Lincoln Park

A Piece of Columbus History

Positioned in Columbus' South Side neighborhood, Lincoln Park spans nearly 16 acres of community space that's been serving local residents since 1916. As one of the city's more seasoned parks, it's witnessed over a century of Columbus history while continuing to evolve with the community around it.

What You'll Find Here

At the heart of the park stands the Barack Community Center, where you'll find indoor programs and activities that keep the neighborhood connected year-round.

When summer temperatures climb, Lincoln Pool becomes the neighborhood's favorite cooling spot - a simple but welcome relief from Ohio's humid summers.

Getting Active

If you're looking to break a sweat or just toss a ball around, Lincoln Park offers several athletic fields and basketball courts that see plenty of friendly competition throughout the week.

Not feeling particularly athletic? No problem. The park's picnic tables and open air shelter provide perfect spots to enjoy lunch outdoors, catch up with friends, or simply sit with a good book. Paved walking paths wind through the grounds, ideal for a casual stroll or a morning jog to start your day right.

Why It Matters

These 16 acres provide a green space in Columbus' South Side where neighbors gather, kids play after school, and community events take place throughout the seasons.
