The John W. Galbreath Bicentennial Park consists of a 4.66-acre grounds in downtown Columbus. This popular gathering area has a huge fountain park for people to play and cool off in during the summer months. A large promenade links the Battelle Riverfront Park with the Bicentennial Park.

Walking along the stone pathway, visitors can find playgrounds, gardens, benches, and chess boards. The park also houses an enormous, $5 million permanent stage and pavilion that hosts outdoor live music and events. Named after John W. Galbreath, the park honors the Ohio philanthropist, builder, Kentucky Derby breeder, and owner of the Pittsburgh Pirates from 1945-1985.
