    6 acre public space in the heart of Downtown is home to many gardens, a carousel, reading room, cafes and summer entertainment for the entire family. Open from dusk until dawn for a stroll or run!

    Columbus Commons is located on the old City Center site which, ironically, was located on the old Centrum site! U could roller or ice skate depending on the season!

    If you are here for a concert that doesn't allow you to bring in your own food/drink. Go to vending machines by main bathrooms. $1.50 for a 20 oz soda or water vs $3.00+ at the concession stands.
  • Central Ohio Transit Authority (COTA)
    Take the COTA #1, #2, #3 - #9 buses or any one of the many COTA buses to pass by the Columbus Commons to catch the free entertainment and family events this summer.

    It's Columbus' newest downtown park and some much needed green in a sea of buildings. Opening May 26th, stop by for the carousel, music series, and performances happening all summer!

    It's a really nice addition to downtown. It's just too bad they build the tall apartment buildings right next to it.
