Attractive senic area. We visit this area all the time, usually on Sundays. Great photo opportunities too. Recommend if you enjoy peace and quite and nature.
Broadway in the historic district is a nice drive down a tree-lined parkway, but nothing special. However, there is a nice Heritage Park with wonderful waterfalls, fun for the kids to explore.
Lovely grounds around the waterfall and the exhibits about the history of the area. The architecture of the historic homes are beautiful. Beautiful well kept park and grounds.
I prowl Uptown Columbus with animal grace at least 5 days a week. And I frequently end up in this area. Everything in this park assaults the senses with crazy-to-look at delights. I don't know what the beehive thing is. A kiln? A bread oven? Clay igloo. No clue. I don't read the signs- Sometimes you just have to appreciate things for what they are. Same goes for the machines- Don't know, don't care. They're things of beauty. One fun fact though. Those familiar with the terms "balls out" or "balls to the wall" will want to inspect these mystery machines closely. Those round, metal things, or "balls" are part of a governor system that kept machines from self-destructing. See, it has nothing whatsoever to do with German leather-metal band Accept.
Beautiful little park. Tons of historical information and beautiful waterfall. Learning the history of the masonry was a great experience.
Worth a stop if you are in the area. It is a small park, but tells the story of the area, the river, industry, etc. It is across the street from the Coca Cola Space Museum which is accessable via the Riverwalk, so it is worth a stop if you are strolling along. Parking is tight in that area, you may want to park at the hotel next door.
First and most importantly it's free to walk around! The area has an interesting history and worth exploring for a few hours especially on a nice day!
lots of history and very pretty, good for a short visit, but it won't take too long, and don't go if the weather is bad!
The Heritage Corner is just a tranquil park on the corner of Broadway and 7th. It is in a location that has seen a lot of renovation to the downtown area. I enjoyed the park and there are a few odds and ends that highlight the history of the area including a brick kiln, a turbine generator from the dam and some nice statues and sculptures. The water feature in the middle of the park is a dam and is also nice. Around Heritage corner are some of Columbus' most famous and oldest houses. The Pemberton house(founder of Coca-Cola) is one of them. I enjoyed walking through the neighborhood and viewing the houses as much as the park itself. There are plaques and historical markers to highlight what you are seeing.
the fountains and pools were clean and beautiful, I really appreciate how nicely the park is kept. we enjoyed strolling around admiring the historic homes nearby as well!
