About West Bank Park in Columbus
West Bank Park is an 18.64-acre regional park located in the Downtown community of Columbus, Ohio. Situated along the western bank of the Scioto River, the park offers visitors scenic views of the city skyline and waterfront.
The park is part of the larger Scioto Mile network, a collection of parks and trails that line the riverfront in downtown Columbus. The Scioto Trail, a multi-use path popular with cyclists and pedestrians, runs through West Bank Park, providing connectivity to other areas along the river.
West Bank Park features open green spaces suitable for picnicking and casual recreation. The park's location along the Scioto River makes it a prime spot for fishing and watching river activities. Its proximity to downtown Columbus also makes it a convenient outdoor space for urban residents and workers to enjoy during lunch breaks or after work hours.
The park underwent renovations as part of broader efforts to revitalize Columbus's riverfront areas, improving access to the water and enhancing the overall visitor experience. These improvements have helped integrate West Bank Park more fully into the city's network of urban green spaces.
