Columbus Commons will be the central recreational open space of downtown Columbus. Located on 9 acres of the former City Center Mall, the park will include open lawn areas for recreation and events, walking paths, trees, and flower gardens. Over time, Columbus Commons will transform into a complete mixed-use neighborhood consisting of multi-story buildings with residential units above street-level retail, office space, and entertainment venues. The park will remain the neighborhood centerpiece with strong connectivity to the pedestrian-friendly street grid. www.downtowncolumbus.com/progress/columbus-commons
