A mile is a mile is a mile.

 Unless, of course, it’s The Scioto Mile, a one-mile stretch of beautiful parkland running from the Arena District on the north end of Downtown Columbus to Whittier Peninsula on the south.

Part of the Columbus Recreation and Parks Department, The Scioto Mile features:

• The Promenade on the Scioto Mile, a grand esplanade and green corridor that stretches along Civic Center Drive from Broad Street to Rich Street, connecting Battelle Riverfront Park with the John W. Galbreath Bicentennial Park.
• The John W. Galbreath Bicentennial Park, a 4.7-acre park featuring a stunning 15,000-square-foot water fountain, casual dining cafe and eye-catching bandshell.

 

The Scioto Mile is a $44 million investment in Downtown Columbus’ Riverfront. Under the direction of Columbus Downtown Development Corporation (CDDC), which was created in 2002 to lead Downtown redevelopment and implement the Downtown Strategic Plan, The Scioto Mile is just one part of the City’s five-part revitalization plan.
