John G. and Phyllis W. Smale Riverfront Park, Public park in downtown Cincinnati, US

The park stretches along the Ohio River between Great American Ballpark and Paul Brown Stadium, featuring gardens, walkways, and water features.

The Cincinnati Park Board initiated development of this recreational space in 2012 with a substantial 20 million dollar gift from John G. Smale.

The Marian A. Spencer Statue stands within the park as a memorial to local African American civil rights leaders and their contributions.

The park operates daily from 6:00 AM to 11:00 PM, providing playgrounds, picnic areas, and multiple paths for walking and cycling activities.

The Gardner Family Grove and Rose Garden contains specific flower varieties that attract local butterflies and support the regional ecosystem.
