Impression

A relatively small but feature packed park in Westerville, Ohio. The Everal barn is a unique feature that is fun to see and useful as it has been converted into a reservable event space.

The grounds include water features and walking paths with it’s own parking area.

A fun place to either host an event or just sit and enjoy the greenspace.

If you’ve never been, it is a delightful place to visit. You can even take a short stroll down the sidewalk on the street and visit first responders park.
