The Peninsula

Live and play at the forefront of the Scioto.

Where Culture and Community Converge

As the Scioto River makes its way through Downtown Columbus and the historic Franklinton neighborhood, the Peninsula continues its evolution as one of central Ohio’s premiere destinations.

Downtown’s newest official district, a cohesive merging of green spaces, arts, and nightlife, offers fantastic dining experiences, beautiful waterfront and skyline views, a multitude of places to play and gather with friends inside and outside, and ultramodern lodging, perfect for staycationers and visitors alike.

The culturally rich Peninsula is the embodiment of the creative, entrepreneurial, and communal spirit of progress that’s underway in the epicenter of Ohio’s capital city.

A DAY ON

THE PENINSULA

Get your green on

Take in the prime skyline views with a morning walk or bike (or even a kayak) along the Scioto Mile and Genoa Park. Swing on a bench or run wild at Dorrian Green just outside COSI.
