About this adventure

The Scioto Mile connects 175 acres of lush parkland along the scenic Scioto River in downtown Columbus. A weekend family stroll along the wide, paved riverfront promenade offers sweeping views of the city skyline, iconic pedestrian bridges, and native riparian gardens. Kids can run and play on the expansive lawn of Bicentennial Park, watch ducks gliding along the riverbanks, and cross the pedestrian promenade over to COSI and Dorrian Green Park, which features sensory play sculptures, swings, and interactive climbing mounds. The entire promenade is seamlessly stroller-friendly and wheelchair accessible, featuring gradual ramps, park benches every few yards, and public park restrooms with baby changing facilities located right at Bicentennial Park.
