Beautifully clean kept park with nice walking paths. Easy-moderate hiking trails through the surrounding woods.

Never a bad day at this place. Calm and peaceful most of the time. Plenty of benches if you want to sit, plenty of spots to walk on the road and sidewalks, cars almost always are slow enough watching for walkers and runners... And its developed so well.

Amazing urban park with plenty of woodsy trails that intertwine. There was a beautiful look out that just takes your breathe away and you can see personal small planes take off and land occasionally. They seem to be busy on weekends with benefits and community events which is awesome to see!

I went to Ault Park to enjoy the cherry blossoms when they were in bloom. I was quite impressed by how beautiful and well kept the park was! There was no trash lying around, and there was plenty of space for social distancing while enjoying the beautiful views and pleasant floral aromas. It was a great escape from the the monotony of staying in the house during this pandemic.

Beautiful park but not A SINGLE person wearing a mask.... I’m not from here so it’s very disappointing and downright disrespectful that nobody wants to wear a mask just because your outside.

Beautiful views and wonderful flowering gardens and trees. Need some quiet time in some green space? This park is for you! Plenty of walking areas where you can easily social distance. Bring your camera - you will be glad you did!

This park has a really interesting pavilion. I like the interesting designs of the building. I wonder about it’s history and what it was originally used for. It was a little chili on our visit, but I’d guess it’s beautiful any time of the year. We took some pretty interesting photographs and a couple of video clips. I hope you’ll enjoy!

A beautiful and well thought out garden that provides a peaceful place to rest, or a nice spot for a blanket in the grass for a pic-nic or studying. The flowers and wide diversity of plants is impressive. Great photos of natural charm can always be found here.

Absolutely beautiful. There were so many people out enjoying the last few days of summer. We did see that it is a very popular place for photos. We will definitely visit again.

I got Covid here. I would have given it only 1 star since I got Covid here, but I gave it five stars because now I dont have to work for 2 weeks!

A very serene park with a whole bevy of trails, of all different sorts. You can take an easy hike and stay on flat ground or ramp up the difficulty and challenge yourself on steep slopes! All in all, a beautiful place to spend hours wandering around. Highly recommended!

A great place for taking a walk and enjoying nature, at least in a city. There is also a separate dog park here. All in all a wonderful place to visit.

Beautiful scenery. Some of the flowers still had blooms. Theres usually a wedding party taking pictures. I like to try to photocopy the pictures. It is a clean park and a good place to picnic, eat lunch, read or just relax.

An absolute staple when visiting Cincinnati any time of year, but especially the spring! Cherry Blossoms in full bloom and honestly just breathtaking. I am a professional photography love to photograph my clients here. whether youre looking for trails, a garden, architecture, or an epic picnic spot, this is your place!

Beautiful park a top a classic Cincinnati hill. Youll get your workout in riding or running up here, but the views are worth it. There is a restroom located within the park. It is not in the stone center point, but rather off to a side in its own outhouse building. The stone center piece is beautiful and known to be a frequented picture place. My favorite, however, is the surrounding plant life, sidewalk trails, and open fields to play soccer in.

Really no place better to go. If you are looking to relax and see an absolutely astonishing view, I would say this place should be your next stop. When you get on top of the stone structure you will see a marking of a railroad sign in pink chalk on the ground. There is also a North, East, South, West chalked on the ground, of course in pink as well. Then when you have looked past the wonderful display of what is now history you will begin to look up and see the view. You can see trees engulf you as you take that beautiful picture for your Instagram. If I may add, it is masterfully taken care of. Have a good day.

Great walk for a family on a Saturday morning. Beautiful views and lush gardens -- even fall. Be sure to bring masks, though, as is very crowded.

Beautiful Park but I spent 20 minutes trying to find the Rose Garden for a wedding. Absolutely no signage. Even the police in the park did not know where it was. Very frustrating! Please put up a sign!

Nice park to walk around, run in, bring dogs too, read, or picnic. A variety of places to just sit, some decent lookouts. A lot of open green space. Plenty of parking around. And a playground off to one side.

The park is quite large and has plenty of walking areas. There are a few main areas to focus on and a few great look out areas close by. They have a lot of the cherry blossom trees all over the park. Its a great area for spring pictures.

A beautiful, well-kept park. I often come here for walks even though I live about 20 minutes away. I do wish that more of the plants had name tags. There is a wide range of plants in the park gardens, and I would love to know more about them.

Great parks, its mostly about the trails though. Plenty of different trails to go on but the maps are out dated and even the online maps could use some work (although its way more helpful than the maps they have posted at the trails entrance).

Review №75

Ault park is great.There are multiple spaces - the pavilion for events.And the playground is large. There are separate spaces for older and younger kids with their own equipment, but near enough as a parent you can keep your eye on everyone. And it’s one of the few parks with multiple swings, giving more kids a chance to use them at the same time.
