Evening in the Forest

This Family 'Evening in the Forest' is brought to you by the YMCA of Central Ohio, Columbus, and Franklin County Metro Parks.

The park will offer its typical Winter Forest activities, and will also have a fire/ roasting marshmallows, pine cone bird feeder making, a take-home craft, and a self-guided lantern trail (paved trail). We welcome children of all ages, with and without disabilities, alongside their caregivers.

As always, our event is FREE as a service to the community. Whether you’re a parent, grandparent, or guardian....everyone is welcome at our night of family fun.

Can you tell me more about the ECRN+/Metro Parks partnership?

Through our social and recreational programs, we aim to inspire personal family growth and community integration. Children with disabilities can play alongside their peers, participate in positive physical activity and experience the sensory joys of nature. Families discover at their own comfort level while overcoming challenges in a safe, fun, and welcoming environment. We aim to foster caring and genuine friendships among families, regardless of ability, while promoting the tremendous value of family-to-family networking and support. The very core of our programming serves as a hopeful seed of a more inclusive society, in which diversity is welcome and accepted, and a love for nature flourishes.
