You might catch<br />
some live music or<br />
attend a special event<br />
at this gathering spot<br />
in the city’s center.<br />
Surrounded by<br />
restaurants like Via<br />
Vite and shops like<br />
Tiffany & Co., Fountain<br />
Square always has<br />
something fun<br />
happening. Catch a<br />
football game on the<br />
big screen, and enjoy<br />
ice skating and events<br />
like Macy’s Downtown<br />
Dazzle during the<br />
holiday season.<br />

The landscape along the<br />
river’s edge has changed<br />
dramatically in recent years,<br />
and The Banks is the biggest<br />
addition. This mixed-use<br />
development between Paul<br />
Brown Stadium and Great<br />
American Ball Park is full of<br />
bars and restaurants including<br />
Yard House, Pies &<br />
Pints, and Taste of Belgium,<br />
offering tons of entertainment<br />
for those watching a<br />
game—or just out looking<br />
for fun. Adjacent to The<br />
Banks is Smale Riverfront<br />
Park, an inspired green<br />
space that offers gardens,<br />
fountains, interactive play<br />
areas, porch-style swings,<br />
and Carol Ann’s Carousel.<br />
ALSO NEARBY<br />
• Great American Ball Park<br />
• National Underground<br />
Railroad Freedom Center<br />
• Sawyer Point Park<br />
The focal point of<br />
downtown’s historic<br />
OTR neighborhood,<br />
Washington Park<br />
balances both old and<br />
new. A revitalization<br />
in 2012 added an<br />
interactive water park,<br />
dynamic children’s<br />
playground, and dog<br />
park to the expansive<br />
green space. There’s<br />
almost always a cool<br />
event here, from<br />
the popular City Flea<br />
to festivals and<br />
holiday events.<br />
ALSO NEARBY<br />
• Boutique shops<br />
• Trendy bars<br />
• Unique dining<br />
