Beautiful however at night it brings concerns of safety with the homeless population. How can the City of Columbus endore such a beautiful attraction knowing the lives of humans regardless of reasons are laying below ground?

It was a really nice place. The view was so amazing that I actually go there often now. Just to sit back and relax and look at how this beautiful park is. Maybe u will see you there, lol.

Loved It! Clean, Quiet and Peaceful. No Homeless Bums. Only Lovers and Fitness Freaks, Kayakers and Tourists. Well Done Columbus.

This is an awesome place for family and couple. Nice promenade and kid play arena. A majestic suspension bridge and overall great place. The stadium and eateries are right opposite to the promenade. Had a good time.

Another beautiful section along the Scioto River! While you can continue to use it as part of the greenway or a stroll down the Scioto Mile area, Battelle Riverfront Park is also home to quite a few memorials, monuments, and art pieces to enjoy. The memorials include one for the Columbus Firefighters, featuring an eternal flame at the top of the piece, the Spanish American War Memorial, and the Workers Memorial, which is dedicated to the Franklin County Workers who have passed while on the job. One of the memorials, which is dedicated those lost on the Space Shuttle Challenger, was designed by local children and is called Their Spirits Circle the Earth.

The art features a wonderful swooping sculpture Freedom by local sculptor Alfred Tibor and a sculpture of a man, woman, and baby called To Honor the Immigrants by local sculptor Gary Ross. There are also a number of bronze animals populating the grassy tree area to catch the eye - these six sculptures, along with a large plaque containing the story the illustrations are pulled from - are in the James W. Barney Pickaweekee Story Grove here in Battelle Riverfront Park.

There are also donor plaques lining the sidewalk near the memorials and art. This is a very peaceful and relaxing spot. There is nearby street parking using the meters, or it's easily accessible as part of the trails running along the Scioto.

Loved the time spent outdoors with family and friends! Looks beautiful and the large swings are wonderful! Good family fun! Or a great place to walk and take in the sights of downtown Columbus!

It's a beautiful place to go and enjoy yourself at. And I recommend anybody to go there it's a beautiful place to go and collect your thoughts and escape to reality and to go running and jogging if you like as well

Bring a blanket and lay out. A short walk from the North Market and you have an instant picnic. Use the restroom before. There are no public restrooms in sight.

A beautiful park along the Scioto Mile. Great for family relaxing, walking, running, or biking. Gorgeous Summer sunsets here

This was a nice park by the river. Be careful if your taking small children. The individuals on bikes or scooters will run you over.

Wonderful place to walk around and enjoy the weather, Praise to everyone who is wearing a mask and practicing social distancing!

For those who are not wearing a mask just try a little Harder!

Remember the Covid is real!

Have been going here for years.it has become unsafe down there. Its really sad because I dont feel comfortable going to sit at the river admiring the water andights at night any longer.

Great place to sit and just enjoy the sunset. Very Calm. People mostly come in groups with families and friends. Great place for cycling and skating as I saw many people doing that. A perfect picnic spot with great restaurants nearby.

It was a very pretty area. I imagine it would be a relaxing place to hang out, but there was a 5k going on so it was quite busy.

It's a beautiful place, right in the middle of Downtown Columbus Ohio! Beautiful parks, seating areas, fountains, huge shade trees, a blast every time we go!

This is a place for anyone who is just arrived and living in Columbus should make a point to see. The best time I would recommend is at Golden hour, when not many people are around. There is a calm tranquility about the place that makes you feel like you are at home.at least for me.

Nice park to visit and relax, we took a 10 min.walk by the river and it is truly one of the more peaceful spots in Columbus. There are alot of plaques and iron made statues, you can also walk close to one of the train bridges and rent bikes for cheap.

Beautiful place right next to the scioto mile and the olentangy bike trail. Great view of the bridges and the river as well as the city skyline. This is a great park.
