Official WebsiteWhen submitting eBird observations at Quarry Trails Metro Park, it is most helpful to start a new checklist for each hotspot in the park. Use the general hotspot when you have a checklist that includes multiple locations or if no other hotspot or personal location is appropriate for your sightings.
Metro Parks has turned an abandoned quarry into a recreation destination for Franklin County residents and beyond. Quarry Trails, the 20th Metro Park, is located within 5 miles of 350,000 residents, fulfilling a need for access to a park in this area and having a Metro Park within 5 miles of every Franklin County resident. Current amenities include trails, observation areas, a single-track mountain bike trail, a picturesque 25-foot waterfall, and lakes.
Located on the site of the Marble Cliff Quarry which was once the largest contiguous quarry in the United States it provided limestone for over a century that was used to build the Ohio Statehouse, roads, buildings, and many other places in Central Ohio. Funding for the park resulted from the generosity of Franklin County residents through their support of a tax levy and grants.
Several trails are open for walking, hiking, and enjoying the scenery and a mountain bike trail is open for adventure enthusiasts.
