View of Downtown Columbus and Scioto River

Highlight • Viewpoint

With the sparkling water in front of you and the city skyline in the background, this is a great place to stop and take in the view. It's especially great on calm, clear nights when the city lights reflect of the water.

Historic Columbus Union Station Arch

Highlight • Monument

The Union Station Arch stands 35 feet tall and is a Beaux-Arts structure designed by Daniel Burnham. This is the centerpiece of McFerson Commons Park, but it was originally part of Union Station's grand High Street colonnade entrance, completed in 1899. The arch features intricate Corinthian columns, friezes, and angel reliefs. After Union Station's demolition in 1976, preservationists saved the arch, relocating it first to Arch Park in 1980 and later to McFerson Commons in 1999 to make way for a parking garage.
