    Went looking for sunflowers. I had heard that there was a field of sunflowers across from the park. Turns out they planted soybeans this year the field is across from the part of the park that has the veteran memorials and the Bell. But the park had couple of playgrounds for the kids that were super nice one even had shading over the kids. Has a small Lake that requires a fishing license to fish. There were trees and flowers and benches. Lot of people playing with their kids or walking their dog. It was a nice little Park

    What a treasure we have! Summer camps for kids that don't break the budget. Thank you camp staffers. This year was kitchen concoction and spy and both were a hit. Music in the park. How relaxing to bring out chairs and a snack and chill with great music by the KY Orchestra. Thank you!

    Had a blast with the little one. The entrance was a little confusing at first. It's a good length of road to actually get over to the play set. You have to make your way around the softball field and lake to get over here. The parking is free and a short walk to the play ground. There are 2 separate playgrounds. One is for 2-5 and the other is for 5-12. My 4 year old (premature and developmentally delayed) was able to most of everything besides some rockwalls that are a little bit taller. It's relatively in a quite area but still plenty of kids to play with.

    Sunflowers!

    If you've ever wondered what the perfect park for an extended family with small children and elderly folk looks like, this is it! Cottell Park was designed for the family in mind; situated in Deerfield Township where there is no shortage of nice suburban families, there is a huge playground, a lake, tennis courts, a nice walking path, large green fields, and picnic areas. It's well maintained and very well manicured and along the walking path around the lake are little games that ask your child to use his/her brain a little, which can be a nice change for parents. Since I do not have kids however, I find that this park can be overrun with short people, especially around the 5~8 time frame on weekdays. Literally overrun. Do beware though, the grasses here have tons of fleas which love four legged creatures. Mine loves grass and he's rolled around in Sharon Woods plenty of times with no fleas. Not sure what's up with that!! The best part of Cottell Park is, while they have tons of family friendly events and outdoor movies during the summer, right across the street is a patch of land (about the size of the park) that Natorps uses to plant sunflowers. During the summer and towards the end of summer, the entire field is a small orchard on one side and the rest is sunflowers. It's an amazing picture opportunity, and there are plenty of suburbanites that flock to the field for those pictures!

    Sunflowers late July early August

    If you are basic like me and you want to get an Instagram photo in a field of sunflowers, this is your best bet in the Cincinnati area. Totally free, the flowers bloom July-August. I was here August 4th at 8am to get the photo below. There were other people in the field taking photos of their kids, but you can go to the back to avoid the crowds. If you're a professional photographer, I recommend getting here before 8am to avoid the crowds.

    Took girls to see the field of sunflowers that were blooming across the street from park, which was fun and made for beautiful pics. Stayed to play on swings, playground which was shaded and played with the water mister which they girls loved to cool themselves off with. The park also has shaded picnic tables, a pond with fish and ducks, and sports fields (soccer, etc).

    If you have a love for sunflowers this is the place to go to

    Beautiful park, play structures for every age, tons of seating, and intelligently designed. One of our favorites in the area.

    All around the park is a nice paved walking trail, which winds its way around a pond.

    We recently visited for the first time over the Memorial Day weekend and were pleasantly surprised…read more We only hiked the Cascade Trail so that is what my review will be on. The park website and things online are very confusing. One site says, permit not required and another say one isn't. The sign at the park also says permit required, but there is no where to purchase one in person or online. We took the chance and parked without one. I did see a worker driving around and he didn't seem to be checking cars. The map seems okay for general navigating and there is signage around. The trails are marked okay I think. There could be some improvement, but the Cascade Trail is a big loop so it isn't a huge deal. The trail was well maintained. A little overgrown in places, but nothing terrible. It's also really flat except for the end of the trail where you need to walk up a big hill to get back to where we parked. My kids did fine with the trial the whole time though. The bridge is super neat and my kids had fun crossing it. The falls were pretty and a nice treat, but you really have to wander around to find a good view of it. Luckily none of us minded that. The creek is really nice to play and walk in. That was by far my kids favorite part. We also found lots of fossils to explore and look at! It was a little muddy after all the rain we had received, but nothing terrible.

    My favorite 'hiking' spot in Butler County…read more My favorite part about this preserve are the trails. There are multiple trails that connect to each other, so if you get bored with hiking your usual trail, it's easy to mix it up a little bit. They are all well kept and maintained. Sometimes there is some litter, but we pick it up. There are two old building foundations on one of the trails and a piece of farm equipment grown into a tree, pretty neat! The park is big, lots of space.
