f you live in central Ohio, you’ve probably driven past the old quarry located off of Trabue Road across from the Scioto Reserve Country Club. What you might not know is that the area encompasses hundreds of acres of developable land just ready and waiting to be used. “For at least 80-plus years, this land we’re talking about has been discussed as a metropolitan park,” says Tim Moloney, executive director of Franklin County Metro Parks. “Leadership in central Ohio, even predating metro parks, talked about what a great resource this several hundred acres is.” Thanks to a burgeoning partnership between Thrive Companies and Metro Parks, that land is being put to new use. Meet Quarry Trails Metro Park, the newest mixed-use development tying together a brand-new metro park with commercial development. May/June 2021 • www.trivillagemagazine.com
