It's amazing that I lived in Norwood for almost 2 years and didn't know that this hidden gem existed. Lindner Park at the McCullough Estate is a well-maintained little gem tucked away on the northern side of Norwood near Pleasant Ridge. When you are on Cypress you go through many beautiful old homes and this one almost dead ends (no outlet) on the left hand side. I felt like I found a secret treasure. There is a small paved parking lot down the driveway. The highlight of this park is it's historical structures: a huge stone swimming pool, bath house made of cypress logs, a foot bridge that looks like it came from a fairy tale, and others. Besides the wooded setting, A very nice, shady picnic area is located at the end of the driveway near the parking lot with fairly new tables, trash cans, and a working water fountain, a small formal garden, and lovely fish pond. The trails are fairly easy and the whole park can be explored in a couple of hours. There is a trail head to the woods beside a bench overlooking the gardens. I only hiked/walked one. What I loved about this spot, you pass by the remnants of some old structures on the property. The trail continues on a little ways before it dips down toward the creek. The trees are very unique. Looks like a jungle gym! I will definately return. It's beautiful and peaceful. From what I read from the site,The Norwood Historical Society holds meetings at the McCullough home and the Drake Planetarium hosts outdoor learning labs at the park for schools and groups. Another great historical site in Cincinnati! I'm lucky that I live only a couple miles away from it.

Smale Riverfront Park connects downtown Cincinnati to the Ohio River and the existing riverfront…read moreparks. A wonderful location to view the bustling activity along The Ohio River Trail, and a place to gather and celebrate as a community. The park boasts multiple water play features, giant swings, an interactive foot piano, an imaginative play area for kids, expansive pollinator gardens, and Carol Ann's Carousel. Several historical monuments can be found like the Black Brigade Monument and the recently dedicated Marian Spencer Statue. I was on a roadtrip and my family dropped me off in downtown Cincinnati and I gravitated to Smale Riverfront Park because I wanted a place to explore nature and see river views. I explored the scenic walkways along the Ohio, flower gardens, fountains, public art, picnic spots, and plenty of space to just chill. One of my favorite features were the riverfront swings, big, bench-style swings tucked along the water that are perfect for kicking back and enjoying the view. They're surprisingly comfortable and such a great spot to unwind and reconnect with your inner child. The park has amazing views of the Roebling Suspension Bridge and Ohio River are worth the visit on their own, the paths are wide and great for families, and there's lots to explore without feeling overcrowded. There are splash zones for kids, places to sit and picnic, and tons of photo ops.

This was our first thing we decided to do when we got into town. Parking was not easy and we just…read moreended up in the lot paying a crazy amount of money but the views alone were worth it. Plus it was a nice little park. My son also enjoyed everything here like seriously did not want to leave. I loved the swings, just what a gorgeous place.
