Located along the east bank of the Ohio River, Evansville offers a good mix of historic, arty and outdoor activities for the whole family. Cyclists can enjoy a scenic ride along the completed portions of the Pigeon Creek Greenway passage, which will eventually completely surround the city, while hikers and other outdoor enthusiasts can explore the 80-acre Garvin Park which offers trails, sports fields, a swimming pool and a lake.

History lovers (and sport enthusiasts) can tour the 100-yr old Bosse Field (home to the Evansville Otters).

There are also excellent attractions for children including Mesker Park Zoo and Botanic Garden and the Kock Family Children’s Museum.
