Veteran's Park has fields and courts for multiple sports, a gated playground, and a nature trail. The playground is geared for crawling to about age eight. Everything in the play area is well taken care of. My daughter has asked to "go climb on the big cheese," (a yellow climbing cube,) multiple times since we visited. There were lots of people with bikes or dogs headed for the nature trail. My children were having so much fun of the play structure that we didn't have time to check out the nature trail. I look forward to doing that next time. Parking in front of the park is for handicap and the elderly only. Parking for everybody else is down by the Police Station/ Administrative Complex. Veteran's Park is a nice solid park when you don't want something a big as the Hamilton County Parks.

There are kites in some of the trees, evidence of a popular theme day from what I can tell. The park is close to the road so easy to locate, has a definite urban park field, but is enjoyable. The loop around the park isn't that long so if you're looking for distance, best to try another location. However, if you don't mind a few circles, a walk is really enjoyable.

Playing lots of tennis growing up, I played in a lot of tournaments. One of my favorite clubs to go…read moreto--and not just because of its close location--was Queen City Racquet Club. It's really big, it's very nice, and they just run a great club. The club, which opened in 1971, is now known as the Queen City Racquet & Fitness Club as it added a large fitness center, which includes Nautilus machines, free weights, a cardio room, aerobics, and spinning. Queen City's 13 indoor courts is probably second to none in the area, while it's seven outdoor clay courts is great too. Both the indoor and outdoor courts are often home to many tournaments including national and top regional junior events. In 2003 they added Platform Tennis courts (see photos), which is for the Platform Tennis game that is apparently a mix between tennis and racquetball. Although I've never played, I know people who have, and they enjoyed it. Platform tennis is one of the amenities that sets this club apart from most in the area. Queen City has long had a strong tennis program for both juniors and adults. While many of the top juniors in the area now play at Harper's Point or Five Seasons, Queen City has a history of developing top players and continues to run quality programs (clinics, camps, league play, private instruction) for both juniors and adults. I've played in and watched my older brother in many tournaments at Queen City, and the only real criticism I have is the tinted windows that make it seem dark outside (which of course is an extremely minute detail). The 180,000 square foot club also has indoor courts for racquetball and squash, a gym for basketball and volleyball, and an outdoor heated Olympic size pool. Also inside around the main lobby is a great snack bar/café, rooms for ping pong and pool, and nice locker rooms too. Although there has been lots of competition from Harper's over the years, and recently Five Seasons too, the Queen City Racquet Club continues to run successfully and is a great place for tennis and a lot more.

Another interesting and unique place we have in Cincinnati that many don't know much about is the…read moreCincinnati Tennis Club. It has a great history and tradition, dating all the way back to 1880 (1899 at present location), and it was even added to the National Register of Historic Places a quarter century ago. While it has been years since President William Howard Taft played at the Cincinnati Tennis Club (I bet he didn't chase down too many shots), the club is still a high-end and prestigious club. The CTC has 10 outdoor clay courts and is open April through October. The club offers lessons, leagues, a tune-up tournament for the Cincinnati Met, and other tennis activities (and a pro shop) for all ages, and it once hosted the pro tournament now known as the Western & Southern Financial Group Masters, but the Cincinnati Tennis Club is mostly associated these days with hosting the USTA National Father-Son Clay Court Championships. It's a really big event that takes place each year, bringing some of the best father and son talent from around the country all the way to Cincinnati since 1974. While the CTC has a nice reputation in town, it seems that being a member at the club is a status symbol more than anything else. The membership dues aren't cheap, and if you really want to work on your tennis game and get to play year-round, while also having access to things like a fitness center, swimming pool, and more, you would be better off at a place like Harper's Point, Queen City, or Five Seasons. Sure, the club is really nice and boasts a great history, but it's more for the country club crowd than it is for families and the everyday competitive and recreational players.

The Lunken courts--all 16 of them: 8 hard and 8 clay--are in great condition, and they are lighted too, which is very cool and comes in handy if you are grinding it out in a long match or practice session. The tennis center also has a nice concession area inside with indoor restrooms and A/C, there is lots of spectator seating, and there is a nearby jogging/bicycle trail, miniature golf course, driving range, and play area too. The staff at Lunken is really great too, and the teaching staff is led by Brett DeCurtins, Lunken's Director of Tennis and a former standout player at UC. For only $150, you can become a member at Lunken and have access to unlimited play during the May-September months, seasonal permanent court time reservations, and it can get you entered into the Lunken Ladder League. There are other leagues, as well as camps and tournaments as well, providing for a ton of tennis opportunities for all ages. The tennis center is also home to five junior tournaments and seven adult tournaments between the months of June and September. The recently completed two-week Thomas E. Price Cincinnati Metropolitan is the most well known, as Lunken becomes the battleground for the top Cincinnati area men and women (mostly between ages 18 and 50) in singles, doubles, and mixed doubles. The other large event each year is the Cincinnati Area Qualifier, which is the biggest junior tournament in Greater Cincinnati (Boys and Girls 10, 12, 14, 16, and 18 and under age groups) and is the qualifier for the Ohio Valley District tournaments (which is a qualifier for the Midwest Sectional, and doing well at the Midwest can qualify you for nationals). As a competitive tennis player, I've always enjoyed playing at Lunken and some of my best memories are playing long matches into the evening under the lights. The facilities are great and the staff is excellent too, and it's an overall great place to play outdoor tennis during the summer months.
