    I remember the park before it was this park and it still blows my mind what it looks like now. It's an awesome park with plenty of green space, kids in the jungle gym area, dogs in the dog park, and grownups on the Porch with a beverage. There are fun events, plenty of trees to picnic under, and honestly, if you give this park three stars, I don't know what you're comparing it to. My favorite park in Cincinnati far and away.

    Love the Nutcracker story coming to life in Washington Park for the winter season. It's totally interactive and really well done. The weather has been just nice enough to make this a really nice destination for the whole family.

    I inadvertently checked into Washington Park Apartments, but that won't keep me from reviewing this beautiful downtown Cincinnati park. Washington Park is right on the Connector line, which makes it convenient to get to. It's also in close proximity to Music Hall, Memorial Hall, plenty of restaurants as well as the Vine Street OTR district. A parking garage below Washington Park (yes you can park under the Park) puts all these things in easy reach. Events are scheduled at the park year round. Add to all of these positives the beauty of the park itself. It's a shining beacon that helps draw people downtown. Love it!

    It's okay place if you live in the area parking is kind of hard to get but if you live in the area you can walk to it and there's a lot to do there

    Beautiful downtown park with free community events all the time. They have something going on every day of the week during the summer, from Jazz on Monday at The Porch, their bar with plenty of covered seating, to Workout on the Green on Wednesdays. Follow them on social media to keep up or just come out for a stroll!

    The splash pad area for kids

    A wonderful public space with nice walking pads, a big splash pad for the kids to play in, a industrial playground, music, and bar venue, and a dog park.

    What a great place to enjoy your day off! Sit and enjoy the weather; bring your kids to play in the water fountains; enjoy one of their many festivals or concerts; watch a movie after dark; grab a drink at the concession stand; reserve space for a wedding or party. Plus they have public bathrooms! Would return

    Washington Park is one of the bigger parks in Cincinnati. It's just north of downtown. Located in Over The Rhine. Close to Findlay Market. There's often something happening like a festival or a parade. It's not the prettiest in the city. It's still a lot better than it was several years ago. This place used to be overrun with homeless and it wasn't somewhere to bring a family and feel safe. Now it's much safer to wander around. There's all kinds of festivals throughout the year. City Flea is a monthly market. There's also lots to do in the areas around the park. It's close to Findlay Market. There's many restaurants and shops. It's pretty easy to find. It has a parking garage under it. There's also street level parking.

    This is a great park right in the middle of the Over the Rhine/Findlay Market area of Cincinnati. I have walked past or through it during every single visit to the city. It sits across the street from the music halls and one of the many theaters in town.The parks hosts monthly markets and hosted a large-scale interactive installation as part of Blink. There are relatively clean restrooms, and a bar in the park, as well as a playground and some places to sit and relax. A great addition to a great part of town!

    Two ladies enjoying bourbom and a cigar.

    My partner in crime sister from another mother and I attended bourbon and cigar event this summer. We didn't know what to expect. We were so happy that we made it down. We did many tasting and three of the demonstrations and pairings. There were too many samples, we could not even finish our punch card. We were in good company because we saw many people with tastings left on their card. The cost was well worth it. We also received a few gifts to take home The last event was the cigar and bourbon pairing. Oh man I felt like a grown woman. I thoroughly enjoyed this event. My only issue, there should have been more food booths to soak up a little of that bourbon.

    Smale Riverfront Park connects downtown Cincinnati to the Ohio River and the existing riverfront…read moreparks. A wonderful location to view the bustling activity along The Ohio River Trail, and a place to gather and celebrate as a community. The park boasts multiple water play features, giant swings, an interactive foot piano, an imaginative play area for kids, expansive pollinator gardens, and Carol Ann's Carousel. Several historical monuments can be found like the Black Brigade Monument and the recently dedicated Marian Spencer Statue. I was on a roadtrip and my family dropped me off in downtown Cincinnati and I gravitated to Smale Riverfront Park because I wanted a place to explore nature and see river views. I explored the scenic walkways along the Ohio, flower gardens, fountains, public art, picnic spots, and plenty of space to just chill. One of my favorite features were the riverfront swings, big, bench-style swings tucked along the water that are perfect for kicking back and enjoying the view. They're surprisingly comfortable and such a great spot to unwind and reconnect with your inner child. The park has amazing views of the Roebling Suspension Bridge and Ohio River are worth the visit on their own, the paths are wide and great for families, and there's lots to explore without feeling overcrowded. There are splash zones for kids, places to sit and picnic, and tons of photo ops.

    This was our first thing we decided to do when we got into town. Parking was not easy and we just…read moreended up in the lot paying a crazy amount of money but the views alone were worth it. Plus it was a nice little park. My son also enjoyed everything here like seriously did not want to leave. I loved the swings, just what a gorgeous place.
