Discover a Touch of Magic in Clintonville

Discovering Hidden Whimsy in Clintonville’s Park of Roses

Looking for a unique and delightful way to explore Columbus? You’ve got to check out the hidden magic tucked away in Clintonville’s Park of Roses. Recently, my kids and I went on a squirrel door hunt there, and it turned into one of the most memorable local adventures we’ve had!

These aren’t just tiny doors. Each one shares the story of a different squirrel character, from curious bookworms to bold adventurers, each with their own quirky personality. You’ll also find fun facts about the tree it’s attached to, blending storytelling with a dose of nature education.

This charming project began during the COVID pandemic to help foster joy and connection in the community, and it’s still doing just that. Whether you’re visiting with loved ones or exploring solo, the squirrel door scavenger hunt is a playful, imaginative way to engage with the park and its natural beauty.

Experiences like this are what make Clintonville, and Columbus as a whole, such a vibrant and connected place to live. From its green spaces to its creative spirit, there’s something truly special about this neighborhood.
