Bicentennial Park in Columbus, OH is a distinctive 4.66-acre downtown destination known for its unique fountain, park restaurant, and striking performance pavilion. Originally dedicated in 1976 to honor John W. Galbreath, a notable Ohio philanthropist and sports figure, the park offers visitors a memorable urban oasis.

The park's features include a glass-enclosed restaurant, Milestone 229, offering a chef-driven menu of comfort food with a gourmet twist, as well as a covered outdoor dining terrace. Additionally, the Scioto Mile Fountain, sponsored by the American Electric Power Foundation, is currently undergoing renovations to enhance its grandeur and is set to reopen in 2024.

Enhancing downtown cultural experiences, the park's outdoor performing arts stage, sponsored by the Franklin County Board of Commissioners, hosts a variety of free music, dance, and theatrical performances, adding to the vibrant atmosphere of the park as a hub for artistic expression and community engagement.
