The small dog park would make a decent sized Big Dog Park in most cities. There is a nice big picnic area right before you enter the dog park. There is a nice double-gated concrete entry area that seems to get flooded when it rains. Two different water facilities as well as multiple picnic tables all around and plenty of poop bag dispensers and trash cans. It looks like during the summer the bathrooms may actually be open. You park at the bottom of the hill and you have to make a little walk up the hill but as long as you don't have too much difficulty you should make it! It doesn't get steep until the very end. But there are plenty of parking places

Both sides had picnic tables, agility tunnel and ramps, and watering areas. The fences were nicely upkept so I (a protective dog mom) felt safe letting my mini dachshund off leash in the small dog area --also because today no other dogs were there. This is a nice park and quiet, tucked away from the road. My only complaint is ppl with their dogs off leash outside the kennels ‍ but I guess that is a problem anywhere.

Right across the way is the less busy one for those people who have dogs who are a bit anti social. There's water for the dogs and trash bags go pick up poop. My small complaint is the dog owners who go here. A lot of them let their dogs physically bite or swipe in a non playful ways and others do not pick up their dog's poop. Besides those two complaints I continue to bring my dog here because she loves running around and making friends.

Needless to say, the location of this park causes floods every now and then when the Little Miami rises but it's wonderful when it's open. The dog park is split into 4 locations. Two big/medium fields, one field for smaller dogs under 22lbs and across the street is a small fenced area if your dog is being unruly and needs a time out by themselves. For the most part people clean up after their dogs but we do usually come across some piles, unfortunately. That's the only reason I'm knocking this park a star. There are a few boxes with poop bags but they're widespread. It'd be nice to have more bag boxes. Each big field has a few benches and a water fountain. As you leave, you'll find one more water spicket to wash off with. Sometimes this park can get suuuuuper muddy. Pro tip: add yourself to the Otto Armleder Dog Park FB group to get updates from other dog parents about field conditions.

Yes, my fearful dog loves playing with the other dogs. He did not like water, but by watching the…read moreother dogs, he learned to swim. He now runs right into the pool as soon as we arrive. Most people are very conscientious about watching their pups. I haven't seen many squabbles. Be warned, there is one very large long haired German shepherd named Alpha, who constantly dominates and humps other dogs. His owner does not try to stop him. He likes to defecate in the pond and she does not try to stop him or scoop it out. If this dog is there, keep a close eye on your dog. There are 4 different areas where you can take your dog. If your dog is not getting along with another dog, you can move to one of the other areas which is convenient. This is a very nice place to take your dog on these terribly hot days for a cool dip. There is even a dog toy library with toys for dogs to play with.

The northern entrance is located off of Ferns. The baseball field is there. If you want a quiet park, this is a good choice. It's a neighborhood park so there isn't usually a lot of people there, just some residents playing with their kids. This park usually is safe.

I grew up right down the street from this park so I would often visit with my parents. My family were members of the swimming pool that used to be operated here but no longer exists. Now the park just looks empty, I didn't see a soul in it when I walked through the other day. There are basketball courts and several baseball courts. There is a pavilion you can walk around inside and a playground. It seems that the playground is currently closed as there was orange caution tape around the whole thing. It looked like the monkey bars had fallen down. Even with the lack of activities in the park, it still is beautiful and has great pathways for walking around on a nice day.

My daughter loved horses and I fell into that "horse lover" trap myself, so we bought horses for her and my wife and I. Then we accidentally found Mrs. Johnson's' property and were given permission by Mrs. Johnson to rent her barn and the entire property and additional stalls in the barn at Johnson Hills. We tried sub-leasing some stalls to other horse lovers for a short time but soon decided against it. (Some folks weren't "fit" to have horses. We considered them pets, others seemed to consider them as "slaves" or " just animals to treat (or mistreat) in any way they wanted.) But we have many fond memories of riding around the hills and in the woods that were plentiful and beautiful.

Johnson Hills is a well maintained park. The fields, including the frisbee golf course look as if…read morethey are mowed regularly. The frisbee golf couse was quite busy when we arrived. Covered shelters are free of trash. The parking lot is clean. The sidewalk leading to the covered structure with fire pit has cute animal tracks inbeded in it. The structure would be perfect for a party. (When people are allowed to gather again.) The surrounding areas are shaded as well. A port-o-potty is located near the parking lot. Discovering a butterfly garden was an exciting surprise. Many of the flowers were in bloom. Butterflies were infact attracted to the area. Several even landed on our legs. Some signage near the parking area directing to the trails would be much appreciated. (The park is in the process of being redesigned/upgraded so this may have been here previously, or be coming.) We thought a short paved trail might be it. We were about to leave when some fellow visitors yelled to us (they were practicing good social distancing,) if we could direct them to the nature trails. We informed them that this was our first visit, and that we had not found the trails on the side of the park we were on. They then said the trails must be on the other side. We followed them (at a safe distance,) to the other side of the park. (We did not think to walk through the field to get to the trails.) The easiest way to the trails seems to be through the field, that is past the parking lot and covered structure. Paved walkways are apparently coming to that side as well. There is a yellow, red and blue trail. The first trail we came across, just after the butterfly garden, was the blue trail. We decided to take it. Trails are easy to follow. The canopy is fairly dense. It offers much appreciated shade on a hot summer day. The rays of light cascading through the trees are rather beautiful. Trails are on the muddy side. There are various gradients along the route. There are also a lot of exposed roots. Young hikers may need help at times. During our hike we discovered several species of fungi, a few flowers, a creek, an Eagle Scout project, and even a geocache. There is quite a bit of stinging nettle along the trails. Thankfully, the plant is courteous enough to stay along the edges of the path. As long as you stay on the trail you should be fine. There is also Jewelweed growing amongst the stinging nettle. That will help with the stinging if you find yourself in need of relief. We will definitely come back to this park to experience the red and yellow trails.
