Recently visited the Oval just over 10 years since graduation. The Oval continues to be well kept and seems to continue to be a great place for students and alumni alike to visit and enjoy themselves. A great place in the middle of campus to relax and enjoy yourself. OSU was true to their word too. It still looks roughly the same as it was when I took my tour my freshman year.

The Oval is one of my favorite places on campus. I love seeing buckeyes playing, chatting with friends, or rushing to the Thompson library or other buildings.

Very nice place to lay down and work or read on a sunny day.

A lovely green space through the center of campus. It receives fairly regular use by the student population during warmer weather. Nice place to see people just enjoying being outside and socializing. I wish there were designated bike paths through the area to promote use of bikes on campus while not forcing bikes to go around such a large green space.

The oval is a large park space in the middle of Ohio State. It's essentially just a flat, grassy area with trees around. It's not useful if you want a playground or anything, but for sports, activities, events, or anything like that it's really nice.

Great place to walk, get some fresh air, contemplate life’s dilemmas, and become inspired…I used to play on the oval as a little kid growing up in the Clintonville area, accompanying my older siblings while they attended school here…To read: "I also remember seeing the Ohio National Guard tanks rolling down High Street, and the Ohio State Patrol and Ohio National Guard confronting students protesting expansion of the war in Southeast Asia in the Spring of 1970Sometimes I walk these paths just to ponder and reminisce those nostalgic memories and wonder what could have been…

A signature location on the campus of The Ohio State University. The long walk and historic trees and buildings of campus are a great spot to relax or stroll. Lots of pokestops for people who play pokemon go.

Went on Ohio State campus the Oval is a must to cross stop and enjoy. One only has to see the beauty of campus through the oval and the friendliness of all who cross there.

Park in the middle of Ohio state campus. Open space… um trees five of them given a plaque and called the give brothers. Ok here’s the story about that. A long time ago someone planted give trees gave them a plaque on a rock and called them the “five brothers”… fascinating.There is some great architecture and the little museum in the geology building is worth a quick stop in.

The place is beautiful. Lots of kids there but plenty of space to roam around. Would love to visit again if opportunity presents itself

Visited for Pokémon GO Fest 2021. Serene, calm outdoor area with many walking paths, large trees for shade when desired, and benches for a break when needed.
