"The tower will also be one block from the city’s Scioto River shoreline promenade and park, which was completed last year." ---Another Believer _(Talk) 20:52, 23 April 2020 (UTC)

Here's another for fleshing out the promenade's description a bit:

"Mile-long" promenade

But, perhaps a better source can verify the same claim? ---Another Believer _(Talk) 20:56, 23 April 2020 (UTC)

Using Google Maps' measurement tool, it's a mile linear distance from North Bank Park to Scioto Audubon, but from what I could tell, the name reflects the fact that most of the parks are within roughly a square mile. Still looking for good sources. ɱ (talk) 21:38, 23 April 2020 (UTC)

Ɱ, This one says, "In 2002, then-Mayor Mike Coleman introduced a Downtown strategic plan that called for the development of 10,000 new residential units in 10 years. The plan also called for narrowing Civic Center Drive and opening it to two-way traffic to make room for a mile-long promenade linking Bicentennial Park to the south with Battelle Park to the north. And to implement the whole plan, Coleman created the Columbus Downtown Development Corp., a nonprofit public-private partnership run by a board that includes the top CEOs in the city." ---Another Believer _(Talk) 21:49, 23 April 2020 (UTC)
