Summer Update
Take advantage of nature’s air conditioning by hiking a wooded trail. You can really get summer into full swing by planning a family picnic at many of the available shelters. There are great fishing spots at Poplar Creek Ponds or the Great Miami River. Load up your bikes and enjoy the bikeway with the family and visit the historic remnants of the bygone town of Tadmor.
The land where Taylorsville MetroPark now sits has a robust and storied history. It was once the site of the bustling town of Tadmor, one of the most important centers of transportation in early Ohio history.
