Polaris Founder's Park is a pocket park in the Polaris area of Columbus (Delaware County), Ohio, United States. The 1.5-acre (0.61 ha) park is located between the office building at 8800 Lyra Drive and Interstate 71.
The park was built as a memorial to Robert C. Echele of the company Polaris Centers of Commerce who was inspirational in developing the 1,200-acre Polaris area. The park features a wind sculpture 35 feet high that was designed by Robert Mullins, a Columbus area artist who counted Mr. Echele as a friend and benefactor. The park, developed at a cost of US$500,000, features a gazebo as well as Japanese-inspired gardens, waterfalls and a pond.
