Designed by Sasaki, Smale Riverfront Park connects downtown Cincinnati with the Ohio River. Lawns, planted terraces, walking routes, swings and play spaces sit alongside the Roebling Suspension Bridge. The park was developed in phases; its adventure and water playscapes opened in 2015. This collection documents three fixed viewpoints: the swing canopy, a sculpture area and a water feature area.
