Review & FAQ:
As one of Columbus’ oldest parks (second to Goodale Park), Schiller Park first opened in April of 1867 for the price of $15,000. Early settlers of the region first named the park Stewart’s Grove, but it later received a new name to honor the German poet, Friedrich von Schiller.
Today, his statue overlooks guests in the center of the grounds. Interestingly, during World War I, the park received a temporary new name of Washington Park. Schiller contains 23.45 acres altogether where visitors can enjoy recreational activities like basketball, picnic areas, softball fields, walking trails, and playgrounds.
