I decided to hike the Gorge Trail, which was very do-able, and ambitiously hoped to even follow the trail around the lake. Oooooops... There is NO LAKE, for the moment, anyway, as they've emptied it for maintenance (!!) Wasn't able to hike around the (dry) lake, as I think that trail was closed, but no worries, I headed back on the Gorge Trail (took a zillion pictures along the way, it's GORGEous!!) and made it back just in time to attend the Hispanic Festival taking place right outside the visitor's center. Looks like there's LOTS of community activities offered here, and it's a GREAT area resource!! Beautiful scenery, some waterfalls apparently, once the rain returns, picnic areas and multiple fun playgrounds for the kiddies, nicely marked trails, TONS of community events, and so much more!! Don't miss it if you're in the area!!

My best friend and her toddler were in town recently, visiting from Boston. We needed an easy…read moreplace to meet where her son could run around and get some energy out. We chose Bicentennial Park because of the proximity to their Airbnb. It turned out to be a great choice as the playground was really cute and in great shape, and the whole play area is fenced in. The parking lot and playground were both clean and we felt good about having our kids there. I highly recommend the spot if you are looking for a place to let kids get some energy out. Some of the playground equipment was unusually tall for a playground, so keep that in mind and know that you might need to run around after your kids should you decide to visit.

It has many facilities for athletics. It has something like two baseball fields, a basketball court, and tennis courts. The centerpiece of the park is Terwilliger's Lodge. It's popular to rent for private events. The lodge is usually booked on weekends. In the middle of the week, the park is a lot quieter, so you can enjoy some of the natural features. There's a stream and a few trails. It seems to be the best park in Montgomery for athletics. It has ample room for pickup games. The bathrooms are located near the lodge on the east side.

It was an early June Saturday afternoon in 2020. It was hot outside. My daughter drove down to…read moreCincinnati from Dayton with her 2 children for a visit. She was wanting to find a local park with a water play area where we could cool off on this hot day. On the internet this park was the only one reporting a functioning water play area. We arrived wearing our swim suits only to be very disappointed. The water play zone is the first thing that you see when you pull in and park and the water wasn't turned on! We decided to stay for a while to let the grandchildren enjoy playing outside on the large jungle jim. It has several places for climbing with curving stone like steps, a wall and a rope spider web. There is a long wide ramp making it very handicap friendly. My 18 month old granddaughter who wasn't walking yet spent a lot of time climbing up the stairs. There are several slides of various sizes and colorful interactive displays with parts that spin and turn in addition to the always fun monkey bars and swings. Off to the right of the jungle jim is a small shelter with 2 picnic tables. Today it was being used by a family having a child's birthday party. There's a shaded bench to sit on and watch the children as they run & play in the water that would be raining down from above and shooting up from below had it turned on that day. After about 20 minutes or so we decided to leave because it was so hot out and my grandson was being disagreeable. We drove to a nice air conditioned restaurant after my son-in-law arrived having driven down to Cincinnati upon getting off of work in the ER. Until next time stay healthy & be kind to each other. #clippardpark #waterworks @yelpcincy #cincinnati #familyfun

This is a good gathering spot. Although it's in a suburb, it doesn't feel like it. It has several miles of trails that are mostly quiet. The only exception is when there's a concert at the amphitheater, but it's usually something like jazz and not ear shattering. Chances are you will have the trails mostly to yourself if there isn't a concert. The trails are covered in gravel, which helps keep your shoes from getting muddy. It has a few public bathrooms. These aren't the cleanest but they are kept up. If you don't know where it is, you may pass it a few times before noticing it. It's located along Cooper Road. The entrance is next to the police station.
