There's plenty of things to do in this park, during my short run I saw 2 children's play area, tennis court, covered shelters and plenty of benches.

I have passed by it a number times, but today was the first opportunity to stop. Oakbrook is a small park that offers it's citizens various amenities. There is a playground, sand volleyball court, (net still intact,) lending library, green spaces and chalkboard. The play structure offers some high points. At the time of my visit, the lending library was a mix of young children's books and romance novels. If you are planning a visit, bring a book to donate. The grounds appeared to be well kept. Someone was there tending to them during the visit. A private parking lot is just before the chalkboard and lending library. Not a destination park, but perfect as a community park for residents.

So we went to Florence we visited about five different parks that day and this one was excellent it was right up there with more of the better ones that we went to.

It has a nice big playground it has a walking trail it's got baseball fields basketball courts it is neat and clean so you can't do much better than that great 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.

The area is beautiful and a great place for a walk. My 4 star rating is coming from a desire for a better map, the ones they have are ok but I had a little bit of trouble at times, and then for being let down on 2 things I promised my kids. The "children's garden" has definitely seen better days and is very lackluster in general. There's nothing to do inside of it and we were honestly just confused. The other thing was the butterfly garden, all of the bushes were gone on our visit. In general, these things aren't a big deal but considering I had 4 small kids with me, these were 2 things advertised that we were looking forward to.

There's plenty of parking - regardless if you're there for a baseball game or for a nice walk. We brought our dog with us, and ended up doing the entire loop in just under an hour. We'd initially pulled up this trail in the AllTrails app, and it told us this was 1.1 miles ... we're not so sure that's accurate, since it felt like we were walking for much longer than that. Next time, we'll make sure to measure how far we've gone. Either way - what a gorgeous way to start your day! The plants and trees are all labeled, and sorted into various collections. The Magnolia Collection was by far our favorite, although that's about as far back into the loop as you can get. The trail itself is well-maintained, and wasn't too busy at all on a Saturday morning around 9 a.m. There was a good age range among the folks walking ... it was nice to everyone from families to elderly couples out for a morning stroll. We'll definitely return to this paved trail - it's especially convenient after a big rain, when you don't want to hike through the mud!

This park's clever name originates with the fact that it is in the center of Boone County. With loads of sports recreation and an amazing arboretum, Central Park is one of the best parks in Northern Kentucky. With six lighted softball/baseball fields, six soccer fields, four lighted tennis courts, basketballs courts, and a 2.5 mile scenic walking/biking path, Central Park is always filled with athletes and nature lovers in the spring and summer. Luckily, during games the concession stand is open, which is located near the main entrance. The park has two reservable picnic shelters, which can accommodate small and large crowds. I've attend parties as small as ten people to company picnics with over sixty guests, and there was ample space. Clean public restrooms are located near the entrance; otherwise, port-o-potties are scattered throughout the park.
