Eden Park (Cincinnati)
Eden Park is an urban park located in the Walnut Hills and Mt. Adams neighborhood of Cincinnati, Ohio. The hilltop park occupies , and offers numerous overlooks of the Ohio River valley.
==History==
The park's acreage was purchased by the city in 1869 from Nicholas Longworth, a prominent Cincinnati landowner who had previously used it as a vineyard. Longworth called his scenic estate the Garden of Eden, after the biblical place, and the name was retained for the park. The park area was originally designed by noted landscape architect Adolph Strauch, who also was responsible for Spring Grove Cemetery.
The city constructed a 12-acre, 96 million gallon reservoir between 1866 and 1878. The Eden Park Station No. 7 pumped water from the Ohio River into the reservoir and then into the Eden Park Stand Pipe. The reservoir was removed in the early 1960s and the site redeveloped as the Mirror Lake reflecting pool and baseball fields. The reservoir retaining wall, pumping station and standpipe still stand as historical remnants.
