are equally beautiful and calm. I cant wait to come back in the fall and see the different fall foliage.
I think its hyped up alot more than its worth. Weve been there several times over the years, and Im really not impressed.
Absolutely stunning, such a surprise to find such a gem. My wife and I walked in on a slightly overcast day and the first place we walked over to we saw a garter snake among the herbs, a monarch butterfly a few frogs and tons of songbirds and a few woodpeckers. We were shocked at how nicely maintained and obviously they are doing something right if the wildlife is that abundant in the middle of Westerville. We absolutely will be back soon and I cant give this place enough stars 🙏
This park is beautiful and I love the lights at Christmas. I went ahead and suggested an edit for closing time though. The park does not stay open till 9pm for the lights. I mentioned this to the ranger and he got pretty snarky about it. I guess technology is hard. For some reason even the metro park website does not mention the hours. Except when offering hot chocolate on Sundays. Park closes at 8pm this time of season. Hopefully I can save someone else the trouble of bundling up their toddler only to be told to leave 10 mins later.
Stunning place filled with various gardens and fun spots for kids.
The fall colors were just beautiful and the pathe were wide and comfortable for people with limited mobility
Really neat park with multiple different gardens and areas to go to. The herb garden is pretty extensive for its small footprint and includes a ton of different herbs as well as various different species of certain plants (they have an entire garden with different species of thyme for example). I spotted a clearwing hummingbird moth here and it was very exciting! The park is well kept and there are different landmarks to venture to, I did not check out the park facilities due to covid.
Beautiful park, I tend to walk there at least 4 times a week and enjoy my adventures. Which makes me very disappointed with a park rangers actions at 6:25pm on February 24th 2022. It was at that time I took a break from my walk and sat in car, planning to return to walking after five minutes. A park ranger (older white male) approaches my car so I open my window to talk him. He told me the park is closed. I said, sorry I thought you closed at 7. He said its getting close. So instead of arguing I listened to him, but on the drive home I regretted not saying anything. It was 6:25, 35 minutes before closing. I get we all want to go home from work but kicking people out early is not cool. I doubt Ill get a response from this but I love innis woods and next time Id like to finish my walk instead of being told to go home.
So serene and beautiful. A good place to reflect on the creation of Jehovah.
Always a great place to see and take a stroll
Such a beautiful Metro park. So many plants to explore and great areas to walk. Busy during homecoming and fall due to being such a great place to take photos. On a slow day you can get lost in nature with the family. Just take your time exploring the various planted areas and wildlife.
Fantastic place to visit!
Inniswood Gardens is one of my favorite parks to visit. It is a smaller park, and very kid friendly. Lots of Poké Stops for Pokémon Go players! They do NOT allow pets on any of their trails, and jogging, skateboarding, etc are also prohibited. This park is very educational with lots of activities throughout the year. It is the go-to park for photographers, and you will often see family portraits, wedding parties, homecoming and prom photos being taken.
Beautiful park!
Beautiful and peaceful place. I loved it 😍
Its a beautiful garden 🤩🤩. Often, crowded during falls for family photographs. Must visit during the fall season.
A very beautiful park!Great waking paths, a few cute stops for kids, and beautiful flowers and scenery.
Wonderful little spot. Great variety of flowers. Pretty paths and lots of great places to sit on a bench and chill.
Spent a day here recently and the park was packed with photographers, as Im a photographer myself it was quite interesting to see so many cameras in one place.The grounds are well manicured and maintained. Large variety of settings in one small park. From old barns and stone walls to intricate wood screens and pergola. Highly recommend.
Lush, beautiful, peaceful, and overall accessible park! Not for bike riding or running but perfect for a stroll, especially with little ones and individuals with limited mobility. Benches aplenty and clean public restrooms as well!
A place for a nice quiet walk, reading, poetry writing, clearing your mind, inspired garden decor or date for serious mature individuals.
This is the most relaxing place to to gather your thoughts or just sit and and read ... Beautiful flowers frogs turtles turkeys owls and more
First time here, for me anyway, originally was going to look for a geocache or two but then just decided to enjoy the sights. Definitely recommended to visit, especially when the water in the rock garden is working to see the waterfalls (was not on at this time).
Staff spend lots of time making for a magical experience during the Christmas season.
This is my go-to park in the city after work, volunteers make it what it is. There are always plenty of beautiful flowers in season, a nice place to de-stress or take kids to explore!
Great place for a wedding or a nice stroll.
Beautiful location. The trails were clean and easy to walk.
What a great place. Great job on providing such a beautiful place to enjoy
Just a nice place to walk and enjoy the outdoors. Usually come a few times a year
Beautiful park with great trails and lots of flowers planted.
A lovely place to walk, my 1st time! Beautiful place.
Loved it beautiful place
This is a large, beautiful, excellently maintained park with many nature trails and a wonderful imaginative children’s area. Bike trail close by off the park’s parking lot.
I would give this place a 5 as it always had held special memories for me. But I have to drop a star. Its time to give the place a good cleaning. This is still a nice place full of beauty peace and harmony bit it needs cleaned up a bit.
Beautiful place to walk around. Lots of trails and some things for children to do.
Such a gorgeous park! We did family pictures here and ended up exploring and playing a lot as well. It is definitely a big photography destination, but its easy to see why. There was also a yoga class going on if thats something youre looking for. There are a couple restrooms and water fountains. There are also a ton of benches, so it would be a great place to bring a book!
Good mix of trails and gardens and interesting things to see.
One of the most beautiful parks in Columbus area. It has tree house and secret garden, along with the herb garden, rose garden, and fountain/pond. Great place for picnic, hike, and just enjoy the beautiful scenery.
Nice park to get in a little walk. I plan on going back after Easter.
A beautiful place full of trails. Great photography spot. Great for bird watching and wandering around the gardens.
This was my first stop when I first went to Ohio, very quiet, very peaceful and quite a beauty, a must place for dates and this is one place that will make me consider moving to Ohio!
BEAUTIFUL! So many people there to take pictures. So many places to take your pictures. Walking trails and more.
Very good place for relaxing and to get rid of stress and anger100% good place 👍👍👍😄😄😄
Beautiful botanical gardens, lots to explore, great place for pictures.
Absolutely beautiful! The park is just awesome , they have a really good variety of flowers and trees. They have a lot of seats so you can just enjoy the view and relax.
Beautiful place. Well maintained trails and gardens. Great place to get lost in for hours.
Beautiful and peaceful
Love going there for daddy daughter walks
Great location with diverse foliage and spacious sceneries to suit your photography or leisurely desires. Community events such as Tai Chi and doggy play time are wonderful, and there are even wheelchairs available for use and handicap-friendly pathways. I highly recommend visiting this amazing Metro Garden!
Innis Woods is one of our favorite places to walk and take in nature.
Perfect place for family pictures. It could be more of an asset to the surrounding ecosystem if the majority of the non-native grass was removed and replaced with native plants for the pollinators and native grasses otherwise. A few vernal pools for amphibian breeding would be a plus .
Stunning Park! It tends to be very busy but I know that cant be helped. The fall season this year has been exceptionally beautiful!
Great place, you will enjoy evening there. People come there for photoshoot. Each are and every corner of this garden is beautiful. Must choose this place if you planning for outdoor photoshoot.
Beautiful place to walk, site see and take pictures.
This is a great park to visit when you need to unwind.
This park isnt at all what I had expected, and I was thrilled! I absolutely LOVED it. Im one of those people who enjoys a good romp through the woods just to see what kind of critters I can find. I usually avoid popular public areas, because its harder to see animals that might typically be more shy around people. But sometimes I dont feel like going through all the effort of packing up a bookbag of supplies and going hiking off trail for hours on end. This park is the perfect remedy for that. Multiple different types of habitats all in one park, with easy to navigate paths. And despite the number of people who were there, I was able to get up-close and personal with one of the local (and very much wild) Barred Owls for some BEAUTIFUL once-in-a-lifetime shots. And he/she paid me no mind whatsoever! I definitely plan on going back often!
I love this park. I used to come here all the time with my family when I was younger. It’s perfect for photographs for any sort of occasion. It’s nice to walk in. There are many interesting things to look at here and there. Always love coming to this park.
An amazing asset to Columbus area residents. Free and open to the public with lots of great programming and year round beauty.
Beautiful place
Its so beautiful and manicured but very difficult to recommend. It is swarming with photographers and people being photographed. One of the park rules is, dont let photography block trail paths. The photographers and subjects are absolutely blocking trail paths, if not entire areas. Photographers and subjects are so thick in the park that photographers are sometimes competing for space and blocking each others shots! Its not a pleasant experience for a walk because of the photography congestion.
A little piece of heaven in Westerville. ❤🦋🌼🌻⛲
Great park with multiple trails to explore... Even kids loved walking and reading the benches..
Inniswood Metro Garden is a gem in the Metro park system. This beautiful Garden is comparable to gardens in Europe. The trails in the woods on boardwalks over canopied wetland woods are cool and refreshing. The childrens garden offers hours of adventure for the little ones. There are several places that are great for getting that ideal photo. I highly recommend a visit to Inniswood Metro Garden.
Great day for a Winter Hike at Inniswood Metro Gardens. Boardwalks were a little slippery as temps were near freezing. Chili at the end of walk was great!
Inniswood is a jewel! This botanical garden is a rich and diverse collection of natural history and hardy plant material. This place has a feeling that can only be explained by visiting. Best time to visit is in late afternoon or early evening, when Inniswoods beauty indistnguisly harmonizes with the natural world.
Nice place to bring family for walking and 🚲
Such a peaceful, lovely place. Our favorite Metro Park.
Beautiful Fall colors and pleasant fall day.
This is one of my favorite places to go out and enjoy nature!Innswood metro garden is the perfect blend of well scaped and cultivated displays of many diverse plant spp. And naturalized conservation areas (with well maintained trails.)the park staff at friendly and helpful the park is moderately large those who tend to lose their way may want to glance at the map in the enternece gazebo.Most days spring and summer say 11am to 5pm the main garden area may be crowed due to the stunning gardens being a attractive place to shoot photographs.Local guide tip off: ¡Photographers! If you are a photographer looking to network with other creators in your space, this is a VERY popular spot. Being a regular here could have a large variety of benefits to your career and connection to Nature.
Beautiful, tranquil, and educational! One of my favorite parks to go to.
One of the most amazing garden parks yet, completely free to park and enjoy. Great for photo shoots for any occasion! Recommend you bring a lunch and water
Nice place to take a walk. Also good for family photoshoots. Also I saw many professional photoshoots happening around.
I had a very enjoyable time walking these perfectly manicured landscapes, pathways and gardens. A+ although it is quite small it turned out to be the perfect amount of time. We traversed 2/3 of the pathways and it took about 45 minutes to an hour.
This was an amazing park! We went there to playing pokémon go and it was the best experience! But the scenery was beautiful! All the wild life and flowers! Definitely a must go for the whole family! Parking can be a little challenging the later in the day you choose to go!
A much treasured Westerville walk, full of well-tended gardens and flowers that abound along with Native and not so native permanent specimens. Hard not to relax and enjoy a day here. Much-needed getaway. A big Thank you to the 200 + caretakers of this beautiful landscaped area.
This years garden activity was very well thought out and my grandson really enjoyed it.
This park is a must visit! It has the most beautiful flowers and wild life! Just keep in mind to bring bug repellent and tick repellent. Oh also watch our for spiders during the nature walk! While Im personally fascinated by them I could see those who have a phobia of spiders not enjoying the nature walk but every part of this garden is absolutely wonderful.
Love this park! Absolutely beautiful!
Beautiful park for photos, my favorite. The property is kept up and safe. It is beautiful in the fall!
What a lovely place! We went to the Halloween party there and you strolled through the beautiful garden and the kids played games and got candy plus decorating a pumpkin.
As a photographer, I love this place
Beautiful and an amazing place to enjoy and relax
Lovely flowers, gardens, and woods.
Its one of the smaller of the local Metro Parks, but in many ways, that works to its advantage. Not only is it beautiful, but its also possible to cover the whole park in a nice, taut hour at a brisk walk.
Wow what an awesome park! Flowers, colors, treehouses! Everything we needed for pictures.
While small, this place is an absolutely gorgeous place to walk for young families and older couples. It is also a great place for any type of photo shoot.
Nice place...well maintained..
Nice park to walk & relax.
We loved this! And it was free
It’s pretty
A beautiful garden that is easy to get around.
A regular stress get away with my family. Lots of lush scenery with flowers and other botanicals. We like that the park doesnt allow pets, picnicing, or sports. Lots of tranquility and photo ops.
Beautiful. little park with plenty of wild life
Inniswood Metro Gardens is a fantastic garden with lots of flowers. They have many park staff and even more volunteers. The landscaping and flowers are absolutely beautiful.
This is one of our favorite places. However Im giving one star (would be zero if I could) to the grouchy old park ranger who interrupted our picnic dinner this evening. At exactly 7:00 he drove his golf cart up to our picnic table and I quote, You need to leave. The park is closed. He could have asked us to please depart when we finished our meal, or asked if we realized the park hours had changed on Oct 1st. No, he ordered us, the taxpayers who pay his salary, to leave. I hope the metro parks will not allow this old grouch to ruin their beautiful Iniswood Gardens.
Super cute little park. Perfect small trails for families with young children.
A beautiful park with plenty of benches and other places to linger.

2022-06-20Gorgeous. It is a beautifully sectioned and extremely well kept garden. I went there with my friends and my toddler. we took her stroller on trails and it was smooth to navigate. She loved the green space and golden sunshine. Good weather plays the lead role to let you enjoy this beauty. Dont forget sunscreen and sunglasses if you are visiting on a sunny day. Trails may not always have shade from trees.They have placed benches on some spots to let you take rest, feel the nature and of course, click pictures.Park wasnt overcrowded, we enjoyed walking while peacefully reading the informative stuff about what they have grown. we got so lucky to find an owl, the little guy was chilling on a lower branch of tree and posing 360° for all the people around. It was big and beautiful.Luckily, we didnt find any photographers blocking every other spot. People were clicking pictures but they were not taking very long. Over all it was great experience. I would love to visit again.

2022-05-30I love how the gardens has various spots to stop and enjoy. It is a big garden. There were a lot of people visiting but it didn’t feel that way as I was exploring and enjoying the gardens. I loved the various kid friendly spots along the journey. From the quotes to the flowers, the gardens had many spots for self reflection. To hear the water and listen to the birds and small creatures within the woods was relaxing. The gardens are kept in great shape.

2022-05-10If your looking for a awesome romantic place to take someone and take awesome photos. It is very refreshing place to relax and just take in nature and the sounds and smells. It is also close to Hoover dam and the downtown Westerville where you can just park and walk to everything.

2022-06-18Always a beautiful visit - no matter the season or reason. A favorite for prom and wedding portraits, family outings and awesome walks and quick nature exploring.When my kiddo was young we used to enjoy the boardwalk and how it was so cool in the middle of summer.

2022-06-14Beautiful and colorful park. Appropriate for all ages. Looking for a place for a date? Look no further. Looking to take your kids outside? Travel no further. Main attraction is theres a water mill that runs on wind energy.
