View in City Park, photograph

View in City Park (later renamed Schiller Park) showing border driveway on the south, with Deshler Avenue at the right. Land in the German Village area owned by Francis Stewart in the 1830s and used for local celebrations became known as Stewarts’ Grove. It was the site for the Ohio State Fair in 1864 & 1865. The City of Columbus purchased 23 acres of Stewarts’ Grove in 1867 and re-named it City Park. Improvements were added including a lake with a fountain and foot bridge, an amphitheater and shelter house. The statue of the famous German poet, Johann Christoph Friedrich von Schiller was erected on July 4, 1891. On April 3, 1905 the Park was re-named Schiller Park. On May 27, 1918, during World War I, the Parks’ name was changed to Washington Park because of local anti-German sentiments. The previous name was reinstated on April 7, 1930 and remains Schiller Park to this day. The Park is the second oldest park in the City of Columbus.
