This park is named in honor of Mathews D. "Mat" Swift who served as President of W.C. Bradley Co. Real Estate for 31 years, retiring in 2017. He was one of the primary visionaries and leaders of the transformation of the declining center city into today's Uptown Columbus, a vibrant and revitalized riverfront district featuring attractions, businesses and residential spaces for area residents to live, work and play.
Mat Swift's vision for Columbus has always demonstrated his deep commitment to the quality of life for all its citizens. His unwavering integrity earned him the respect and admiration of the community and his well-deserved recognition as a true Servant Leader.
