The Columbus Fireman's Park Complex consists of two buildings and one gate in Fireman's Park in Columbus, Wisconsin, United States. Fireman's Park became a Columbus city park in 1915, and the city's fire department developed the park as a community project. The park's pavilion opened in 1917; while mainly used for community dances, the pavilion also hosted a variety of other events. The second building in the park, known as Rest Haven, opened in 1923. This building, a Prairie School structure designed by Alfred C. Clas, was used for cooking and sanitation by the many auto tourists who visited the park.^[2] The west wall and gate of the park were built in 1917 and are also part of the historic site.^[3] The park buildings were added to the National Register of Historic Places on February 25, 2004.^[1][4]
