Even on a crowded day there would be enough covered areas for everyone visiting. A nice touch is the covered picnic tables right near the play structures. This is particularly welcomed when visiting with young kids. Several play structures for different ages. There are also swings, a soccer field, hiking trail, and basketball court. The basketball court area is on an island surrounded by parking. Bathrooms were surprisingly clean. Bathrooms at parks aren't usually this clean. The park itself is really clean. All in all, this is a pleasant community park.

When I'm into Pokemon go, I drive around in circles spinning poke-stops and doing gym battles. That is when I would go most often. There are nice trails to walk. For the kiddos, there are multiple playgrounds, a basketball card, baseball fields, and shelters you can rent for parties. The best part of this park though is the creek. We have fun in the creek when it's warm. My kids love catching crawdads when it's warm out. I loved it as a kid too. I still have fun, especially watching them and how happy they are. Pictures will always be great memories. The only bad thing about this park, is that they took out the dog park! The dog park was so nice. There was a section for small dogs, and a section for large dogs. My dog had fun and so did I. I loved getting to play with everyone else's dogs. It was also great that it was so close to the Kenton county animal shelter. I hope they bring it back someday.

I photographer was also crouched down in the water. He taking pictures of the geese with their goslings. There were quite a few birds at this park. We also saw finches, and black birds with bright orange wings. The trails are paved. There is a layer of fine sand that covers much of the trail on the side across from parking. The trail is pretty level on the parking side. There is a playground, but we did not venture over to it. There once was a dog park here. A sign indicates that the park was closed "due to reoccuring damage." The sign also states that they are looking for an alternate location for the Paw Park. Rigt now thw area is a giant field. Dogs must be on a leash at this park. Many people were there with their dogs, including us. When passing eachother, people were using good doggie etiquette. People were picking up after their dogs as well. I took away a star due to the amount of trash. There were a couple of used diapers, cups, many cigarette butts and feminine hygiene products. These were more on the parking side, and many were near the water. Across the river was much cleaner.

I'm surprised no toddlers have fallen over the side and gotten hurt yet. The fields always look waterlogged, even after only light rain. This is such a shame because I remember it being such a great park for toddlers and school aged kids alike when my oldest kids were little. There used to be a ton of big shade trees, which made it a great spot for picnic or relaxing while the kids played. Now there is Astroturf under the play area, and it gets really hot in the summertime. We used to come weekly. Now maybe once or twice per year with my youngest (a toddler). Such a loss.

There's not a lot going on with this park except for a very short walking trail. I think it's more like an unregistered dog walking trail/park since I saw dogs and their owners staying for a very short time to do their business. The bridge was close too, I hope they will plant more trees and vegetation to attest to its name- Florence Nature Park.

I am in love with Lincoln Ridge Park. Between the gravel trails that wander the park and the disc…read moregolf course, I hit lincoln ridge at least once a week. There are two shelter areas that are in good shape and restroom structures which is always nice over a port-o-let. The playground looks fun, but since I don't have kids, I will leave that to someone else. There are ballfields and large open spaces of grass. The trail that wanders in the woods has good traction, is wide and well maintained. It has some seriously steep inclines and hills but isn't overwhelming. It's not super long, but good for a walk with the dog or a family looking for some outdoors. There is a gorgeous creek bed that runs thru the area giving a nature photographer plenty to shoot. The disc golf course is nationally recognized and is well maintained as well. There are 24 holes to play. Many of the holes are long and challenging with ravines and trees and narrow fairways. This is a course for the skilled and novice alike. I would say the novice should stay on the front 9 but there are plenty of holes after 16 or so that are playable for the novice as well. Overall, this is a versatile and well maintained park that I encourage anyone to visit at least once.

I have to preface my review: you have to live in The COV to enjoy this, or have a friend who has a…read moreguest pass. This has become a favorite for our young children in our home-city of COV. The first couple years we lived here, we had no idea this existed - it's tucked in the heart of the Bill Cappel Youth Sports Complex. (Website, here: http://www.covingtonky.gov/visitors/parks/bill-cappel-youth-sports-complex) The "zero depth" is a great feature for kids who haven't learned to swim yet, and this place is usually filled with kids. There are limited "tanning chairs" available for adults...seems like adding a few more of those would be nice. Make sure you get your pass before you come! You can get them on opening week (Memorial Day) and then afterwards at the city building. In past years, there has been some shut downs of the park due to piping and breakage...you'll notice that the water will turn off every 20 minutes for about 5 seconds...I think this is an effort to release pressure from the pipes and reduce breaking. Lots of fun, we'll be at the spray park a lot this summer!

I visited this place based on my Roadside America App (great app for finding weird and unusual…read morestuff on and off the beaten path). It is beautiful and we enjoyed the visit of the things on the property as well as the view of Cincinnati from the property. Upon posting my photos on Facebook in an album dedicated to the places I visit based on the app, I was reported to Facebook and my photos removed. The only thing I can think is they didn't like my skepticism of their claim that angels showed up at night and built the big cross. I was skeptical also of stones claiming to have come from The Good Samaritan Inn. But with further research I realized this could be true. If they had contacted me to discuss the issues rather than having facebook remove an entire post I spent half an hour working on and tagging, I'd have given them five stars. I did ask if it was "earth angels". That I would have believed. So, Five for the garden itself. One for the folks running the Facebook page. As the Roadside App says, it is worth a stop. Just post only positives or you could go to Facebook jail.
