Why Scioto Audubon Metro Park why was this picked

Lead with the playground, not the climbing wall aimed at older kids. The Audubon Center indoor play cave is only a weather footnote.
- Age-appropriate playground for younger kids
- Boardwalk and skyline outdoor setting
- Franklinton Whittier Street access near Downtown
