Koehler Park Entry Gates

When you walk into Koehler Park from St. Mary’s Street, you can’t miss the huge red sandstone columns with awesome ironwork on each side. These massive columns were built right after Emma Koehler donated the park to the city in 1915, though no one really knows who designed them. On each column, there’s a simple plaque that says “Otto Koehler Park,” marking the entrance to a place full of history and adventure!
