    14 More Photos of the New Coming Soon Quarry Metro Park

    Earlier this morning, a new Metro Park and Mixed-Use Development was announced for a former quarry site located just west of Upper Arlington, along the Scioto River. While the new park will not be open to the public for approximately 18-24 months, tours are being scheduled for the site for adventurous locals who want to see the potential of the new Metro Park up close and personal (you can sign up for more info on the project’s website, linked below).

    There is often a complex interplay between preservation and progress.
