Downtown Scenic River Walk, Shaded Benches, Custom Fountains & More. The Promenade stretches along the east bank of the Scioto River, connecting Battelle Riverfront Park and Bicentennial Park along Civic Center Drive. Built upon the former site of the Avenue of Flags, the Promenade features a stone colonnade with shaded swings, park benches, beautiful gardens and tables designed for card games, chess and similar games. The historic carved limestone balustrade, originally built as part of the 1920s floodwall project, has been fully restored to its original condition.

wonderful area with lots to see. gives you a great way to see the downtown area and get to know Columbus
At the heart of downtown Columbus and bordering the beautiful Scioto River this romantic promenade is a lovely place to walk around and enjoy the scenery. There is metered parking nearby. In the summer the Scioto Mile features a spraygound and fountain.
Along the Scioto Mile, there's numerous parks (especially Bicentennial and Columbus Commons), Milestone 229 (restaurant), and more. There's constantly festivals down there in the summer (you can also kayak on the river) and amazing Christmas lights for the winter. It won't be hard finding *something* going on near the Scioto.
