🌿 Topiary Park: Downtown’s Living Art Escape 🎨

📍 480 E Town St, Columbus, OH Next to Columbus Metropolitan Library Just a 2-minute walk to Columbus Museum of Art 🕐 Open daily from sunrise to sunset 🌸 Best visited April – November 🎟️ FREE! The only public park in the U.S. inspired by a famous painting — brought to life with living sculptures! 1️⃣ Impressionism Comes Alive The park recreates Georges Seurat’s iconic painting A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte 🌳 — with 54 people, 8 boats, 3 dogs… and even a hidden cat and monkey! The topiary details are incredibly soothing, and every angle is photo-worthy 📸. 2️⃣ Hidden Gems Don’t miss the overlook titled As He Saw It — see the scene just as Seurat painted it. Kids love playing “spot the difference” between the art and the real-life greenery! 🔍 3️⃣ Artsy Vibes & Events Enjoy free jazz concerts 🎷, outdoor movie nights 🎬, and yoga sessions in the summer. ☕ Stop by Carnegie Cafe near the library’s back entrance for a cozy drink break. ✨ Pro Tips: Visit at sunrise or sunset for soft light and fewer crowds 🌅 Park at the library garage (1st hour FREE 🚗) Check out the quaint gatehouse shop on the west side for souvenirs (open weekends!) 🛍️ #RecordOfRomanticLife #TopiaryPark #ImpressionsimInNature #DowntownColumbus
