John W. Galbreath Bicentennial Park

This 4.66 acre park at 233 Civic Center Drive is a downtown destination that features a one-of-a-kind fountain, park restaurant, and an eye-catching performance pavilion. The Scioto Mile Fountain presented by the American Electric Power Foundation —a stunning 15,000 square-foot marvel—shoots more than 1,000 jets of water, enhanced by unique lighting and fog effects, and is interactive and accessible for visitors of all ages. The park is also home to Milestone 229, a state-of-the-art, glass-enclosed restaurant and covered dining terrace that offers a panoramic view of the Scioto Mile, fountain, and the downtown skyline. The Performing Arts Pavilion is a permanent stage that hosts concerts, movies, and dance performances. The park was originally dedicated in 1976 to honor John W. Galbreath, an Ohio philanthropist, builder, Kentucky Derby breeder, and owner of the Pittsburgh Pirates from 1945- 1985.
