Yes! You can fill out a Carousel Reservation Request Form. This does not mean the carousel is only operational to your party, but it allows our staff to accommodate your group more efficiently. We do ask for 72 hours notice for a group notification so we can best accommodate you. For more questions, contact us here.

If you are interested in formally reserving the carousel for your group only, please submit a request here. A team member will contact you to discuss availability on your requested date. The carousel can be rented for $50 for each 30 minute increment. ($100/hr). 

Columbus Commons is funded through parking garage revenue from the Columbus Commons Main Garage and Underground Garage. Every time someone parks at one of our garages, it helps fund the free programming we offer at the park.  

We’re thankful for our supportive sponsors that make free experiences at Columbus Commons possible.   

If you are looking for accessible parking, there are several ADA parking spots in the corners of the Columbus Commons Main Garage near the elevators.

Columbus Commons presently stands on the spot that once housed the City Center, a historic shopping destination in Columbus. The park’s construction began in 2010, and Columbus Commons made its debut in May 2011. Learn more about the history of Columbus Commons here.  

Columbus Commons park is a green roof that sits on top of the Underground Parking Garage. Therefore, it is not possible to grow trees and plants on the soil of the lawn over the garage since it is not deep enough.
