  55. Battelle Darby Creek Metro Park is in Galloway located at 1775 Darby Creek Drive. This is a larger hill and can be very bumpy at times. It is great if you have elementary aged children or if you are willing to go down with a younger child. There is a walkway next to the hill and parking is nearby. If you go during the middle of the day, be prepared for larger crowds.

  56. Scioto Park is located in Dublin at 7377 Riverside Drive.
