I had always heard about this park being near my house, but it wasn't until recently that I finally had the chance to explore it. And boy, was I impressed! The park is conveniently located near a local school complex, but don't let the traffic during the morning and afternoon rush hour deter you - there are multiple parking lots with plenty of space. Once I stepped out of my car, I was immediately greeted by a plethora of activities to choose from. There are walking trails that snake through the park, offering beautiful views of the surrounding scenery. There are also numerous scenic spots where you can stop and take in the natural beauty of the park. The wildflower garden is a particularly beautiful spot that is a must-see. If you're looking for something more active, the park has got you covered. There's an outdoor theater for live performances, a basketball court, a baseball field, and even a children's playground. And if you're looking to just relax and enjoy a nice picnic, there are plenty of picnic shelters and benches scattered throughout the park. The walking trail itself is paved and very well-maintained, providing a comfortable and enjoyable experience. Walking along the trail also offers the opportunity to observe the park as a whole and see everything it has to offer. Despite the park's popularity among the local population, there is always plenty of space to enjoy the various activities. Overall, I was thoroughly impressed with this park and its offerings. It's definitely worth a visit, whether you're looking for an active day outdoors or just a peaceful picnic with friends and family. I can't wait to come back for more of its goodness!

We had a great time. The shelter was clean and had electricity. I brought 2 standing fans and the wife had crock pots. We will rent again. Thanks.

The kids loved the playground here. It's so big and there are multiple playground areas. It has a Zipline, many slides, and a lot of great features for kids. The main playground has a synthetic turf base so no mud/wood splinters to worry about.

Google provides separate listings for the park and township parks department. The following review is essentially the same as that of the park pictured.

Excellent playground, with a multi tiered structure with a western fort theme. The grounds include ball fields, a second sand based playground, concession stand, and an in-ground amphitheater with a stage and projection screen. I wish there were more parks in Cincinnati that took this level of care in the design of the playground. This is an absolutely wonderful park with only two serious drawbacks. First, the restrooms near the fort playground are old, smelly, in need of repair and replacement, poorly maintained, and disgusting. There is another set of restrooms further away that we did not visit. Second, there was a strong smell of garbage or carrion that permeated the entire park. We weren't sure if something died nearby, if a dumpster was open and overflowing, or if the smell was coming from the local Rumpke waste facility. It made playing a little uncomfortable, but it made eating difficult. Otherwise, this is a great park. We plan to return in the hopes that the smell wasn't a long lasting issue.

Great family escape with loads of trails, shelters, and at least 4 playgrounds. Also has a full size basketball court, shores shoe pits, charcoal grills, and plenty of parking. I would imagine later in the summer it may be packed, but it's been a positive vibes / get out of the house destination so far this year!
