About Historic Homestead Metro Park Covered Bridge

Historic Homestead Metro Park Covered Bridge is a charming feature within a 44-acre park in Hilliard, Ohio, where families explore multiple playgrounds, walk paved trails, and fish at a pond. The main playground spans a large area with slides, climbing elements, tunnels, and bridges that feel built into the landscape, plus a metal fire truck play structure. An accessible playground added in 2022 includes a wheelchair-accessible boat-like glider and musical elements for children of all ability levels. The park also features outdoor exercise equipment and the Elevate Fitness Course, with obstacles named Frog Hop, Twinkle Toes, Block Up, Summit Bridge, Wall Clinger, Lava Leap, and Victory Wall. Wildflower meadows throughout the park create scenic spots for photography. Reservable shelters are available for gatherings. The park suits families with children at different stages and ages seeking playground time, outdoor fitness activities, and nature exploration. The Elevate Fitness Course is built for ages 5 and up. There are play areas for various ages and stages. For outdoor exercise equipment, consider visiting at off-peak times because kids really love to play on this equipment.
