    Beautiful part of the trail! I usually stop here to watch sunset over the river!

    Absolutely love this place. Had my wedding here in 2012. It was a May wedding and Geoff was great to work with, as was everyone we worked with from the cultural arts center. We loved the space both outdoors and indoors. Luckily the weather head out and the wedding was outside. I would totally suggest have a wedding here and reception too if gathering is the right size. No more than 100 for wedding and reception up to 175 for just wedding.

    This is one of my favorite parks to visit! It is very cool since it has a play set, a path to walk, and some cool sculptures and architectures! It even has a geocache nearby! I enjoy visiting it when I’m on a biking trail, since it’s easy to get into.

    Nice apartment, terrible management. And when it is all said and done that is all I will remember about this place. I received a letter from Collections AFTER we thoroughly went through what we settled on. Heck, our apt is the one they show on their website for model pictures, so I can promise you we took care of it and cleaned it top to bottom when we left. Lady in the office was just rude and I would not recommend giving them business. If you have a second option, go with it!

    Excellent municipal adult arts facility- it's best from student perspective; instructors' value is paid in lip-service & gratitude.

  • 4/5 Codie R. 2 years ago on Google
    Great place for dogs to run around

    my home studio away from Whispers and Echoes studio. ..the environment is a spiritual oasis in downtown Columbus. Namaste. Imagine and live in peace.

    Universal: Works from the Private Collections of Barbara R. Nicholson&Bettye J. Still...Excellent exhibition, met many artists and the staff at The Cultural Arts Center was fabulous! A Columbus jewel!

  • 1/5 Jeff R. 8 years ago on Google
    Instructor does not help students. Is not a friendly environment. If your paying to learn Instuctor shouldn't yell at you.

  • 5/5 Brett z. 6 years ago on Google

    Nice park

  • 5/5 Nathaniel S. 5 years ago on Google
    The center is excellent in the fact that staff are friendly and the instructors are amazing. It's a great way to learn, de-stress, and make friends.

    Too late

  • 5/5 gary w. 7 years ago on Google
    One of the cheapest forms of entertainment in Columbus. As well, a great place to meet friends. It caters to all levels and you will get out of it what you put into it.

  • 2/5 John B. 6 years ago on Google
    The ceramics class was great. The only down side is that you better be prepared to miss work in order to get into a class because of their weird sign up policy. They allows walk ups to start the day of the specific class (a weekday) at 9 am, they do not allow online signup until later that night. At least I think this is how it works, they made it really complicated for a select few donors who do not have internet access. I would not try to go into work late unless you plan on being several hours late. The line waits are at least an hour, in general. It just seems counter intuitive to have a sign up policy like this when the classes are mostly evenings for people who work. It used to open Saturdays online and was first come first serve. I agree that there should be a walk up option, but it should be combined first come first serve. As this was changed without any real feedback from members, I hope that they have a group of people looking at changing this policy.

    This is one of Columbus' best kept secrets. Housed in the Old Ohio State Arsenal Building, built in 1861, the Cultural Arts Center is a goldmine of resources for the creatively inclined. Art classes, tours, exhibits, rental space and shopping, there is something for everyone. Conveniently located downtown next to the Scioto Mile. Columbus is very fortunate to have such a beautiful and vibrant arts facility.

  • 5/5 Andrew M. 5 years ago on Google
    We rented the Cultural Arts Center for our wedding last weekend (August 2018), and couldn't have made a better selection. What made us first look there was the price: inside and out for an entire day was incomparably affordable relative to other venues we looked at. Additionally, we could choose any licensed caterer to work the day, though they did have a pre-approved list. The venue itself is gorgeous, placed right next to the river, and requires very little decoration. Many of our guests enjoyed looking at the art during the reception; made for a good talking point. The staff is easy to work with, and Jackie (the coordinator) was very helpful. We'd recommend the CAC to anybody looking for an affordable and beautiful venue in Columbus!

    I went to view this space for an event coming up next year. Awesome atmosphere, friendly staff, and very affordable! Beautiful inside and out!

  • 5/5 Jordan D. 2 years ago on Google
    Amazing park great neighborhood friendly people and kids friendly

  • 3/5 ThatGuyNich 2 years ago on Google
    Just stopped for a place to sit and eat and we found it here. Parking can be tight being in the heart of a residential neighborhood. We didn't find all the art pieces from the photos. Lots of dogs being walked the day we went.

  • 2/5 Robin L. 2 years ago on Google
    Was a very nice peaceful setting

  • 4/5 Bryan F. 2 years ago on Google
    There's good park benches, perfect for late night phone conversations with friends halfway across the country.

  • 3/5 Ethan V. 1 year ago on Google
    It was alright. A little small, especially if you want to play sports.

  • 4/5 Roger D. 10 months ago on Google
    Nice neighborhood park that is in a densely populated area just northeast of downtown Columbus. Harrison Park, the actual park and not the apartments of the same name is well maintained and has a gazebo, playground, benches and picnic tables, large open field and has the Olentangy Trail that goes through it. There is construction going on and part of the Olentangy Trail is rerouted. Parking seems to be along the street which means that if you don't live near the park it might take a little time to find a spot. Also I didn't see any restrooms.

  • 5/5 Jamie M. 11 months ago on Google
    Stopped here before we could get into our AirB&B. Wonderful park to let our kiddo run around and have a picnic. Quiet neighborhood and plenty of green space. Playground is definitely geared towards younger kiddos.

  • 5/5 Rodney F. 8 months ago on Google
    Nice little dog friendly park next to the Olentangy river. The playground has a variety of equipment for kids if all ages. There is a gazebo where people often practice Yoga or Tai-Chi. The multi-use trail runs through the park as well

  • 4/5 emily t. 7 months ago on Google
    nice park, clean, but no drinking fountain and no restrooms. lush grass. right plumb in the currently hard to access zone due to the widespread lower olentangy tunnel project construction.

  • 5/5 Brandon Y. 6 months ago on Google
    Great neighborhood park for kids and pets.

  • 5/5 Alex W. 6 months ago on Google
    Harrison Park is a nice local park. I usually see some sort of wildlife when walking the trail in the back. There's also a massive playground and cute gazebo.

  • 4/5 Ian Seeds I. 4 years ago on Google
    Another relaxing place.

  • 3/5 Caroline V. 4 years ago on Google
    Super nice park by river and condos. Has closed in park area.

  • 5/5 Brian B. 3 years ago on Google
    Had fun doing a mini picnic under the done. Beautifully cared for park along the Olentangy river. I wish the trees were a bit bigger so the picnic tables were in their shade. We'll just have to wait for mother nature.

  • 3/5 Trevor R. 3 years ago on Google
    It's a great park but does need the community to keep it clean and not litter.

  • 5/5 Steven S. 4 years ago on Google
    Loved it we go there often

  • 5/5 Bethany P. 3 years ago on Google

  • 4/5 Steve E. 4 years ago on Google
    Very safe and lots of open spaces for the little ones to run around in. Also fenced in by the road so it keeps them safe.

  • 4/5 Cassie C. 4 years ago on Google
    Wish there were restrooms or at least a water fountain but cute little park

  • 5/5 Megan M. 4 years ago on Google
    Nice shaded park off the beaten path.

  • 1/5 Blaine M. 4 years ago on Google
    I'm not sure what that Park is like I don't remember having visited because I've never heard of it never been there so I can't tell if it's good or bad

  • 5/5 Ralph M. 4 years ago on Google
    Was here for a birthday party

  • 5/5 Jon E. 4 years ago on Google
    Nice park! Typically not crowded

  • 5/5 Yasemin S. 4 years ago on Google
    Not too crowded and great for toddlers.

  • 5/5 TJB M. 4 years ago on Google
    Beautiful and Quiet

  • 5/5 Stephanie Z. 5 years ago on Google
    If you’re going to sign up for ceramics, take a class that Adena or Eric teaches, not with the Mon/Wed/Thurs evening instructor. They truly love to teach and are so passionate about what they do. Tanya, the Monday evening drawing basics instructor, is AMAZING and so full of love and character. The CAC holds a special place in my heart ❤️❤️

  • 4/5 black s. 5 years ago on Google
    The park was nice but it need a little work.

  • 5/5 Todd K. 5 years ago on Google
    Down by the river, a quiet neighborhood.

  • 1/5 Amanda T. 8 years ago on Google
    Wish I could give different ratings for the actual property separate from the staff. Staff would get 1 star and property would get 3-4 stars. Cons When I was living there, the apartment manager Brittany is incredibly rude.  She had zero understanding of customer service and it was absolutely miserable, like pulling teeth, every time I had to ask her a question.  She was hardly ever helpful and always responded with a snotty attitude.  The fobs are constantly broken, resulting in the front door always being unlocked or being locked out all together.  The office is always closed and it is impossible to get someone to answer your phone call.  Make sure you read the lease CAREFULLY.  Upon move out we found out that buried in the lease we agreed nearly $500 of our deposit would go to common area charges..... while living here we paid for common area utilities on our utilities bill each month, which was also 100+ more per month than my new apartment even without having the air on for months at a time.. Pros The apartments are beautiful themselves, the pricing is on par for the area so relatively expensive.  Large closets, good carpet, lots of cabinet space.. in an entire year I only had an issue with street parking once. All in all, I wouldn't recommend this apartment complex to anyone.  Until they get a better grip on management, being a tenant of theirs will be miserable.

  • 4/5 Haley P. 8 years ago on Google
    Love this apartment. Balcony is amazing. My parents pay for this apartment--if they didn't I wouldn't be able to afford this. One thing I don't like is I am always getting a new neighbor. People don't live here that long and I don't know why? I recommend this place to live!!

  • 5/5 Ryan K. 8 years ago on Google
    I don't normally write reviews for things, but considering my recent experiences with Brittany and the management company, I felt compelled to write one. My entire experience has been nothing but positive, from when I first viewed the apartment to when I signed the lease and beyond. Brittany has done an excellent job of providing answers to any questions I might have as well as quickly providing solutions to any problems that may arise. I highly recommend this property not only for the excellent location and amenities, but for the responsiveness and care that comes from Brittany and the managing staff.

  • 4/5 Alicia P. 9 years ago on Google
    Lovely Park. Well suited for families. There are activities for crawlers up to teens. On the bike path. Semi closed in and set back from the street for safety. Problems are no restrooms or portables even. Also, wish there was more shade.

  • 1/5 Sean K. 9 years ago on Google
    The two middle-aged ladies in the leasing office were extremely unorganized, discourteous, and grossly unprofessional. Their obsession with talking over the top of other prospect tenants, and all observed for that matter who were entering into the office, was appalling. They stated their company recently took over management of the complex in recent weeks accounting for our receiving different answers to simple questions based upon whom we talked to, but that doesn't consider poor personal conduct. We will certainly not be considering applying at this point, and I recommend the same to all; poor administration.

  • 5/5 Ray C. 4 years ago on Google
    Beautiful old building and it's free. We roamed around the building for a half hour. They have some very interesting art work and classes in session. A worthwhile stop if your in the area.

  • 5/5 Upgradde U. 3 years ago on Google
    Excellent , reasonable place to learn art.

  • 5/5 Susan W. 5 years ago on Google
    Public and free gallery, affordable community classes in a variety of mediums

  • 5/5 Josh C. 3 years ago on Google
    I don't know if there's not a lot of kids in this neighborhood, or my timing is just right, but it's never crowded here. A modern playground, with an area for todlers as well.
