Washington Park
A neighborhood park across from Music Hall, with a splash fountain, a lawn stage, and a dog park, serving as the social hub of Over-the-Rhine.
Washington Park was established in 1855. After its 2012 renovation, it became a symbol of Over-the-Rhine's revival. Across the lawn stands the Gothic Music Hall, and the park includes a summer splash fountain, a children's playground, a dog park, and an open-air stage. On weekends it often hosts free concerts, outdoor movies, flea markets, and beer festivals. Restaurants and craft beer bars line the surrounding streets, making it a good place to rest while exploring Over-the-Rhine. Admission is free, and The Connector streetcar has a stop right beside it.
