We love to hear personal stories about people's interactions with and experiences at Ariel-Foundation Park. Thousands of people visit the park annually, whether traveling through on the bike trails, enjoying a stroll with the family dog, challenging themselves to climb Rastin Tower, or taking in one of our many concert events. It's an exciting place to be and we love sharing it with Ohio and beyond.

But don't take our word for it...

What’s happening at the Park? Some folks have been asking us about the heavy equipment and large amounts of earth being moved in the western area of the park. The breach that occurred a few years ago at the edge of the West Lake and Kokosing River is being repaired.

Dear Ariel-Foundation Park visitors,

I am so happy to be writing this after our shared experience over the past 12 months. No doubt you share the same sense of excitement and anticipation that I personally feel as the moment draws closer for the kind of Ariel-Foundation Park summer that we all know and love to begin.

The Foundation Park Conservancy is pleased to announce the winners of its Ariel-Foundation Park 5th Anniversary Photo Contest. Jurors included Bill Ernst, art photographer; Carol Shurlow, photographer and long-time friend of the park; and Joshua Morrison, photographer for the Mount Vernon News. View all entries here...
