Located on a hilltop, the park offers scenic overlooks of Downtown Cincinnati, the Ohio River, and Northern Kentucky.
Echo Park opened in 1908 on land that was previously a dairy farm.
Echo Pavilion was designed and built by the Cincinnati architectural firm Rendigs, Panzer and Martin in 1928 as part of a city-wide planning initiative by the Cincinnati Park Board and George Kessler.

Built under the Works Progress Administration and designed by R. Carl Freund,[8] the shelter has design features influenced by Frank Lloyd Wright, the organic architectural style, and the WPA "rustic" style.
