About Scioto Mile (Bicentennial Park and riverfront)

Wedding photos on the Scioto Mile come with the whole of downtown Columbus behind you. The riverfront parks stretch along the Scioto River from the Arena District to the Whittier Peninsula, more than 175 acres of lawns and fountains along a riverfront promenade. Couples come here for portraits and first looks between the wedding ceremony and the reception, and the mix of water and skyline gives a photographer and a videographer plenty to work with in a short walk.

Bicentennial Park is the usual starting point. From Memorial Day to Labor Day the Scioto Mile Fountain runs daily, and its jets and the lawns around it make a lively setting for wedding pictures of the whole party. The promenade along the river is quieter, a good place for a slow walking clip on your wedding video with the water beside you. The parks are free and open to everyone, so expect joggers and food trucks in the background, especially on summer weekends.

Plan your stop around the city's calendar, because the riverfront hosts festivals and concerts through the year, and big events can fill the lawns and the parking. The parks along the Mile are open daily from 7 a.m. to 11 p.m., and in summer there are public restrooms and changing facilities at Bicentennial Park and Dorrian Green. Parking is in metered street spaces, surface lots and downtown garages. If you'd like a wedding ceremony in a city park, Columbus Recreation and Parks rents outdoor wedding sites and will look into other open park spaces if you call.

Check the events calendar before you pick a time on your wedding day.
Walk the route with your photographer and decide on two or three stops, since the Mile is long.
Ask Columbus Recreation and Parks about photo and video guidelines and permits for anything you plan to bring.

A little about the Scioto Mile

The downtown riverfront was once lined with rail yards and factories. When the Main Street Dam was removed in late 2013, the river returned to its natural flow and about 33 acres of new green space opened along the banks.
