This urban destination still offers abundant green oases, all of which are free for visitors. Stop and smell the roses at Columbus Park of Roses or enjoy a topiary recreation of George Seurat's A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte at Topiary Park, the world’s only topiary recreation of a painting. Columbus Metro Parks boasts 20+ spaces, including the Scioto Audubon Metro Park, which offers the world’s largest free outdoor climbing wall. If the kids are too hot, let them run through the fountains at Bicentennial Park along the Scioto Mile, where families can take in free performances in the summer. Franklin Park Conservatory and Botanical Gardens is even free on the first Sunday of the month for Franklin County residents!
