The Columbus Fireman's Park Complex consists of the Pavilion, a historic building used for many years and built by hand, the Resthaven, a building people can use a resting place during a journey, the Boys Scout Cabin, and two gates into the complex in Fireman's Park in Columbus, Wisconsin.

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 has also hosted a variety of other events. Resthaven, a Prairie School structure designed by Alfred C. Clas of Milwaukee, opened in 1923 and has been used for cooking and sanitation by the many auto tourists who visit 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]
