Worthington Ohio real estate

The Delawanda Park neighborhood is in north Columbus near the Delawnda Park and Ride on High St. The Delawanda Park neighborhood is near Delawanda Park, a city of Columbus Park on the Olentangy River... the park named Delawanda Park  is also known as Kenney Park.

Where is Delawanda Park, the neighborhood?  South of Graceland and north of Old Beechwold.  Back in the 1920s and 1930's this area had a Worthington mailing address, it was out in the country... well in Sharon Township.  Did neighborhoods like Delawanda Park, Old Beechwold, Tremont Gardens have Worthington mailing adresses into the 1950s?  or 1960s? 

Streets in the Delawanda Park neighborhood include Rathbone, Leland, Girard and .... Milton. Milton is the Delawanda Park neighborhood street I forget.  There is a section of Milton Ave. north from Rathbone Rd. write up to Graceland.  And is there a house on Delawanda Park?  One house?

Not from around these parts?  If Morse Rd. crossed High St, it would be where Rathbone Rd. is.   The Delawanda Park neighborhood north of Ratbone Rd. and the Old Beechwold neighborhood south of Rathbone Rd.   Both Old  Beechwold and the Delawanda Park neighborhood are in the  Clintonville Commission's District 6  

If you've heard talk of the Bethel Road connector over the years, either the Delawanda Park neighborhood  or Graceland probably would have been where the connector would have gone through. Will there ever be a connector?  I would have thought 20 years ago that there would be a road connecting "Clintonville" to the northwest side of Columbus.  I don't think there ever will be now.  I will post something about the  Bethel Road connector someday.

Columbus City Parks with aliases Delawanda Park may be shown on maps but Delawanda is an alias...

Google calls it Delawanda Park...

but Delawanda Park is AKA Kenney Park.

"Also known as"  as a kid I read the book 'Helter Skelter' about the Manson Family murders ...  perhaps I skipped a paragraph or two...  I believe it was the pictures of the Manson family members... they had "AKA" names.  I read it as "Ahka" throughout the books.  I think I knew it meant they used other names.  It may  have been my first crime book because "Also known as" never crossed my mind.  I think I was done reading before my older, smarter sister  told me AKA meant "also known as."

'Duh!"

Delawanda Park the City of Columbus Recreation and Parks site calls it  Kenney Park.... Delawanda or Kenney Park is in north Columbus, just south of Worthington, west of Graceland Shopping Center. The park runs along the Olentangy River.

The City of Columbus site says of Kenney Park:

"Also known as Delawanda Park."   Delawanda Park is the alias!

When Columbus nature blogger  Tom Arbour writes about his old stomping grounds in north Columbus he writes about Kenney Park.  I was recently wondering where the border was between Kenney Park and Delawanda Park and somehow became aware Kenney Park is AKA Delawanda Park.

"Ah Ha!"

Tom Arbour wrote Return to Kenney Park earlier this year.  Earlier in June while he was out west in Yellowstone Park, his Ohio Nature blog ran reruns of old posts during Olentangy Week ...

On Ohio Nature Blog Tom Arbour  wrote: 

"Olentangy Week- This week I'll be presenting images from my most recent trip to my old stomping grounds, the Olentangy River at Kenney Park while I'm away at Yellowstone National Park.  "

Arbour's images of life on the Olentany River include 

Odocoileus virginianus  AKA White-tailed Deer

Ardea herodias  AKA Great Blue Heron

Rana catesbeiana  AKA Bullfrog

Someplace on his blog, perhaps during Olentangy Week, Arbour said Kenney Park is on both sides of the Olentangy River.

Other Columbus parks with an alias?   Schiller Park in German Village. It was City Park.  It became Schiller Park, during WWI the name was changed to Washington Park because of anti German sentiments.  

I have to wonder why the City of Columbus Park sometimes known as Delawanda Park has two names... 

Are there other Columbus Parks with aliases?

North Columbus- Clintonville area - Sharon Heights

Delawanda means...

Clintonville area Zillow refers to it as "Sharon Heights"

Creeping Clintonville border blame Columbus real estate agents
