About

The 87-acre Heritage Trail Metro Park is adjacent to the Heritage Rail Trail, a 6.1-mile multipurpose trail converted from abandoned right-of-way, with a parallel bridle trail. The paved trail starts in Old Hilliard off Main Street and continues toward Plain City. Metro Parks manages a 3.6-mile section of the trail running north from the park to its termination point at Cemetery Pike. (The southern section of the Heritage Trail, from Hayden Run Road to Old Hilliard, is managed by the City of Hilliard)

DOG PARK

The park includes a 4-acre fenced dog park, with separate sections for active and less active dogs. The dog park features splash and sprinkle water pads, ideal for your dog on hot days, just to have fun in or take a drink, plus an exercise tunnel and other activity equipment. The dog is managed jointly by Metro Parks and the City of Hilliard.
