Eden Park is an urban park located in
the Walnut Hills and Mt. Adams neighborhoods of Cincinnati, Ohio. Eden
Park holds a number of city landmarks and landscape features. The hilltop
park occupies 186 acres and offers numerous overlooks of the Ohio River
valley. The Twin Lakes area features a footbridge traversing adjoining
lakes, at the site of a former quarry. Near the footbridge is a grove
of buckeye trees (Aesculus glabra), the state tree of Ohio.
Public art at the Twin Lakes includes the Capitoline Wolf Statue replica,
a gift of the City of Rome, and the statue of a cormorant fisher, a
gift from Cincinnati's sister city Gifu in Japan. This is the section
that the two RV Gypsies visited and photographed on this date.
A road from the Twin Lakes leads past the Vietnam Veterans Memorial
and over the historic Melan Arch Bridge to the Eden Park Overlook near
the park's highest point. The Ohio River Monument stands overlooking
the river valley. It was dedicated by President Herbert Hoover in 1929
to commemorate canalization of the river for year-round water transport. |
