href="http://segwayofohio.com/">Segway Of Ohio</a> conducts 90-minute tours around Eden Park on their unique two-wheeled transportation devices.  Have fun tooling around the park while learning from an experienced guide.</p><p>Much appreciation should go to the city Park Board.</p><blockquote><p>Cincinnati Park Board Director Willie F. Carden Jr., whom I’ve noticed likes to innovate in order to make things better, gave Jenkins the go ahead to roam Segway-mounted through the city’s parks. He also provided a closet to put them in at Eden Park, with an electrical outlet to charge them. For free.</p><p
