Description
The Gallipolis City Park was the site of the first settlement in Gallia County, and is now host to many community events including the River Recreation Festival, Gallia County BBQ Festival and the Christmas Lights Display, Gallipolis in Lights. It has three Ohio Historical Site Markers placed around the park, picnic tables, and bench swings overlooking the Ohio River.
The park features several memorials including the Kerr Memorial Fountain that was donated by the family of Charles D. Kerr, who owned and operated a drugstore on Second Avenue and was 'in memory' of their son who drowned in the Ohio River; The Bandstand, which is the focal point of the Gallipolis City Park as a memorial to Gallia County Civil War Veterans; and the Spirit of the American Doughboy built in 1931 to honor veterans of World War I.
