About Genoa Park303 W. Broad St.
Columbus, OH 43215
View on MapGenoa Park is located on the western bank of the Scioto River
between Rich Street and Broad Street. The park is named after the Italian
city of Genoa – one of Columbus’ ten international sister cities and the
birthplace of city’s namesake Christopher Columbus.Park features
include:Riverfront Amphitheater – With stunning views of the downtown
skyline, the amphitheater attracts thousands of visitors for concerts and
events each year.Genoa Park Lighting – This dynamic LED lighting feature is
installed within the steps and seating area of the Riverfront Amphitheater
and programmed to display a variety of multi-colored designs throughout the
year.Columbus Police Memorial | This monument bears the names of Columbus
Police Officers who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to the
public.Lucas Sullivant Statue – Erected in 2000, the statue was commissioned
by the Franklinton Historical Society and created by local artist Michael
Foley.  Lucas Sullivant was a surveyor and early American frontiersman who
founded Franklinton in 1797.  Named in honor of Benjamin Franklin,
Franklinton is Columbus’ oldest neighborhood and was the first settlement in
the Scioto Valley north of Chillicothe.Scioto Lounge Deer Sculptures – Genoa
Park is home to two whimsical bronze sculptures of “humanized” deer (a third
sculpture in this series is located on the Rich Street Bridge).  Country
music singer and acclaimed visual artist Terry Allen came up with the
concept after visiting the city and learning that the Scioto River takes its
name from the Shawnee Indian word for “hairy water.”  According to local
legend, when the Shawnee first migrated to Scioto River valley from the
Carolinas, they found deer hair floating in the river.Genoa Park Fountains –
Located at the top of the Riverfront Amphitheater, the fountains are
comprised of 24 bronze basins housed in 12 stone pedestals along Washington
Boulevard.Adjacent to Genoa Park and across the street from the Riverfront
Amphitheater is the Center of Science and Industry (COSI) – a dynamic
hands-on science museum and one of downtown Columbus’ most popular
attractions.  During COSI’s 1999 move to the riverfront’s west side, the
historic façade of the old Central High School (built in 1924) was preserved
and incorporated into Arata Isozaki’sarchitectural design for the museum’s
new facility.
Parking is free at  the meters on Sunday and $5 in the COSI parking lots.
Packet pickup begins at 6 am and there will be a sign with our logo on it to
identify our group's meeting place before and after the race.  The sign is
ours at the end of the event.
