I walk the trails here fairly often. A lot of them intersect so its easy to switch if the one your on is too strenuous. Some have some pretty steep hills and if its rained recently can be challenge. There is a large playground and an amphitheatre. Its nice to walk around if you dont want to walk the trails. Always lots of people and pets out spending a sunny day in the shade of a tree or at one of the shelters.

My family loves going on all of the different hikes in the woods surrounding the park. Some of the trails overlook the Ohio River. There are several big creeks that different trails cross and walk alongside as well. The trails are primarily covered due to the large trees throughout the woods. Great historical area with the old fort and walls throughout the woods which are fun to try and find.

This is very local and very fun and Tower Park doesnt just limited playground, there are trails, courts, and even an auditorium or they sometimes play musics especially at carnivals.

Nice park! The only downside was that the public bathrooms were locked presumably for the end of the season (it is October 30th).

Nice atmosphere, though could improve upon Covid-19 restrictions. Kids were playing on a playground that should be kept closed due to contact precautions.Fort Thomas Farmers Market held there on Wednesdays. About 20 booths present when I went.

The park itself is wonderful. Large, modern, safe, clean and beautiful. The ONLY downside is the yuppie snobs who seem to frequent it. They are rude, judgemental, unkind and unwelcoming to special needs children. My daughter has autism, and she loves this park. Unfortunately, whenever there are other ft Thomas residents there, we have experienced nothing but judgemental, condescending, dirty looks and noses stuck high in the air. So the park is only a good idea when we can catch it empty. Which kinda defeats the whole purpose of taking her to a park for socializing. Its a shame because otherwise it really is a nice park.

Tower Park in Ft. Thomas Kentucky is absolutely wonderful. It is always very well maintained, with clean restrooms, well cared for grounds, and the neighborhood is fantastic. The playground is huge, and there are many large covered shelters with plentiful seating. There have play equipment for younger and older children. There are plenty of swings and slides, as well as those spring loaded bouncy rocker animals. Also, there are lots of other activity areas, which include basketball hoops, volleyball, enclosed tennis courts, and a baseball field. Many people walk their dogs here as well. There are trails, and plenty of space for picnics. In the summer, there is an area for concerts, with a large lawn, and also a periodic farmers market. The main strip off of the park has a few bars and cafes, and an ice cream shop, as well as an amazing Chinese place called New Garden which my husband and I have been dining at for 4 years. Overall, this is such a hidden gem for lunch or dinner and a fun day at the park.

Wonderful equipment and set up so that there are benches surrounding the play area and a covered area in the middle. Lots of equipment for all ages and abilities plus swings for everyone. The area is beautiful and the park is kept up very well. There are also covered bathrooms with multiple stalls, changing tables, and infant seats in the stalls. Will go back and recommend to others!

This place is a wonderful park and facility. It was a real pleasure to visit, and permission to do an OCIN orienteering course was an opportunity to experience this delightful, well cared-for location. Living in Fort Thomas, KY, has some lovely features, and this is definitely one.

Tower Park is the former military fort of Fort Thomas. You will find playscapes, trails, history, and conservation. There is a military museum and a large native plant garden. It is also where the city comes to celebrate. Concerts are presented in the large amphitheater. The former mess hall is a gathering place for receptions, meetings, displays, etc. Its a gem.

Great spot to hike, bike, or enjoy the sites. It seems like there is an event here every other day, be sure to check the calender. Its a great way to kill some free time for.. Well, for free. Very dog and kid friendly. Theres always a jew trail to explore and sights to see. Alot of local flora and fauna wander throughout the park. Stay vigilant and you might just see some!

Nice bit of history here with the tower of the fort that gave this town its name. Paved paths and picnic areas, restrooms, free parking and play-ground for the kids. Reunions, receptions, reenactments, you can probably rent the pavillion. Organize a neighborhood pillow fight! Seriously life is to short get outside go to this park with your dulcimer and djimbe and make music and friends

This is a wonderful park right in the heart of the city of Ft. Thomas. The playground is fantastic with newer equipment, soft mulch to cushion falls and lots of different sized slides for kids of all ages. Our kids have a blast here.The shelter is also newer and in great shape.As much as we like the playground area, we may enjoy the hiking trails around the park even more. The Ft. Thomas Tree Trail in the back of the park is fantastic. If you have young kids, its a perfect distance to hike, wear them out, but still give them a great feeling of accomplishment.
