We went last night for the grand opening of the new P&G MLB Urban Youth Academy, sponsored by the…read moreCincinnati Reds. Seeing as we were attending an event my review may not reflect the regular day to day operations. Another Yelper commented on the poor shape of the fields. This is no longer the case. All 4 of the fields are beautiful. Some are synthetic turf and others are the traditional dirt and grass. All around the park are fun, baseball themed signs. This park looks much more professional than most youth sports parks/ complexes. I am not sure if people are allowed to drop by and use the fields, or if they are exclusively for members. Towards the park entrance is a nice sized playground and basketball courts. Weather permitting, it would be easy to keep one child entertained while another is taking classes. Well shaded, this park would be nice to stop by even if one didn't have a reason to visit the Youth Academy. There is now an indoor training facility, complete with a field and batting cages. Several meeting rooms may also be found on the ground floor. Since everything was new it all looked great. It looks as if they are starting things slow. The brochure that was being handed out only listed classes for ages 9-18. Supposedly, the facility is for ages 5-18, but nothing is listed for ages 5-8. They may be waiting to see how things go, then add classes for the younger kids. They offer both baseball and softball instruction. From what I can tell, the only way to sign kids up to to go to the facility itself. The grand opening event included free food, games, music, & fireworks. It was a nice even for the kids. My children had lots of fun. They loved getting to bat both indoors and outside. It looked like the organizers were using this even as an opportunity to clear out t-shirts from past events. My kids each came home with several shirts; dates on the shirts ranged from 2012-2014. In the minds of my children, free shirts with the Reds logo, score! My kids didn't care, and were very excited to get them.

This park is the home of the CRC summer baseball league. The fields are in terrible condition and…read morehave been acknowledged by athletes by saying "Welcome to Roselawn." Somehow, two high school teams call these fields home. Perhaps the best part of the park, the playspace/jungle gym, has been removed. The parking lot is a common meeting location for drug dealers. The lights go out promptly at 11:45pm, which makes for an adrenaline filled stroll back to the car in the parking lot hoping a killer is not lurking from behind a nearby tree. There have been several reported shootings over the past few years, making everyone leary of entering the park, especially at night. Frequently people will come in and let their pit bulls rome free. Sometimes, however, some of the locals will sit down and watch a game and cheer for one team or the other. On a typical game night during the week, parking spaces are a premium, leading to people parking in the grass or making up their own spots on the roadway. All this being said, the park makes for a good atmosphere for a summer baseball game. If you're looking for a place to catch a decent baseball game with a chance of not making it home again, this may be the place for you. Although, in the seven years I've been playing at this park, I have not had a problem. Just be aware of your surroundings and enter at your own risk

The park had a paved walkway by the river with playground and picnic spaces as well as some kind of hut that could be booked for a party. There were some decent views to what looked like pastoral land across the river. The river itself was not particularly clean. The park also houses a more rustic trail which goes down by the riverside and through some woodsy areas filled with birdsong. The river isn't great, but the park as a whole has plenty to offer.

This is my favorite type of park - a hidden gem of true nature among the warehouses and blight of industrialism. If you have the Merlin bird app, keep it listening here. I always get at least 15+ different birds in my loop around the ponds. In the trees you can see hundreds of birds nests, they look like little apartments. You can often find people out here with giant lenses hoping to catch a glimpse. The walking loop is a perfect distance for me. It's about 2.1 miles and if you take the optional traces you can make it even longer. My dog is not really into walking that far, but too bad for him. Also got my first mosquito bite of 2026 here! Be warned that when it rains, the beginning path at the Gilmore entrance can flood and come up through the holes, so watch your step. One of my favorite places in this part of Ohio, and I'll miss it dearly! Big gratitude to the people who keep this a wonderful place to experience nature. PS - Dogs are supposed to be on leash here.

We headed left onto the boardwalk from the small parking lot and headed through a wooded area before we found ourselves walking alongside the ponds. The way the woods and boardwalk are situated, it seems likely they are seasonal wetlands, but on the cold crisp day of our visit, the ponds were the first water we spotted. We headed back to check out the bird blind, which is nicely constructed and features some helpful signage. Unfortunately, someone had left poop inside of the structure. Other than that unpleasant surprise, the area was very nice and a good place to visit.

The fairways have been redone & are beautiful in most spots. There is a little burn out here and there. Tee boxes are beaten up a bit plus have too many broken tees all over. The big issue is pace of play. While I encourage all to get out and play golf, players need to keep proper pace. Sure- if you flub a shot... drop another & try again! But at some point you have to move on. The simple solution to this is to have a starter get out on the course to keep the flow. Really thats the only problem here.
