We visited this park on a Friday, midday at the end of May. It was a rainy day, and we were looking…read morefor a place to eat a picnic lunch out of the rain. While the entire Cincinnati riverfront is gorgeous, we couldn't find a place that was covered where we could eat. As we were driving by we saw this park! Parking was $5 and the park was empty except for our party. The bridge provided covering from the rain and there were many picnic tables surrounding the park. The play structure is made out of trex building material and included LOTS of elements for our kids to play. Swing set, monkey bars, climbing rope, etc. the ground is squishy. There is a good amount of noise from the cars driving over the bridge overhead, but it was a sweet spot to eat lunch and let the kids work off some steam.

Such a fun surprise of a neighborhood park!…read more This park has a large three-section play set, a basketball court, sand volleyball court, and a full picnic area with seating and grills, so it's really easy to spend a long afternoon here. There's even a disc golf course and a cute bridge that makes it feel extra scenic. The paved trail is pretty hilly, which honestly made for a great workout walk, and it's also good for bikes if you don't mind a few climbs. The absolute highlight for me was the access to the beautiful creek running through the park. There are also nice little habitat areas that would be great for bird watching. Public bathrooms are available, though they weren't the cleanest when I visited. There was some trash around, but there are plenty of trash cans, so hopefully that improves with use. It's surrounded by townhouses but open to the public and feels welcoming. Overall a great local park for families, walks, casual sports, or just relaxing by the creek.

It's so awesome! The kids love it and even adults have fun!! I do have to say there isn't much for the real little kids. It's just got one little train with a small slide and for some reason my daughter just isn't into it. But by next spring she'll be big enough for some other things and she'll be more entertained. This place also has swings, trucks to dig in a sand pit and some big slides and things to climb.

On Sundays in the summer a musician plays the carillon bells in the tower for about an hour in the afternoon. Bring some blankets, lay in the sun, and watch the clouds while you listen to the carillon. Behind the playground is a ravine and a hiking trail. Take the stairs down to the old boat house. This seems to be a popular spot to take engagement pictures and senior pictures. From there follow the trail into the woods and along the creek. It's a great place to take your kids to learn about trees, bugs, and other outdoorsy things. The trail does not go very far before the creek makes a sharp left turn and it becomes difficult to go further. We wandered around for a while trying to find the continuation of the trail, but it seems that it ends at the bend in the creek. From there you backtrack to the park. This park is within walking distance of our house, so on our way home we pass through the Mariemont square and always get some ice cream from Graeters. A great way to end any afternoon. It can be hard to find this park, but Mariemont has put a sign pointing the way in the median on Wooster Pike.

This park is located in a super crowded area, but if you can get there (either by finding an…read moreelusive parking spot or going during off hours) it's a ton of fun! There is free parking along the trail and additional parking in a public lot across the street, but on a Saturday morning you will find both fill up. On a weekday, it's pretty easy to snag a spot and enjoy the park without crowds. This summer, a part of the park is currently under construction, where the new amphitheater is being built. But there is still a lot of the park open and much to do and explore! My family has enjoyed both picnics and takeout on the ample picnic table seating. Recently, my toddler has been loving the playground which features swings and two separate playground features catered to both younger and older kids. There were some porch- style swings just added, overlooking the river, which are lovely to swing on for adults and kids alike! Perhaps the best part of this park is the river access. There is a nice path with wide paving stones right to the river, which is clean and features a gravel beach and a large swath of shallow water. The water is shallow for quite a few feet so it is safe for little kids to wade in. Hang around and you might see a crawfish or blue heron, or find a fossil! There are also bathrooms, which have always been open and clean in my experience. There is so much to do and explore in the Loveland area, specifically along the little Miami scenic trail, and you don't want to miss this park!

A lot of cool restaurants and shops are here. Many cater to bicyclists. They offer discounts on food and stuff. It's the centerpiece of downtown Loveland. The bathrooms are pretty clean, and there's plenty of areas for pets. A lot of convenient things if you're on a bike. If you're in a car it's harder. There's parking lots but these get filled up especially on weekends.

What I once thought was a super small park is now a large area for soccer fields, a playground for the kids, a pond for fishing, a few baseball fields, and some trails around the park. It's a great place to walk and take your family to play! One of my favorite memories at this park was painting the mural on the building located in the center of the park. I partnered with artworks along with the fellow members of my community and volunteer to paint the sides of this building. What a blast! In fact, I am hooked. Any artworks project that excepts volunteers, I'm in! It was certainly a memory for my bucket list. I've never been disappointed with the cleanliness of the bathrooms there. Symmes Township workers do a fantastic job at keeping their parks clean. I can tell that family is a focus, and they are good at their job. I always feel valued when I am at a park in Symmes Township. Check out this park!! There is lots of space to play!

I took an almost one-year-old baby here today. It is only street parking, but there were plenty of spots. The park has many trees, so there were spots of shade for us to rest. Many kids were playing at the park! But we played in the sand and used one of the many baby swings! This park is so much fun for kids of all ages! I brought a baby that's walking with assistance, and she had a blast! Other kids seemed to love running around and then cooling off in the splash pad. Highly recommend going here with your kiddos to get out of the house!

There are also only two small slides which weren't easily accessible for her. They have a few toddler swings and a handicap accessible swing that she had fun trying!
