    Amazing views and lovely park but having no public restrooms is distasteful. Should have a sign saying restrooms for events only. Very unprofessional to have someone tell me they're closed but clearly is open for event only.

    Great area to walk or bike. Save and clean, with lots of people enjoying the outdoors. Great access to Bicentennial park and also the downtown area, Franklinton and popular spots.

    Absolutely beautiful. Gorgeous views of the river. NO public bathrooms. No restrooms. No WC. I can't stress this enough. The one in the pavilion is for event use only (and I can't imagine they'll let you use it -- I didn't even attempt), and the closest place with a bathroom is at least a block away. Enjoyed it while I was here though.

    Beautiful scenery. A great contrast between the river bank and the buildings. A great place to relax in solitude, with loved ones or with friends. Amazing landscape.

    Beautiful venue. Parking is a challenge but that's the trade off for being where the action is.

    Always a great time, if you like walking this the place for you, if you play Pokemon even better. Bring drinks, towels, extra diapers, and wipes. There is parking But be prepared to pay, especially on days when there is an event. It gets hectic so remain calm and breath, DON'T LET THE NON DRIVERS AND DOUCHES MESS UP YOUR GREAT DAY. ENJOY

    Gorgeous views and spectacular event space!! Attended for a wedding and even though the weather was damp, the wedding event was beautiful!

  • 5/5 Teddy B. 6 months ago on Google • 61 reviews
    Very cool public space. Nice view of the skyline and train bridges. Right off the bike bath so accessable from many places.

  • 5/5 Ashley S. 1 year ago on Google • 56 reviews
    My family loves this place. Splash pad in the summer, chairs and tables for sitting, has an event venue that can be rented. Stairs that walk down to the Scioto mile. Beautiful scenery! Parking can be rough though during busy event times.

    Nice park, good view, everything can be great. BUT!! NO RESTROOMS! I don't know, maybe somebody knows where, but I can not find open restroom ( I saw closed restroom).

    Great views of downtown and the new cosi com check it out

  • 5/5 Paul B. 4 years ago on Google
    A beautiful park with a spectacular view of downtown Columbus and the Scioto River. If the parking meters on Spring Street are bagged for no parking you can park in the Neil Avenue Garage in the Arena District. It's a very short walk after that.

  • 3/5 Roger B. 4 years ago on Google
    Nice property but not much of a park. In face, i consider it a public place for reunions, weddings, etc

  • 5/5 John 2 years ago on Google
    Love this place!💯💯

  • 5/5 Lawrence B. 2 years ago on Google
    Very beautiful park. Highly recommend going at night and seeing the different colored lights or riding a scooter along the path

  • 5/5 Jessica Malloy M. 1 year ago on Google
    Just gorgeous, the perfect touches of Industrial architecture mixed with a lush green background, and superior view. I wish I had know about it sooner for my own wedding. The venue spot is truly beautiful and being a city kept property the cost I'm told is very manageable compared to some other costly venue options. If you are looking for an even venue I highly recommend you put this high on your lists.

  • 4/5 MM H. 1 year ago on Google
    This is a nice venue with indoor-outdoor seating facility. Two sides have glass wall. You can enjoy the view of river, railway bridge, and city sky line. I am giving four star because air conditioning was very inadequate.

  • 5/5 Anita A. 1 year ago on Google
    It was the start/finish of the annual Komen Columbus Race for the Cure. This was the first real one since the pandemic. It was a beautiful day and a great setup. I'm an 8 year breast cancer survivor, and this is always a great event.

  • 5/5 Maxwell H. 1 year ago on Google
    I live and love it here. That's right. I love.in the park. Come find me! Jk, it's a long beautiful riverside park. Wonderfully pleasant and lots of events are hosted here. Definitely one of the nicest parts about downtown Columbus.

  • 5/5 Brad B. 1 year ago on Google
    This area is right around the arena district. It was a nice place to walk. It's an awesome spot for the marathon to begin and end.

  • 4/5 Diana L. 1 year ago on Google
    This park always stages the big races like the hot chocolate run. It's a good place for it since there are lots of parking garages for parking in the area. The park itself is small. Nice view of the Scioto River though.

  • 4/5 WAYNE S. 10 months ago on Google
    Nice park. Well maintained some curb side parking meters. And parking garage access. This park has access to the metro parks trail that follows the river. No restroom access when no event is happening. They have a splash pad behind the main building.

    Beautiful Venue for a wedding. My stepsister was married here and it was absolutely beautiful.

  • 5/5 Donna T. 10 months ago on Google

    Beautiful, scenic and peaceful. Great place to take pictures. Love all the different art pieces and the information from the e different statues.

  • 5/5 Joseph C. 3 years ago on Google
    Perfect view of the river, and some covered seating. Enjoy your morning coffee or stop by and have your packed lunch. There's a Cogo station right here if you want to rent a bike and ride up and down the walkway. A favorite spot for cyclists, runners, walkers and families to enjoy a quiet part of downtown.

  • 5/5 Elizabeth H. 5 years ago on Google • 19 reviews
    GORGEOUS. Would love to have my wedding here someday. The view is gorgeous; the space is cozy, yet big enough for a decent sized party (ceremony and reception). I would mainly just worry about parking, but there are a couple of parking garages just up the street (walking distance).
