South Park

The property that is now South Park was purchased by the Village in 2000. The park is home to a sculpture “Understorms” that was created by Village resident Barry Gunderson. The sculpture was placed at the Franklin Park Conservatory for several years until new construction at the Conservatory required it to be moved.

The Franklin Park Conservatory Joint Recreational District gifted the sculpture to the Village of Gambier. With Kenyon College assisting with the installation of the sculpture at South Park, the Village maintains the sculpture for the community to enjoy.

Future plans for the park included placement of benches and a possible picnic area.
