Our greenways and waterways are the future of connection between recreation, energy, and Central Ohio’s communities. The RAPID Project aims to create a vision for one regional park network.

RAPID 5 is a shared vision to integrate the space along Franklin County’s five waterways, connecting all residents to the natural and economic resources for recreation, commuting, commerce, education, and relaxation.

ULI Columbus and MORPC have embarked on a project to develop a vision for an integrated open space network in central Ohio that envisions how to best use our natural assets to benefit our economy, manage growth, provide access for recreation, education, health, and preserve natural resources and environmental health.

In late 2021, five design and planning firms began designing a new vision for Columbus to connect us to nature and each other like never before.
