Quarry Trails Ranger Station, Columbus Metro Parks

As part of an ongoing endeavor to transform a former rock quarry into Central Ohio’s newest Metro Park, Triad provided full-service architecture and interior design for a series of visitor-facing amenities, including a ranger station, restroom building, and event pavilion. These structures are thoughtfully placed throughout the 118-acre site, drawing material inspiration from the rugged rock and steel found on site.

Anchoring the park entrance at the top of the mountain biking course is the 4,500 SF Ranger Station — a metal panel and board-formed concrete building designed to support both staff and visitors. The facility includes office space, a workshop, public restrooms, and an information area that orients guests to Quarry Trails’ wide range of outdoor experiences, from hiking and fishing to rock climbing and kayaking.

Triad remained engaged throughout construction administration, ensuring that the design intent was carried through in every detail and that the final product met the park’s operational and experiential goals.
