STRATEGY 3 Expand event and leasable space

When compared to similar Columbus City Parks such as Schiller and Whetstone, Goodale’s facilities are lacking. Strategy 3 aims to bring more leasable space to Goodale Park while improving the Shelterhouse and Goodale Plaza. Expanded gardens, restroom facilities, and larger terraces will allow larger private events to take place in the park. The plan also envisions a Picnic Terrace at the site of the current central tennis courts. This venue will serve as a profitable park element while also bringing more visitors into the park for family friendly gatherings. In addition to strengthening Goodale’s identity as Columbus’s Art Park, these spaces will help maintain Goodale Park status as one of Columbus’s more beloved pleasure grounds.
