It's tucked away so you don't have to worry about the street. There are many trails around here to explore and to go running. There is not swing set which is a bummer but I've heard they have plans to expand soon. There's a bridge with a creek running underneath which my kid loves to throw rocks into, so bonus activity. There are enclosed porta pottys which are not the nicest.

The playground is an interesting setup that I haven't seen before - rather than doing one large playground or even two split by age ranges, this one has multiple different elements spread out across the area, ranging from more typical swing options (traditional, baby, accessible, tire), seesaws, and slides to sand play options (the digging machines were cool) and more unique jungle gym set-ups - the one had a slide that didn't appear to have any sides to it and the other offered climbing opportunities but seemingly rather challenging with large holes and spaces in it. The whole area seemed quite popular as there was quite a crowd. There is a nice paved parking lot available, including EV charging spots.

Saying that, this place is SMALL and all the fields are very close together so balls fly around everywhere. Seating is hard and limited as well. They do have bleachers though. The fenced around the fields are pretty low so foul balls come out a lot. They have a field called Little Fenway, which is cute. Parking can be tight as well since there isn't a lot of it. The concession stand was affordable and they accepted Venmo. Overall a nice tournament weekend at this field.

I returned to one of my old stomping grounds on Monday, Dorothy and Richard Francis RecreAcres…read more When I used to play soccer, my games were either held at the Blue Ash Sports Center (see other review), or the Francis fields. Francis RecreAcres doesn't have tennis courts, basketball courts, baseball fields, or ponds like some of the other area parks. Instead, the Hamilton County Park District member has six soccer fields, six sand volleyball courts (not sure if people play on these much), a paved one-mile walking/jogging trail, a decent-size playground/area, and also a snack bar that's open during soccer games. One thing I noticed when I stopped by around lunch time was that there were many cars scattered around the parking lot. While a few people were out and about on the walking path, and some kids were riding their bikes and hanging with a babysitter, several of the people were sitting in their car perhaps eating or just relaxing during a lunch break from work. It's surely a nice place to relax and get away from the daily grind of work, but I bet it would be a bit better if you actually left your car. Overall, Francis RecreAcres is a good park considering the things it doesn't offer. The soccer fields are in great shape though and the play area is good too, plus they have benches and grills if you want to bring the fam over for a little picnic. It's in a pretty good location too, as it is just inside Sharonville near Stewart Elementary (Princeton City Schools) and less than a half-mile from Kemper Road.

The playground is great. Not one of the best we've been to and kind of far away from everything else. But, if you're visiting the SPCA next door, this is a great place to stop by for the kids to run around awhile. The playground has a large structure with (I think) 5 slides. The 2 year old had no problem doing almost everything there. If we're up in this part of Cincinnati again we'll be stopping by here again.
