Located along the banks of the Ohio River, Smale Riverfront Park provides 12 acres of green space within the urban core of Cincinnati. With the iconic John A. Roebling suspension bridge serving as a backdrop, Smale Riverfront Park has grown to become one of the most recognizable and high-profile parks within the Cincinnati Park System. Of horticultural interest the park boasts vibrant annuals displays; extensive ornamental use of native woody and non-woody perennials; and the Gardner Family Rose Garden, one of the largest public rose gardens in the Greater Cincinnati area.
