Eden Park, Cincinnati
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Eden Park, owned and operated by the Cincinnati Park Board, is located in the Mt. Adams community of Cincinnati, Ohio. The park began as the designation for the city's water supply, purchased in 1859. However, early on the city saw that the area could also serve the dual purpose of city park. The park area was originally designed by noted landscape architect Adolph Strauch, who also was responsible for Spring Grove Cemetery.
Eden Park is home to a number of city landmarks and landforms, such as Krohn Conservatory, the Cincinnati Art Museum, Elsinore Arch, Cincinnati Playhouse in the Park, Seasongood Pavilion, the Eden Park Water Tower, Melan Arch Bridge and Mirror Lake. The site was also the previous home of the Art Academy of Cincinnati, which has since relocated to downtown Cincinnati. Much of the land was given to the city by Nicholas Longworth, once the wealthiest man of Cincinnati. The park overlooks the ohioland area is impressive, comprised of one-hundred and eighty-six acres, and excellent views of the Ohio River valley. There are groves, gardens and a gazebo. The[1][2]
