Lincoln Village: Parks, Trails and History
Accommodation in Lincoln Village
Lincoln Village can be explored through several distinct interests: walking trails in two parks, the history of the Lincoln Lodge, and West Broad Street as a connection to downtown Columbus. Also featured are Joseppi’s Pizza in the Lincoln Village area and the Fourth of July Parade. If you’re looking for a hotel here, these topics can help you match the character of the destination to your travel plans. The following sections provide an overview of trails, history, and planning.
Parks and Trails
Carl Frye Park has a 0.7-mile walking trail. The park’s shelter house can also be reserved online. If you’d like to include it in your plans, check the available options for your date during the reservation process.
A 0.25-mile walking route starts at Friendship Park. By distance, it is shorter than the trail at Carl Frye Park, so you can compare the two options based on length. Friendship Park also has open meadow areas and a small play area. If the play area is important to your plans, check its condition before your visit.
Lincoln Lodge: A Chapter in Local History
Lincoln Lodge was a hotel that became a popular dining destination. It permanently closed in 1990. The lodge once had an outdoor pool and a nine-hole golf course; at the time, the course was available to residents.
The lodge brings together several chapters of local history: hotel stays, dining, and recreation. The timeline is important when choosing a destination today: the lodge is a historical landmark, not a current hotel option. Its history adds to the other themes you can use to get your bearings in Lincoln Village.
Getting Your Bearings Toward Columbus
West Broad Street offers a direct connection from Lincoln Village to downtown Columbus. This makes it a clear urban reference point when planning your trip. The parks and trails offer reasons to spend time in the local area, while the connection via West Broad Street also brings downtown into the picture. These different aspects can help you decide what matters most for your stay.
Local Dining and an Event
Joseppi’s Pizza in the Lincoln Village area has been serving wood-fired pizza since 1969. If you plan to make the restaurant a set part of your itinerary, check before visiting to confirm that it is currently operating. This lets you plan a visit around a specific culinary interest in wood-fired pizza.
The Fourth of July Parade travels through Lincoln Village; it is held on the Saturday closest to July 4. If the event is key to your trip, check the date for the relevant year before planning around it. This ensures you take the specific event date for your travel year into account.
