The Arena was an open space for outdoor shows at Olentangy Park. Shown on maps in the north end of the park, there might have been multiple arenas over the years.

The members of the Stubbs-Wilson Players played a series of polo matches in the Arena against the performers in the Wild West Show in 1910.[1][2]

Hippodrome and Roman Chariot races were held twice daily in 1913[3] and a Wild West show performed in the North Arena in 1916.[4]
