This is a beautiful green space on the edge of German village in Hamilton. We had walked downtown…read morefor dinner and on our way back we toured the whole space. The large sculpture/water pad was being enjoyed by many small children on a hot summer evening. There's a huge amount of green space, lots of different sculptural art pieces, places to sit, and great views of the river, as well as a pavilion for concerts. This is an amazing addition to any community, and the residents here are blessed to have it.

Highlight of this park is getting to enjoy drinks and carry out while letting kids just be kids. There are wide sidewalks around the entire green space, neat and tidy trash cans, street parking surrounding, or lot parking a few short blocks away. The trees they've planted aren't quite mature enough to offer too much shade yet, but in the future they will be awesome. There's a few picnic tables and things to sit at and eat, but you won't be guaranteed to snag one if it's busy. There's restrooms on the backside of the amphitheater.

I think this recreation center is absolutely fantastic but i have not experienced its entirety so I…read morewill only comment on the pool area. I love the pool for its size, width and how clean the deck and the water is so nice and blue! absolutely love swimming in it and the temperature of the water is always perfect. The chlorine level is tolerable while playing water polo. I'm only giving it 4 stars because given the fact i play water polo, I have to play in all deep water, and it is shallow on one end which is tough, and playing width all deep makes the pool too short. Thanks for reading, go hop in! ;)

If you are in Oxford, Ohio and looking for a Rec Center it probably doesn't matter what the Yelp!…read morereviews say. How many convenient options do you have? But as an occasional visitor let me say that this is a pretty nice one. Big swimming pool, lots of exercise machines, a track, etc.; the weight room equipment seemed quite dated, but well-maintained and thoughtfully laid out. I'm not sure what it's like when it's packed with students, but when visiting Oxford on a holiday weekend, it's a great place to work out. Also, if you are just visiting, it is trivially easy and convenient to buy a day pass ($9) or a 3-day pass ($20) from the helpful and chipper staff at the front desk. Now if only they were open on Thanksgiving or Black Friday . . .

First time canoeing. Family of 4 ( 2 adults & 2 kids)…read more 1 star: Friendly staff. 1star: Loading onto the boat was super easy and no issue. The river was maintained with nice spots to pull off for a rest. --1 star: the bathrooms at the front building were the dirtiest bathrooms I have ever experienced. Only 1 working toilet in the women's ( arrived at 9am) . --2 stars: unloading area at the end was not maintained. ( the staff member said what they had washed away in the spring) no where to pull your canoe to get off . Steep muddy hill to climb up. Someone in our group got hurt trying to get out when unloading . Young children were struggling to get up the steep hill.

Are you looking for fun and safe activity to do with friends or family while staying socially…read moredistanced from others? This is an awesome activity that checks all of the boxes! We visited Morgan's yesterday for the second time this summer. It's a great meeting spot for friends that live in Cincinnati and Indianapolis. Our first visit was on a Thursday and the second was on a Sunday. There was a big difference in the amount of people when going during the week versus the weekend. I would highly suggest a weekday visit if you would prefer less people. After a brief safety talk, you grab a life vest, paddle, and boat and you are off! We did kayaking on both of our visits, but saw a lot of people out on canoes and rafts. It is about a 7 mile trip and both times it took us about 3 hours doing a relaxing trip down the river with minimal paddling and a lot of floating. We packed a picnic lunch and pulled our kayaks out on a shady spot and ate lunch. This is not a technically different kayaking route. There are a few sections that are rocky, have some tiny rapids, or tree roots that you need to navigate, but all in all, it is a beginner level trip perfect for the novice and fun for all. The equipment is good, staff is friendly and knowledgeable. The price is also good for a budget activity ~$30 per person! Let's talk about COVID-19 precautions: Morgan's takes this seriously! They are by reservation only and have designated checkin times. For our weekend checkin when it was busy, a man greeted us when walked up and directed us to an empty table to fill out our group's waiver. Once done, we took to a table with one staff member to checkin. All of this was outside. During the week, this was done in the building, but we were the only group. There are social distance markers on the ground, limit to 3 people per the changing room/restroom, social distance on the bus to bring you back, and all staff wore masks. Thank you for keeping us safe!

Unlike Summit Park, they have shade areas for relief from the sun. One of my favorite features is that the entire park is surrounded by a security fence so that children can't get out without an adult. You will not be disappointed!

My daughter has been going to CGA now for a year. What I love most is this academy's owner coached…read moregirls who were part of the Olympics years ago. I also love how they have competition teams. The gym is huge and has tons of space. You can see all the girls working on different techniques (I.e. tumble, bars, balance beams, etc).The ages range from 2 year-olds to high school. I really enjoy watching my daughter do the activities and grow as the year has past. My only complaint is they do the same thing over and over for the entire year. It's the same obstacle courses and activities. I know for younger kids they have to do it over and over. However, I feel things can be different and they can incorporate different activities and not the same exact courses and plan every single week. My daughter started at 2 years old and went for 30 minutes one day a week, four times a month. We originally had her in twice a week but we were always missing one of the days so we took her out. She now goes for 45 minutes a session one day a week, four times a month. She is now 3 years old (about to turn 4), and they are doing the exact same thing they did in the first year. However, now 15 additional minutes are added on for them to jump on this long trampoline and do rolls. At times I feel my daughter gets bored and I notice her wondering off and not paying attention. I like CGA and feel they have potential but I don't like that for younger kids it doesn't seem like they do anything different and it's the same thing over and over. I'm getting bored watching them at times. I'm going to keep my daughter in gym and inquire when things will begin to progress. I certainly know it can be a good school as I've seen the mid and older girls do well. I've also talked to other parents who said there daughters have been going since they were young so I know it will pay off. It's just a slow start.
