After three rounds of voting, our readers have whittled down an impressive list of local Metro Parks to just two finalists.
The matchup: The high bluffs of Highbanks, near Powell, versus the winding forests of Blendon Woods, between Westerville and New Albany.
At over 1,200 acres, Highbanks is a heavy hitter that's nearly twice the size of the 650-acre Blendon Woods.
- Yes, but: Blendon has decisively defeated all its opponents, while Highbanks barely squeaked by Battelle Darby Creek Metro Park in Round 2.
What's next: Cast your vote for your favorite park below before 5pm Monday and check back Tuesday to see if it won!
