Review:
Schiller Park was originally known as Stewart’s Grove when early settlers arrived in Columbus, Ohio. In 1867, the city of Columbus obtained Schiller Park through a transaction that saw all twenty-three acres transferred over to what was then called City Park. It was renamed Schiller Park after famous German poet Friedrick von Schiller who has a statue at the center of the park. During World War II the park name and street names within the area were changed due to anti-German sentiment.
However the names were changed back after the war ended. The park represents German village life and has a recreation center, picnic areas, a fishing pond, and a stage. Actor’s Summer Theatre makes use of the stage, and there are softball diamonds that the public can use. In addition, the park has a lot of floral displays, a gazebo, a playground, and a basketball court.
