Английская Википедия:Genoa Park
Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Infobox park Genoa Park is a Шаблон:Convert urban park along the west bank of the Scioto River in Columbus, Ohio, United States. The park, located between Broad and Rich Streets as part of the Scioto Mile park grouping, is named after Genoa, the birthplace of Christopher Columbus and one of Columbus' sister cities.[1] It opened in 1999.[2]
History
The park was expanded from 2011 to 2015, along with the parks along the entire Scioto River. The river was stagnant and muddy due to the Main Street Dam, a low head dam built in 1918 to control flooding, but which doubled the width of the river to Шаблон:Convert. The dam removal in 2013, along with sediment removal, narrowed the river to Шаблон:Convert, giving the city access to Шаблон:Convert of previously submerged shoreline. The parks have helped revitalize the city's downtown area.[3]
Attributes
The park follows the curve of the Scioto River on its western bank. The Oval, an open green space, was underwater prior to the Main Street Dam removal in 2013.[4]
The park features an amphitheater and fountains. Public artwork and monuments include Celebration of Life, the Columbus Police Memorial, several works as part of Scioto Lounge, and the statue of Lucas Sullivant.
The river bank features a riparian zone, a natural line of plants along the river, keeping soil from eroding into the water.[4]
