    Always a great park with a very large kids playground that is partially shaded. I like that they have a small playground for babies and one for older kids as well.

    I absolutely love this park - it is huge, and the views are gorgeous (especially at sunset from the pavilion). There are a few different flower garden areas, and large areas of well managed grass. Perfect for walking around with family and friends, or taking a stroll on your own! It's very picturesque.

    Not going to lie, the first time I went to Ault Park, I was not impressed. Maybe because it was the very first park that I visited in Cincinnati and to me a park meant it should have a solid playground - of which I had not seen - and places to play sports. Since then I have frequented Ault Park and slowly but surely seen all it has to offer: - the pavilion has stellar sunrise/sunset views. It also hosts many weddings - beware on Saturday evenings. - there is a variety of flora and little garden. Be sure to stop by and see the cherry blossoms end of March/early April! - there are hiking trails to the left and right of the Northern entrance - wide space in the middle, great for picnics (but no dogs or sports!) - body weight exercise machines on a newer loop - playground for smaller children near the Southern entrance I've enjoyed hammocking in the forest and in some tree groves. I went sledding in the winter (not the best hills, but they do). I've watched a foggy sunrise or two that overlooked Otto Armleder memorial park. I watched the fireworks here on the fourth, along with a large chunk of the Cincinnati neighborhood. It's a wonderful park. It's just not a park to come play sports at. More a walking and relaxing park.

    After getting coffee in the area, a quick Google search for parks presented my husband and I with Ault Park. We ended up sitting here for about three hours l, just drinking our coffee under a pergola and enjoying the beautiful view of the river. Although we mostly stayed in our own little quiet corner of the park, we did walk around a bit and saw that there were trails and a playground available. There was also a spot where you could watch airplanes land and take off. Our kids weren't with us on this trip, but I know they would have loved it too.

    This was a park we visited and truly enjoyed. It is a lovely space with sweeping views of the city. We spent time at the pavilion where we went to the top of it, along with taking photos of everything below.

    It's a nice park, i came here just for the cherry blossom. It's beautiful, though some of it is dried out probably due to the recent code weather. The park seems very popular, people in their wedding dresses are coming here for photo, and kids are playing, there is also a Asian food sharing station today, which is quite interesting. It's a little far from home, but worth the drive.

    Decided to see this park for the first time on the 4th of July as they were setting up for festivities for the holiday. I was stunned by the gorgeous views! There's a great lookout spot down into the Miami River Valley, and plentiful trails that were used by runners, walkers, and bikers alike. Trails included both paved and wooded options (do be warned, it is a bit hilly). In addition, there are beautiful gardens with bright colorful flowers and plants. Everything was very clean, safe, and well-kept. Looks like they have a permanent pavillion perfect for hosting fancy events as well. This is no dount a great places for some exercise, family pictures, or relaxing on a nice day.

    I came here for a car show and volunteered with my friend who lived in Cincinnati at the time. We did get to see some old timer cars and true relics on the road. The park is the most idyllic place for a true classic car show. Beautiful vintage cars, a beautiful day and a lots of great landscaping in the background, can't beat that.

    What a blissful spot! We drove from Dayton to check out this park and we will definitely venture back. We first hiked a trail where the trailhead was in the parking lot. I saw a few other trailheads on the way in that we will check out in the future. Once you get into the woods it's hard to believe you are in the middle of a city area. It's so peaceful. My only complaint is that the trails were poorly marked so it was hard to know which way to go. Thankfully I had turned my gps map on so we were able to figure it out. Once we got out we walked up to the fountain area and walked to the top of that. There were some good views but even better, there was a water fountain that actually works and has clean cold water!! I would love to come back in the fall to see how pretty it is!

    Ault park popped up on my Instagram feed with the most gorgeous cherry blossoms! I have visited Cincinnati a few times previously but mostly stayed in the city and honestly did not know something like this was here! This was a great day trip drive from Indianapolis and totally worth it! The park was absolutely beautiful with both lots of paved roads and hiking trails to walk on. There were a few parking lots but had plenty of street parking. The 2 main areas with cherry blossom trees were just stunning and we really lucked out with the gorgeous spring weather. Although there were a lot of people visiting the day we went, it did not feel crowded at all and we were able to enjoy the outdoors with plenty of space. I can't wait to come back again in the future!

    Social distancing almost felt a little tougher this weekend when it seemed like everyone at Ault Park had the same idea. Be sure to keep safe distances, but one trick we found was that the trails seemed to be relatively quiet and totally worth it to escape the crowds while still experiencing nature. If you hike far enough back you'll run into the old railway bridge (no longer in operation). The bridge is gated off for safety purposes (though, we saw some individuals climb the fence to get a photo... it appeared a valiant attempt at winning a darwin award). The trails were well-maintained and the woods were serene. We even found a quiet spot to throw up a hammock and relax. I'll definitely be back soon to enjoy the park!

    Look close for the tinny chipmunk

    What a gem! If there was such a thing as a park complex, Ault Park would be it. It is as if there are parks within the park. There is a little something for everyone. The most unique feature is the garden area. Built a few short years before World War I. It's easy to imagine women in their large hats and dresses, and men in their three piece suits strolling around the gardens. Men tipping their hats as they pass another person. Today the area is filled with sounds of children playing. Flower beds, a gazebos, grand staircases, and well tailored greenery are frequently used as backdrops by photographers. On our visit there were three separate groups taking pictures. The area is paved which makes it easy for those with mobility issues. Hiking trails were what surprised me the most. I knew of the garden area, but I didn't realize how serious the trais are. Many of the trails branch off from, or intersect one another. Most of our time was spent on the Tree Trail, and on the Forest Loop Trail. ln the spring, those trails are flanked by lush foliage. We saw a halk soaring, a woodpecker pecking, a multitude of other birds, and a chipmunk that was smaller that the palm of my hand. A stream snakes it's way through various parts of the trails. Due to the thick canopy, the trails can be quite muddy. There were some parts of the Forest Loop Trail that were tricky (yet manageable,) with a younger hiker. Not recommended for those with mobility issues. All were in agreement that another trip is necessary to explore more of the trails. If all this wasn't enough, there is also a playground. While closed at the time of our visit due to COVID-19, the park looks to be a decent size. Bathrooms are located in the vicinity. (Not sure if they are open yet.) Ault Park is like three parks in one. A Park complex if you will. Levi A. Ault created this space as a gift to the people of Cincinnati. His gift and legacy continue to be enjoyed over 100 years after it's creation.

The hotel has a parking garage underneath for approximately 100 cars. Lots of columns though so it's a bit intimidating pulling into the space. Check in was friendly and fast. My suite was lovely with a couch and tv space separate from the bed and bathroom area. I slept well in the king bed and appreciated the firmer pillows. No issue with the room other than the sun warmed it up and I needed to dial down the temperature. Thankfully it had cooled off before I returned. Breakfast is not included at the hotel; however, directly across the street is a food hall. Restaurants are onsite as well. Throughout our sales meeting the staff took care of us - from meals, AV and meeting room set up. I'd certainly recommend a group consider this space for an event. Outdoor patios are available as well if a rooftop party is on your wish list. Common spaces were clean and well maintained, including the bathrooms and workout area. There's lots of seating for working and small group sessions. About 10 miles from downtown Cincinnati exits.

The hotel sits on top of a slight hill so the walk up-and-down the hill to the nearby Qwench juice bar was a bit of a task but it sits so pretty. I would definitely recommend staying here on your next trip to Cincinnati.

It's got a huge inside with long tables and a large bar, plenty of space for large groups. Outside is even bigger, with plenty of tables of all sizes for any group. We sat outside to hear the trivia better and enjoy the pleasant evening. You order your drinks at the bar and your food through a QR code on the table you're sitting at. This process was nice, as we didn't have to track anyone down or stare at a menu while trying to order with a line behind us. We got our beers from a friendly bartender, sat, and took our time scrolling through the menu. Our food came together, which was strange as we expected the wing appetizer to come first. The pizza was awesome! The cheese blend reminds me a lot of costcos. The wings were just okay. Maybe I am not a buffalo person, but overall they did not have much flavor. Next time we'll try something else. Prices can add up, but it is nothing crazy compared to places around town. If you want a nice evening with good drinks, good atmosphere, and good food, I'd recommend here.
