Angora Frog Farm and Dog Park is now open in Powell!

In 1927, Horace Brown registered a farm under the whimsical name "Angora Frog Farm," inspired by his humorous tales of frogs that grew long green hair. Inspired by Mr. Brown’s tale, Legacy Parks created the Angora Frog Farm—a whimsical park where visitors can learn, laugh, and play.

Angora Frog Farm and Dog Park has officially opened in Powell at 7325 Brickyard Rd. The park features a half-mile shaded gravel trail where visitors can explore various stations, each with an interactive feature and a matching story. Along the path, kids can enjoy play equipment like a seesaw and a rope web, and follow prompts that encourage them to interact with a shallow creek and a small wooden house.

This park is located directly across Powell Drive from the new Powell High Landing boat launch on Beaver Creek.
