Red, White and BOOM at Scioto Audubon Metro Park

July 3, 2015 Columbus celebrates Independence day with it's Red, White and Boom fireworks display.  Many people have discovered Scioto Audubon Metro Park is a good location to watch the fireworks, bringing anywhere from 12,000 to 17,000 visitors to the 120 acre park.



Metro Park Rangers where out in large numbers to help facilitate traffic, parking and a safe environment.  Franklin County Sheriff Deputies where also out patrolling the park, including their bike squad and mounted units.  Overall the night went very well with very few incidents.  Several separated children were quickly reunited with their parents.  A few verbal disputes were peacefully resolved.  A small amount of alcohol and marijuana was confiscated.  One individual was asked to leave the park for conducting business on park property without a permit to do so, and one individual was arrested on outstanding warrants from another agency.





Thank you to all of the visitors who came out to enjoy the fireworks and celebrate Indendence Day in a safe and family oriented manner.
