Washington Park spans six acres throughout Cincinnati's hip Over-the-Rhine district, located on the site of a former cemetery interring remains for regional Episcopal and Presbyterian church congregations throughout the 19th century. The park, which was acquired by the City of Cincinnati in 1863, served as the location for the 1888 Centennial Exposition of the Ohio Valley. Preserved exposition structures within the park include an old-fashioned bandstand, while other historic attractions include cannons preserved from the American Civil War. A half-acre children's playground features interactive elements, while the 3,000-square-foot Southwest Porch is home to a wide variety of giant lawn games available for play, including giant cornhole, chess, and Connect Four. During the summer months, parkgoers can cool off at the park's 7,000-square-foot interactive water park, which offers cascading water play areas and synchronized water jets.
