Park Parkin'- Gahanna Ohio



Creekside - Gahanna, OH 43230

I wanted to visit this place for a while since its unveiling in 2007 or there abouts. According to its website (http://www.creeksidegahanna.com/) says that the park includes a public plaza, bridges, fountains, hand-cut limestone boulders, plenty of nature and natural spaces and a flag art display. While I was there on a warm sunny afternoon, I strolled around and looked into the store windows of many of the shops, like a jewlery shop, wine and bar space, Coldstone Creamey and a host of other interesting places to visist. The park is also accommodating to those in wheel chairs with ramps and a parking garage near the park and *bonus* an elevator leading from the garage to the open space.


The outdoor spaces were favorable for the MyVIPseat cause. As I took in the sights and nature sounds, the main area of the park and specifically the opportuntity for comfortable seating was abound. From seating on the fountain wall to along the walking space, to side benches of wood or steel to 'park' your self to take in the waterfall over the rocks, or view swans swimming in the creek.
Here is my attempt to take pix with my new digital camera. :) Just wanted to give you an idea of some seating choices while there taking in the beauty of the park and all it's splendor. Here are a few pictures of the seating where I felt very comfortable:

> patio chair by the fountains -(this seat may be a little uncomfortable for some)



> A spacious park bench

Pack a food basket, or take a stroll, just Go and enjoy the ambiance of Spring and newness. I will give Creekside a GREEN light.
Enjoy!
