- Schiller Park in German Village. Schiller Park is picturesque year round, with it’s pretty paths, Shakespearian outdoor stage covered in wisteria, the pedestrian bridge going over a pond filled with ducks, and no shortage of flowering trees - many of which are the perfect height for climbing.
- Whetstone Park of Roses. Whetstone is another year-round gem, but I especially love it there when the magnolias are covered in their raspberry pink blooms.
- Inniswood Metrogarden. No list would be complete without Inniswood. It is truly one of the most beautiful parks in Columbus, striking in scenery year-round.
- Franklin Park - the grounds outside of the Conservatory. Franklin Park is such a fun one - I love the brick-paved paths, the thousands of tulips and flowering cherries that bloom every spring, the unique structures placed throughout the gardens, the gorgeous willow tree over by the playground (I literally make every client visit the willow if they’ve booked a session at Franklin Park - it is the most magical tree and I have yet to meet a child who didn’t giggle with glee at playing peek-a-boo with me in there!).
Blacklick Woods features 643 acres of woods, fields, seasonal swamp ponds, a small prairie and a golf course. It has one of the best remaining beech-maple forests in central Ohio along with a buttonbush swamp. The forest areas are laced with trails that wind through a swamp forest with oaks, red maple, elm, shagbark, bitternut hickory and dogwood.
