The Scioto Mile is comprised of 145 acres of lush parkland that runs through the heart of downtown, connecting the downtown areas of the riverfront arena district, and goes all the way down to the Whittier Peninsula. The Scioto Mile allows pedestrians, tourists, and locals the opportunity to enjoy the riverfront area by using its integrated system of bikeways, pathways, boulevards, and parks.
For those who enjoy travelling through the Scioto Mile, there are many attractions that you can enjoy, including a 15,000-foot interactive fountain, a free outdoor climbing wall, an amphitheater, and a 120-acre Scioto Audubon that attracts shore birds as well as birds of prey to the shoreline. Throughout the year, there are several events that take place, including a jazz and rib festival.
