Old South Cemetery [detail of Caldwell's Atlas of Franklin Co. and of the City of Columbus, Ohio: from actual suveys]

Description

Livingston Park was the first piece of city-owned land to be used as a public park, but it was originally a cemetery. Known as South (or later East) Graveyard, it operated as such until 1881 when City Council decided to convert the cemetery into a park known as “South Park” (later Livingston Park).
