Beautiful woods, scenic Wolf Creek and wildlife make this 55-acre park especially appealing. Walking and hiking trails through the woodlands and near the creek provide an opportunity to enjoy nature while getting some exercise.


Popular scenic viewing spots include the pedestrian bridge over Wolf Creek, the paved pathway beneath the railroad crossing, and the gravel bar along the creek reached by the hiking trail on the west side of the creek.


Wesleyan is also the site of Adventure Central, an innovative partnership between MetroParks and Ohio State University Extension, 4-H Youth Devel­opment. Here, urban youth learn about the environment and develop life skills through after-school programs, clubs and camps.
