Hopewell Meadows Park is a 14-acre park in Symmes Township, although it is very close to the…read moreMontgomery and Indian Hill areas. Hopewell Meadows was dedicated in 2001, although plans for the park had been in the works for several years prior. The product, however, was well worth the wait as it is a very nice park. Hopewell Meadows Park features two picnic shelters available on a first-come first-served basis. The main shelter can accommodate about 68 people and is on some prime "real estate," located between the restrooms and the large playground area. The smaller shelter, located on the park's East side near part of the walking trail and many trees, maxes out at around 28 people. I've played on Hopewell's tennis courts a couple of times and in addition to being somewhat new courts, the back fences between the two courts are angled to keep your tennis balls from rolling onto the other court. The basketball court also is nice (minus those darn double rims) and not one of those blacktop courts like at some of the other parks. Additionally, there is a large walking path that is somewhat scenic, the park has a small baseball field, and even the bathrooms are nice for park standards (the lights turn on when you open the door, pretty cool...I'm easily pleased). On the whole, the Hopewell Meadows Park is a somewhat small, yet great park and it's an excellent place to play some basketball or tennis, or to take your little kids to play on the playground. And unlike some parks, you can bring your bike/skateboard/roller blades/scooter through, as long you do so in a "safe manner."

Nice and clean park. The park was rededicated in 1997, and the name was changed from Forest Park to…read moreVeteran's Park. Near the front of the park is a flag and monument with a replica of the Liberty Bell. The trail is a 0.4 mile "Jogging Trail." The path is wide, and covered in gravel. The width allows it to accommodate walkers and runners. The trail also doubles (or is it triples?) as a StoryWalk location, and a parcours trail. Pages from a children's book are posted along the trail; 19 pages were poated in all. Our first lap consisted of a leisurely stroll to reading the book. Subsequent laps had us picking up the pace. All of the parcours equipment looks to be well maintained. Playground has a little bit for every. (Under 12 that is.) This is both in age and ability. The playground includes a handicap swing, wheelchair ramp for the climbing structure, and a raised sand table that can accommodate wheelchairs. There is a playhouse and climbing fake logs with a woodland feel. We arrived at the park early, and had the playground to ourselves until about 10:30am. Along with the trail and playground, the park also boasts soccer fields, a baseball field, basketball court, picnic shelters with bbq and a fire pit. The fire pit may only be used by appointment only. As long as it is deemed safe weather, the Anderson Township park system will try and leave a bathroom unlocked.

This might be one of my favorite hidden gems in Anderson…read more This park is always empty! It amazes me that there's never more than a few walkers on the trail. If you're looking for a quiet place to read or take the kiddos, I recommend any week day morning. The walking trail/path is always clean and clear of debris. It is a quarter mile loop. The playground is one of the best. This tops Ault and Beech Acres and has better aspects than Juliffs. I love bringing my little here! There's a very large shelter by the playground, perfect for parties. It's huge! There's also a couple baseball diamonds so this park must get busy at some point! The only downfall is the name. I think often times it gets confused for the big helicopter park named Veterans Park. This is totally different, in the heart of Anderson. I recommend this park for a quiet getaway!

Lunken Airport Playfield is an exceptionally well‑maintained recreational area that offers a wide range of outdoor opportunities for visitors of all ages. The expansive fields provide ample space for sports, picnics, and group activities, while the paved trails are ideal for walking, running, and cycling. The proximity to Lunken Airport adds a unique element, as the occasional passing aircraft creates an engaging backdrop without disrupting the park's overall sense of calm. The grounds are consistently clean, the facilities are in good condition, and the layout makes it easy to navigate whether you are there for exercise or simply to enjoy the scenery. Its combination of open space, accessibility, and thoughtful upkeep makes Lunken Airport Playfield a reliable and enjoyable destination for regular outdoor recreation.

This is a very nice playground but as a mom of a 3 year old, it sort of stresses me out. The space…read moreis very big and open within a gated area which provides several different jungle gyms for all ages. It sounds like a wonderful idea for older kids that can handle all heights, twists and turns. But for the younger kids, it's stressful. Why? Because what toddler doesn't want to climb 15 feet high on the smallest width ladder at the playground? Yes, there's smaller gyms for the toddlers up front but I always see the young ones running for the huge gym which just stresses me out. I'd honestly skip this park if you're with your 1-4 year old. For older kids, this looks like the real deal. It's clean, there's a big covered picnic area, swings galore. I believe you do have to pay sometimes but I really don't know. Each time I've been, the gate has been open and we walked right in. Other times, I believe they close the gate and you have to pay at the building. Highly recommend calling ahead of time or looking online. Clean, safe, fun overall!

A nice little oasis within the city, lots packed into this park: trails, disc golf, an arboretum, a…read morepond, playgrounds, the treehouse, and picnic spots. The treehouse was pretty cool to see and near the treehouse was where we started our hike. Plenty of ups and downs on the trail that we went on. I'm not sure if I struggle at following the trail signs, but went the wrong way a couple times and think that the trail that we were trying to follow had multiple names. All was fine though, got to do a bit more exploring. The creek is pretty dried up. I would have liked more signage for hiking trailheads at the entrance of the park, so head to the left (as if you're going to the treehouse) at the entrance if you want to hike. Disc golf looks like it'd be really good here, I hope to come back and try it out.

On Sundays in the summer a musician plays the carillon bells in the tower for about an hour in the afternoon. Bring some blankets, lay in the sun, and watch the clouds while you listen to the carillon. Behind the playground is a ravine and a hiking trail. Take the stairs down to the old boat house. This seems to be a popular spot to take engagement pictures and senior pictures. From there follow the trail into the woods and along the creek. It's a great place to take your kids to learn about trees, bugs, and other outdoorsy things. The trail does not go very far before the creek makes a sharp left turn and it becomes difficult to go further. We wandered around for a while trying to find the continuation of the trail, but it seems that it ends at the bend in the creek. From there you backtrack to the park. This park is within walking distance of our house, so on our way home we pass through the Mariemont square and always get some ice cream from Graeters. A great way to end any afternoon. It can be hard to find this park, but Mariemont has put a sign pointing the way in the median on Wooster Pike.
