Topiary Park, Topiary garden in Discovery District, Columbus, United States.
The seven-acre park contains 54 life-sized topiary figures, eight boats, three dogs, a monkey, and a cat arranged across rolling hills around a central pond.
The land previously housed the Ohio Institution for the Deaf and Dumb from 1829 until 1953, when the school relocated to a different location in Columbus.
The entire garden replicates Georges Seurat's painting A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte through meticulously maintained yew tree sculptures.
The park opens daily from sunrise to sunset, featuring public restrooms, a visitor center, and convenient access through public transit lines 10 and 11.
Artists James and Elaine Mason designed bronze frames for the topiary sculptures, which reach heights of up to twelve feet across the landscaped terrain.
