Read more about this location
Rhodes Park is a regional Columbus park with unusually strong adaptive-recreation context. Official city materials identify Rhodes Park as home to an ADA sports pad, playground, and playing field for people with disabilities, and a later city DE&I staff publication lists it among Columbus Recreation and Parks' universally accessible playgrounds. Families who want inclusive play near broader adaptive recreation amenities may find Rhodes Park especially useful, even though the public-facing park page offers fewer playground-specific feature details than some newer builds.
