If you are going to be in Columbus during the summer, I recommend checking out the different Metro Parks that Columbus and Franklin County have to offer. There are 23 in Franklin County alone! Have a picnic lunch at Highbanks, take an archery course at Scioto Grove, or rock climb at Scioto Audubon. There are so many things to do and adventures to have!
Challenge Idea:
Challenge your friends to see who can visit all 23 parks before Autumn Semester starts!
