About the Business
Tappan Square is a 13-acre green space located at 67 North Main Street in Oberlin, Ohio, United States. This park serves as a connection between the college and the city of Oberlin. Legend has it that the founders of Oberlin, John Shipherd and Philo Stewart, prayed under an elm tree in the southeast corner and decided to build their community there. Although the historic elm tree was removed in 1965 due to disease, Tappan Square was designated as a National Historic Landmark in 1966.
The park is named after Arthur Tappan, a 19th-century abolitionist who played a crucial role in the college's financial stability during its early years. In addition to its beautiful trees, benches, and swings, Tappan Square also features the Clark Bandstand, the Memorial Arch, and two boulders known as the Rocks, which often display spray-painted messages.
Oberlin College has separate application processes for the College of Arts and Sciences and the Conservatory of Music. If you have exceptional musical talent and intellectual enthusiasm, there is a place for you at Oberlin. Visit Tappan Square and experience the rich history and beauty of this iconic park.

"Halloween festival was great, but they really need to be better prepared for the giant crowds. They ran out of almost everything by 11:25 am."
"Beautiful fall foliage! I love walking the dogs here and enjoying the fall colors."
"Beautiful park with benches, picnic tables, a gazebo, and more. Great place to breathe."
"College town fit for a millennial. The park square was full of scenery and squirrels. The grass was soft and well kept."
