About Yeatmans Cove Park in Cincinnati

Sawyer Point Park & Yeatman's Cove is a picturesque urban park located along the banks of the Ohio River in downtown Cincinnati, Ohio. This linear park stretches for approximately one mile, offering visitors a scenic retreat in the heart of the city.

The park is composed of two connected areas: Sawyer Point and Yeatman's Cove. Yeatman's Cove, named after Griffin Yeatman who established Cincinnati's first tavern in 1793, occupies the western portion of the park. It features a colossal bronze statue of Cincinnatus, the Roman farmer and statesman after whom Cincinnati was named.

One of the park's most distinctive features is the Serpentine Wall, a flood wall with a unique serpentine shape completed in 1976. This wall, located at Yeatman's Cove, features steps descending to the river where visitors can sit and enjoy views of Northern Kentucky across the water.

Sawyer Point Park & Yeatman's Cove serves as a hub for various recreational activities and community events. It hosts the annual Bunbury Music Festival since 2012 and is a popular spot for watching the Cincinnati Bell/WEBN Riverfest fireworks display during Labor Day weekend.

The park offers a blend of natural beauty and urban amenities, making it a favored destination for both locals and tourists. Its location along the Ohio River provides opportunities for relaxation, exercise, and enjoyment of river views, while its proximity to downtown Cincinnati makes it easily accessible.
