Tappan Square, Public park in Oberlin, United States
The 13-acre green space features tree-lined paths, a bandstand, and the Memorial Arch at the center of Oberlin's downtown district.
Frederick Law Olmsted Jr. and John Charles Olmsted designed this park in 1914, transforming the former location of college buildings into a public space.
The Memorial Arch commemorates Oberlin missionaries who died during the 1899 Boxer Rebellion in China, incorporating recognition of Chinese casualties.
Two large rocks in the southern corners of the square serve as public painting spaces, allowing visitors to add their own artistic expressions.
The square connects four main streets of Oberlin, creating a central gathering space where college students and residents participate in festivals throughout the year.
