PARK FEATURES

John G. And Phyllis W. SmaleIn the Spring of 2011, John G. Smale, former Chairman of Procter & Gamble, presented a gift of $20 million to the Cincinnati Parks Foundation for the construction of Phyllis W. Smale Riverfront Park. Mr. Smale’s gift was given in tribute to his late wife, who spent decades working tirelessly to raise funds for the city’s green spaces.

Upon Mr. Smale’s passing in the Fall of 2011, the park became the John G. and Phyllis W. Smale Riverfront Park.

SMALE RIVERFRONT PARKSmale Riverfront Park reconnects downtown to the Ohio River and links the chain of parks along the water. It is a park of vistas, of gatherings and celebrations, of recreation, contemplation, and inspiration. The River is always alive here, and this place is a kind of community epicenter for our River City. Planning for the park started in 1997, ground was broken on the first phase in 2008, and the park has been constructed in a series of phases since, with the most recent phase completed in July 2015.

While it reflects Queen City culture, the park is more than anything a collection of local, regional and national

ROSENBERG SWINGS A series of shade pergolas, each containing two porch-size swings, are positioned along the upper river walk with great views of the river. Sets of swings are found on the east side of the park at the Duke Energy Garden and above the great lawn on the west side of the park.

CAROL ANN’S CAROUSEL A jewel box in Smale, the carousel showcases ani-mals iconic to Cincinnati history and culture within a glass building set on a plaza fronting Ted Berry Way.

PICHLER FOUNTAINS & PLAZAThe steps aligning with Vine Street are flanked by water cascades, and a plaza containing a fountain, a reflecting pool, water curtains, and glass balconies.

HEEKIN FAMILY/PNC GROW UP GREAT ADVENTURE PLAYGROUND This playground next to the Roebling Suspension Bridge contains a rock climbing canyon, log climbers, twin racing slides, a rope bridge and a mist feature.

CASTELLINI ESPLANADE Ideal for farmer’s markets, its design reflects the historic character of the produce industry formerly housed here. The unique setting includes moveable picnic tables set on rails, signs and markers with a fruit-cart look, and illustrations of produce that add color to an already artful scene.

P&G GO VIBRANTSCAPE This is all fun, and fun for all. Here you’ll find talking tubes, exercise pieces, a giant foot piano, a flying pig, and water pumps and channels that can be activated to flood a granite relief map of the park.

GARDNER FAMILY GROVE & ROSE GARDEN A plush garden with a variety of roses, located in the West Tree Grove, is a venue for weddings and other special events. This 1.75 acre tree grove is home to about 100 trees including red oak, honey locust, American elm, redbud and an understory of low flower-ing shrubs and herbaceous plants.

efforts. Over $50 million of City, State and Federal funds have been invested in the park combined with over $42 million of private funding. The park is managed by the Cincinnati Park Board, which leads the planning, design, fund-raising and construction efforts.

The park is built as a series of terraces that accommo-date seasonal flooding, including areas lifted out of the floodplain and constructed on the roof of the riverfront garage. Designed with people and the environment in mind, this is the welcoming gateway to our community.
