Great Pokemon hunting with amazing new friends! Of course there are lots of other activities. Love that they have real bathrooms (hate that they are closed for winter). Definitely a nice park to have a picnic, go fishing or just hang out!

Super cool place to being your kids or just enjoy a walk with a friend. It has spots with signs that tell you alittle bit about the area and lots of historic info on the old factory that the park was built on. And of course you can't miss the old stack tower. Great for testing your friends fear of hights while learning and appreciating some old Mount Vernon history.

This is easily one of my favorite parks to visit, and is an absolute must see if in the Mount Vernon area. My fiancée and I come up from Columbus to visit my family every weekend, and every weekend we make sure to set aside time to visit this park as well.
Come take a stroll, read up on the glass company's history on the many scattered informative plaques, climb the observation tower, take in the beautiful combination of antique factory buildings, stunning glass displays, and Indian style mounds, or just sit and gaze across the serene lake.
You won't be disappointed.response / report this review -

Great place to walk around. Love the history. Plus like the free concerts. The fishing is good but not great and I wish they had a playground for young kids.

Awesome park on the Ohio to Erie bike trail. Ruins of former glass factory that has been turned into an extensive sculpture park. 220 step climbable tower with a great view of the area, Lakes, a museum, music venue.

What a great concept! On our trip from Columbus to come here, my wife and I were discussing how we keep clearing out nature for more houses, buildings, etc. This park did just the opposite. It WAS industrial. It could have easily been raised in place of new warehouses, houses, or shopping centers, but instead they filled it with grass, kept some of the buildings in the form of art, made a wooded area usable and in the process developed a beautiful, interesting and fun park.

Great place to walk and enjoy nature. Fantastic artsy reuse of old industrial space and architecture. My husband didn't catch any fish though.

Very nice place to take a walk and relax. We climbed the tour and walked the trails for an hour or so. I also like that most of the remnants of the old factory have signs explaining their purpose.

What a super neat place this park is. I love how they incorporated some of the old structures into the park and used the glass in public art pieces. Lots of diverse landscape too. Its an interesting day trip.

Very cool place with lots to see. Ascending the tower we were greeted by a swarm of wasps so we high tailed it back down. Will climb after the oncoming frost kills those buggers. Can't wait until our next visit too!!

This is a great park! The old factory ruins are interesting to explore, and the tower fun to climb. The glass river is beautiful.

This is a great place to go on the weekends! You can bike, Rollerblade, skateboard, fish, some hiking and they have this huge tower you can climb that gives a great view of Mount Vernon. There are lots of pavilions so take a picnic lunch or supper along! Its a very big park. It's well kept and lots of fun!
