Dorrian Green

Located in front of COSI, Dorrian Green provides play areas for children and adults. The Fountain Plaza is anchored by an interactive fountain and flanked by two open-air pavilions and flowering cherry tree groves. The northwest and southwest entrances feature salvaged limestone structures from the historic Central High School Stadium, and the kinetic sculpture “The Spectrum Tree” celebrates Isaac Newton’s discovery that sunlight contains the entire spectrum of colors.
