Columbus just opened a new park along the riverfront. It's call the Scioto Mile.
Along the mile are columns with pergolas above and some metal porch swings. Fountains of fish spewing water line the walkway.
And large shallow plates overflow with flowers.
I wondered where everyone was going, until we came to the end -- filled with fountains that shoot up from the ground and spritz down from above. On this hot day, the park was filled with people. All I could think was "Oh, the humanity!"
I caught these girls with the sun behind them enjoying relief from the heat.

These pictures are absolutely gorgeous! Columbus really has some cool things going on there, I love it!
Oh, these look delightful! Who doesn't enjoy sprays or sprinkles of water on a hot day!
Thanks for visiting my blog.
I love the contrast of the people against the white water! Looks like fun!
What a gorgeous park! I love unique fountains and I think the fish fountain qualifies. LOL
Kids just love those areas with water shooting up. We have a couple of those in the area where we are living now.
I still love those fountains that shoot water, those kids look like thy're having a great time .
These are wonderful pics and the flowers are beautiful!
That looks like a lovely park! The shooting fountains look like great fun!
I love the two fountains! It would be a lot of fun to run through the large fountains--especially today. It's pretty hot here (and due to get hotter the next several days).

That's the best way to beat the heat! I like the idea of fountains for large numbers of people rather than swimming pools . . .
Oh, that looks like such a wonderful place! So refreshing. I just love the fish sculpture.
I love the fountains and flowers. Seems like a great place to walk or run.
The hotter the weather gets the more I like the fountain parks. The fish fountain is very cool looking.
i'd love one of those in my backyard right now! It is so hot!
I love those fish.
Great photos. What a great place for a walk or to cool off! I love the water fountains.
