It features topiaries trimmed into life-size shapes of men, women, children, animals, and boats and arranged to resemble the painting A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte.

It was constructed in 1998, designed in brick and resembling a French countryside house to match the park's theme.

The building was funded by the City of Columbus, Motorists Mutual Insurance, and the Friends of the Topiary Park.

Most of the school's buildings burned down in 1981, leading to the development of the park, which helped revitalize the area.

[10] Topiary Park and its garden was conceived by Columbus artists James and Elaine Mason.
