Schiller Park
Established in 1857, Schiller Park is the second oldest park in the City of Columbus. The park was originally called Stewart’s Grove by early settlers. It was renamed City Park until 1891 when it was renamed Schiller Park after Friedrich von Schiller, a famous German Poet. Due to anti-German sentiment during World War I, the park was renamed Washington Park, although the name reverted to Schiller after the war. The park serves as a central gathering space for the German Village neighborhood....
Goodale Park
Nestled in Victorian Village, Goodale Park is the oldest park in Columbus. In fact, it’s one of the oldest parks in the United States. The 40-acre site was donated to the city by Dr. Lincoln Goodale in 1851. Over 650 trees call the park home, including two Champion Trees, a Chinese catalpa, and a Smoothleaf elm. During the Civil War, the park served briefly as a staging area for Union troops known as Camp Jackson. Those operations were moved to Camp Chase, but some permanent examples of that...

Frank Fetch Park
I’m a sucker for pocket parks, and Frank Fetch Memorial Park is one of my favorites. The park is located in German Village and it was designed to resemble the Social Gartens of Munich. The park kind of has a beer garden vibe, with picnic tables to enjoy meals and benches to sit and read. It’s a charming little spot that perfectly captures the essence of German Village. There are even gas lamps that offer flickering lights. The park is especially charming around Christmas when it’s all decked...

Throughout the Scioto Mile, there are several points of interest for visitors, including Huntington Plaza, Coleman’s Pointe, the Lower River Walk, and my favorite, the Prow.
