Sawyer Point Park & Yeatman's Cove are a pair of side-by-side parks on the riverfront of downtown Cincinnati, Ohio, United States. The two linear parks stretch one mile along the north shore of the Ohio River. [1] Since 2012, the parks have been the location for the annual Bunbury Music Festival.
Yeatman's Cove park occupies the former site of a tavern established in 1793 by Griffin Yeatman. [2] Yeatman's establishment was the first tavern in Cincinnati, and as such was very popular with men working on the river. [3] The park features a colossal bronze statue of Cincinnatus, the namesake of Cincinnati, and is a popular place to watch the Cincinnati Bell/WEBN Riverfest at Labor Day weekend. [4]
The Serpentine Wall is a serpentine-shaped flood wall on the banks of the Ohio River, located at Yeatman's Cove. Completed in 1976, [5] the wall features steps descending to the river, upon which visitors can sit and look across to Northern Kentucky. [6]
