Located in the heart of the Discovery District Topiary Garden Park is a 9+ acre public park that is home to a sculpted evergreen garden depicting Georges Seurat’s 1887 A Sunday Afternoon on the Isle of La Grande Jatte.
Topiary Park
The park is filled with topiaries shaped into larger-than-life human figures, animals, and boat topiaries. It is the only topiary interpretation of a painting in existence!
This is one of our family’s favorite parks to visit, and if a definite must-see in Columbus!
Events at Topiary Park
The park is beautiful to explore, and they host free, fun events to enjoy this summer. Grab a blanket, a mat or a chair and enjoy a free community class that benefits your mental health.
Classes are held at the park’s center near the pond; may move to shaded area near Main Library due to heat.
