Hanby Park, Westerville OH

Have been there a couple times because the kiddo really enjoyed it - only gave 3 stars due to the fact that everytime we go something is shut down or not accessible.

I love all the parks around westerville, but this one has to be on the bottom end of that list. I just feel the space was used correctly. The small kids play area is literally just a 3 ft slide and some things to jump on. The big kids play area is a 8x8 square that stands 30 ft high that uses a rope mesh to climb up. I've seen many 3-5yo attempt to use it only to get scared and just as many anxious parents watching their fairless young child climb higher and higher.

Splash pad is a good time but can get very crowded. If you have the choice, I would choose somewhere else.

Great small little park, restrooms close by!
Also right near the library and downtown Westerville.

It was well kept & nice playground equipment however, it's quite small. I am also disappointed that the splash area wasn't working. I get that it's during the pandemic but, we called ahead of time & asked if everything was open & were told yes! I would have appreciated the man on the phone taking 1 more second out of his day to day: 'everything but, the splash area, are open. '

This a nice place to take your children. And have fun at to. And can read books and go to the library too.

Small park with a splash pad and areas for toddlers and kids up to 12ish. There's easy access to restrooms, a water fountain, the multipurpose trail (including a bike pump, lockers, and rack), and the Westerville library.

Excellent play area, very entertaining and safe. The rock and rope climbing were a blast for the kids.

Awesome park, love the splash pad in the supper. There is also a 'mommy and me swing', play equipment for younger kids and a unique play structure for older kids.

Smaller park but newer and very nice. Splash area has a few swings for parents to sit and watch. Also grass area to bring your own chairs. Play area has swings and a slide and climb area for smaller kids. Swings for big kids and a unique climb area with two slides for big kids. This area is difficult for kids 4 and under and even harder for an adult to supervise. Play area has a very cushy flooring so falls hurt less. Not alot of shade yet until trees mature. Covered area with lots of tables for parties or picnics. Grass area is nice and has some shade but no seats so bring your own. All in all a nice place to stop and cool off. My almost 3 year old was very satisfied with what the park offered.

Fun park, watch the little ones as the main attraction is a 3 story tall tower and the only way up is cargo nets or a rock wall

Park and splash pad next to Westerville library bathrooms, drinking fountain, bike path, limited shade seating except for covered picnic area

Dangerously designed climbing tower that goes very high with openings that could easily be fallen through with no safeguards below

Located behind library on bike path. Several tables for a lunch stop. Water fountain play area, and separate playground. All in all a pleasent, and safe green space.

Great park for younger kids, my 4 year old always loves going to play in the fountains. My toddler love it for the same reason and they have an awesome parent/toddler swing. You get to face your child and swing together.
Its also right next to the library, and DQ is up the street.

Nice hangout for the kiddos. They seem to have lots of fun from the fountains to the playground to the climbing area.
Playground has swings, slides and other assorted things.
Only possible improvement I would add is more shade for parents around the benches or near the fountains. It gets pretty hot otherwise.

I beg you to lead a life worthy of the calling to which you have been called with all humility and gentleness patience bearing with one another in love

As a certified playground safety inspector, I was surprised to notice no signage regarding the wearing of shoes on the poured in place safety surfacing. It can get very hot as was evident by the event that caught my attention when a young boy went running across screaming while his feet were burning.
