On Friday August 14, 2015 Columbus and Franklin County opened its newest park, Rocky Fork Metro Park. While only one section of this approximately 1000 acre park is open, it provides approximately 3 miles of trail 2 of which are available for you to walk your dog. There is even a .3 mile trail designated as an off leash trail. The paved multipurpose trail is bike, skateboard, leashed pet friendly, There are two shelters, one large and one small, as well as several grills and picnic tables scattered throughout the park. Of course, a playground for the young ones. The dog park, complete with large and small dog areas and splash pad will not be open until spring of 2016. While it appears to be completed, fencing is not quite done and the grass needs more time to establish a strong root system in order to prevent problems in the future. Here is an interview from the Columbus Dispatch with Park Manger D. Bissonette. And another from 10TV with Metro Parks Director Tim Moloney. Naturalist Andrea Krava does a nice job of giving a nice overview of the park with New Albany News
