This is apparently a fairly recent project, since we didn’t see it when we visited the city about fifteen years ago. There is a splendid view of and across the broad and placid Ohio river that goes on for quite a ways since the park is fairly long. There are numerous ornamental plants, large swing/benches facing the river, play equipment for children, bathrooms, picnic tables. The park is very clean and quite well-tended. We paid seven dollars for an hour and a half of parking across the street, but as others have mentioned there is free parking nearby if you have time to look for it (we didn’t).

Good trip. We arrived at approximately 5:30 pm and made our way towards the entrance of the park. There was a large parking lot in front of the park but it was quite expensive, so we decided to park at a parking lot across the bridge in Kentucky. The park was quite big and contained a ton of green space to roam around on. On the day that we went, there were plenty of vendors out and about, selling items from food to clothing. The park was right next to the Riverwalk and the Roebling Suspension Bridge. We were able to see sweeping views of both Cincinnati, Ohio and Covington, Kentucky, along with the Ohio River. Tip: I recommend spending 30 minutes here if you truly want to see everything.

Green space along the Ohio River offering nice views of the river and of the John A Roebling Suspension Bridge. The bridge was built in 1866 by John A Roebling who was the same architect of the Brooklyn Bridge which opened 20 years later. It was the longest suspension bridge in the world at the time of its opening. The park is flanked on each side by the Bengals stadium on one end and The Cincinnati Reds stadium on the other.

What a fun and scenic area to explore while visiting Cincinnati and the riverwalk. There are swings to enjoy, play areas to explore, a nice walkway along the river with a closeup view of the bridge, and even a light show at the fountain steps! A very creative and thoughtful design. We visited in the evening so parking was easy, no crowds, and just a nice place to be outside.
