What parents say
"This park is awesome. So much to do on the playground for all ages. There’s a castle with slides and hiding places, large astroturf wobble board-like structures, a sandbox, and so much more. The vibes are good — friendly parents and kids, very diverse families and very clean!"

"It's soooo beautiful and when the winter comes and they put the lights up it's just amazing. I also enjoy the party deck in the park and the events that goes on as well."

"Easy place to park within proximity to the Cincinnati Music Hall and with access to the trams that go to the riverside. The restrooms are tucked away in the children’s part of the park. It’s an open field with shade at the corners and benches throughout. Fortunately, it was well maintained and did not have any encampments which is typical in other cities. Safe and scenic."
