Scioto Mile
With a little urban panache, Mother Nature is taking over our Downtown landscape.
The invasion has arrived in the form of the Scioto Mile, a huge winding riverfront park that stretches from the Arena District all the way to the
Construction began in 2008 and the Scioto Mile opened to the public July 7, 2011.
The Promenade section of the park stretches along

The Promenade is lined by a fully-restored limestone balustrade and features a stone colonnade with swinging benches, traditional park benches, and card and chess tables, along with two canal fountains. The Promenade also has a stunning plaza with gorgeous planters and a large fountain featuring bronze fish sculptures, making this park a beautiful collaboration between nature and architecture.
And yes, the entire area is designated a free Wi-Fi zone, offering a little work and a little play every day.
