Dorrian Commons Park is a park and part of the Franklin County Government Center in downtown Columbus, Ohio, United States. The Franklin County Courthouse, built in 1887, once stood on the site.[1]
The park has a metal sculpture by an unknown artist.[2] A large cast of Henry Moore's Oval with Points was originally installed in Dorrian Commons Park.[3] The sculpture was moved across High Street in 2014 to the plaza of the newly-remodeled Hall of Justice of the Franklin County Government Center.[4]
The park is scheduled to be demolished and replaced by a county municipal courthouse. The adjacent James A. Karnes Building is to be repurposed or demolished as well. The underutilized park was closed off in December 2018.[5]
