Pretty as ever. If you are in the short southeast side of downtown, point your scooter here for a pleasant stroll through a clever little park.

One of my favorite places in the city. See some art, visit the gorgeous library, breathe some fresh air, walk along Town street and enjoy the beautiful architecture. Its an oasis in the concrete jungle ️

Such gorgeous gardens, located right behind the main library. I never knew about this hidden gem in Columbus.Gardens are beautiful and peaceful and the historical placards are helpful. My kids thought it was fairly boring though, lol. Still glad I made them come.Be aware that there are some homeless individuals who may also be enjoying the park. It didn’t detract from our enjoyment of it.

We have been traveling to Columbus for the past year for medical treatment at Nationwides Childrens Hospital and we always make a point to visit this park. Perfect for a walk, scooter ride or even a board game at one of the tables. It is very pretty all times of the year and highly recommend!

This park is incredible, so unique. To have recreated in topiary in a public park a painting that is full of people enjoying another public park is not only awesome but hilarious and beautiful. It is worthwhile to visit Columbus if only to experience this garden.

One of the great treasures in Columbus. I love this place every time. I remember when it was only tubed framing, everything changes with time. The trees at the benches overlooking the topiary were amazingly fragrant!! Brilliant!

This was a great find in Columbus, OH. Dozens of uniquely trimmed bushes with all sorts of characters. Easily accessible and free!! I plan to go again!

I thought it would be a little bigger but was nice! Lots of construction happening particularly on one side of park that took away from peacefulness but still a good time with my little guy! Good to see nice green space downtown!

Very small but worth the stop. It’s a gorgeous little park in the middle of town. The maintenance on the topiary pieces seems to be up to date. It’s mind blowing to see what people create.

This is a lovely garden, that features bush sculptures.It has a shallow pond lake, that also has topiaries in it.The sculptures are cool, but have become a bit bare in spots. Possible due to the dry weather?Regardless, its worth a visit if youre in the area. Topiaries are just cool in general.

Small park but a great place to go for a quick walk and to see something new. Would go back in a heartbeat with a picnic and spend more time. Tucked away, not many people go here

This park is gorgeous. I loved the recreation of A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte. Theres plenty of space for picnics in the park or to let you children run around.

This little park is a little far from downtown but it’s really cute. It’s located near a hospital and a high school. It is smaller than I imaged. It has a little pond with sprinklers going off. Bushes cut to look like a family party at the park. Very well kept and there were landskeepers maintaining the area. I believe there is a gift shop, which I did not go. Benches to sit at almost every path. Butterflies and bizarre moths flying around. Lots of open space for kids to run around. Metered street parking available.

This is one of my favorites stops in Columbus. It is great to see in all seasons. Steamy hot summers. Those cool fall nights while an outdoor movie is playing on the large inflatable screen. The middle of winter when the snow is covering everything. Or just like yesterday, January 1, a cold, but clear day.Tons of squirrels running around most of the year. Lots of birds in the good weather months.

Beautiful garden to walk through. A topiary interpretation of George Seurat’s famous painting ‘A Sunday Afternoon on the Isle of La Grande Jatte.’ Parking meters are quite inexpensive and if you go to the library you can park there first then go to the gardens.

Review №58

Highly overrated place. The green sculptures are in the middle of the park which are not maintained well at all. Few benches here and there. Rest of the park has grass but kind of empty.this park located at such a great location should be developed into a beautiful place as people expect. There is the orange garage across the street which can be used for parking.

Art meets history in a downtown park. Located at the Old Deaf School Park, the Topiary Garden is a larger than life-size recreation of George Seurat’s famous painting A Sunday Afternoon on the Isle of La Grande Jatte. A great place to walk, picnic, or sit and relax. Pets are welcome.

Great place to relax and enjoy nature, we came here to kill some time before the Kelton House opened. I highly recommend stopping by, they were maintinaing the grounds and we were able to see the hard work that is put into Topiary Park. There are restrooms and a small gift shop, we were able to find free parking nearby.

Review №62

Very pleasant place to walk near the heart of the city. It is fun to see a painting brought to life. We realized more deeply this time unlike the painting of Sunday in the Park you can change the perspective. Moving around and viewing it from different angles changes the experience.

I heard of this place from my friend and visited there last week. Its a small park with small pond, paved paths, small giftshop and ofcourse topiary statues. Maintenance was not upto the mark, pond was not clean, algae on the sides and statues were also not maintained properly, but looks pretty good in pictures.

The park is beautiful... well maintained and visually pleasing. Minus a star, because it is on the smaller side. Great spot to read or eat lunch (lots of benches and tables), but not for walking. Several pokestops.

The topiary park is definitely a favorite of mine. It is absolutely beautiful! A great place for photography projects, reading, and the outdoor activities. PB & Jazz as well as the movie series that they hold during the summer are wonderful and some of my favorite things to do during the season.
