Great overlook views of the Ohio and Little Miami Rivers. The pavilion has a unique quality with stone work arches. Its two stories so you get above the trees. The view of the Ohio, appears to be to the west.
This is my childhood park! I wanted my kids to feel how I did at their age! We had the best time! I actually had to carry my little girl away crying because she kept wanting to slide just one more time lol.
If there is stuff at the castle then no to use bathrooms also the trails are over grown
An excellent place for the family. There are trails for hiking, a playground for children that has a marble slide.
I have been to Alms Park many times in my career as a Cincinnati wedding photographer! It is such an intimate little park, and its gorgeous in the fall! I recently did an Italian themed vow renewal there (the couple had honeymooned in Italy) and it was the perfect setting, with the stone walls. Cant wait to book another event there!
Nice hilltop park with a view and a playground. Seems much cleaner than sooner other hilltop parks in the area.
Cute little out of the way park. Great for pucnics and walking.
Best park. Beautiful. Lots of trails trees new play ground. Its my new fav. Park
Alms park is one of the most beautiful parks in Cincinnati. You can walk, hike, or run trails along ridges overlooking the river and city. Or, you can bring a picnic and relax as you watch planes take off from and land at Lunken Airport. In the center of the park, there is a beautiful pavilion and a palyground for the kids. I highly recommend visiting this park for a relaxing day.
Nice place to relax and have a Picnic. It has amazing views all around.
This is such a beautiful park. I will be back very soon!
On a Wednesday evening, we had a romantic picnic at the Pavillion area while overlooking the hill down to the river. We were there about an hour before others came to the area. Even with the many people that came to where we were, it was still peaceful and it still seemed private. Everyone was friendly and we all watched a beautiful sunset.
Beautiful views, playground, easy parking and accessible picnic and stroller friendly!
Great for kids they love the playground the hiking trails are well mantained
Beautiful scenic views and a great area to watch planes from lunken airport. Nice updated playground and a couple (sort of maintained) trails. Nice area to grill out as well.
Beautiful park! Had a mini shoot here and it was beautiful.
This place is beautiful. Amazing scenery!
Theres a great updated more modern playset and the classic marble slide is still going strong. Plus plenty of trees shade the kids play areas. The castle is beautiful to explore and good climbing trees and trails all around. Plus this park has the best view of Lunken Airport. Definitely one of our top fav parks in Cincinnati!
Great place with overlooking to Ohio River and local airport.
Beautiful views at this park.
The greatest park in the city of Cincinnati. This is the place where I became a man. It truly is a magical place that conjures ambition in the citys youth. If your son or daughter is always hanging out at alms park, theyre on the right track.
Much quieter than the nearby as Ault park. Because of this, its a great place to sit and look out at the lovely views of the surrounding area- this park is elevated up on a hill.Some of the things to do there as a standard guest are the playground, and the ever classic marble slide which has been there for ages.
Great views
One of the best places to watch the sunset!!!
A hidden little gem on high elevation overlooking Lunken airport valley area. Nice neighborhood with a convenient shopping area and a selection of restaurants. Worth of visit.
It was spooky. I took my dog up there to walk the trails and we both kept hearing someone calling his name from back in the woods. We tried to see where it was coming from but it led us straight to Dead Mans curve.We never did find anybody back there.
Beautiful park! Lovely view of lunken airport on one side & wonderful view of the Ohio River on the other side. Has walking trails! Very nice place to have a picnic, relax or take the kids to play! Dont forget the one & only infamous concrete slide !! Ive been goin down that slide for 35 years now.... I love that park....
Great low key version of Ault Park. Off the beaten path, great views of the river and Lunken Airport, and a new playground. Not easy to find your way to it, but it’s worth it. Don’t miss the slide built into the hill.
Fairly small park compared to others in the area, but the vistas are breath taking. An amazing overlook of the bend of the Ohio River on one side and an amazing view of the historic Lunken airfield on the other. Some hidden nature trails that are challenging but worth it!
I love this place! Alms Park overlooks Lunken Airport, giving you an excellent view of incoming and outgoing air traffic. The landscaping is very well kept up and the pavilion and pergola make really good photo opportunities! The Park also has a playground for children and plenty of space to take a walk. Its one of the best spots in the area to relax and enjoy a long evening!
Absolutely beautiful views. I took a wedding party here for their pictures. A must see spot in Cincinnati if you havent been to it yet.
Beautiful view, peaceful, one of the nicest parks only complaint picnic tables are in horrible condition almost impossible to sit on due to rotting wood. Unfortunatly have been like that for years. Love the play area for kids.
Pretty, well kept park. Quiet with a good view of the Little Miami River valley.
Nice little park great overlook of lunken. Judging by the amount of people a very popular location, walkable, small playground, looked like a picnic area, and overall a little oasis of nature in a city landscape.
Great park to visit and let the kids burn some of their energy off while in Cincinnati.
One of the best parks in all of Cincinnati. Spectacular views. Nice play areas for the kids.
I absolutely adore this park. It has a vintage structure that offers amazing photo opportunities for any occasion. Save the date pictures, wedding pictures its great to have a small intimate wedding there. It has amazing photo opportunities as it has an Overlook of the Ohio River as well as lunken airport and is surrounded by forests which are great for picture opportunities. A little disappointed because they installed a new Playset for children that is nowhere near as nice or expansive as the old one.
Nice place to sit and read. Ber good playground.
Cool little place near my kids school, so I can bring them here after school without much hassle. Awesome views of the river and lunkin airport. The playground is really unique with a polished cement slide that is rather long and allows the kids to catch some speed.
Awesome panoramic views of the Ohio River and Lunken Airport. The playground was very cool, too. My kid loved it.
After visiting Lunken airport for their event today we went here. Fabulous park playground in good condition with newer equipment, and different from most things you see. Climbing equipment for all ages. Unique cement slide that had a line at times after we drew attention to it. Its over by itself beyond the higher swings so dont miss it! Good toddler swings our infant enjoyed. Great overlook of the airport where we could watch helicopters going back and forth to the event below...you wont see those every day I figure. Nicer bathrooms up at the top. We didnt get to visit the buildings up there as they were taken over by wedding prep.
Ive visited this park several times and most recently for a wedding. This park is a great location to visit and check out.There is plenty of shade to enjoy on sunny days and plenty of room to hang out for a picnic.The views are stunning and the top of the hill over looks Lunken airport.One thing we enjoyed doing in the past is getting a couple of slices of Pizza from Ramundos in Mount Lookout and relaxing at the park.
We love this park. It has a great view of Lunkin Field. There are several places in the park for picnicking. Our work group like to have Pizza In The Park once or twice a year. We usually have something to celebrate, a publication or an event. We like the lower shelter. It has three or five picnic tables. So room to serve up the pizza and soft drinks. There is room to bring your dog(s) and play a game of catch.
Has a beautiful view over the airport and river. Pleanty of shade. Water pump for the pups. Great playground toys. And most importantly involved parents. My children love Alms park and so do I.
Im a DJ and I did a wedding here. It was a beautiful place to do a wedding. My customers had their wedding in a building that looks like a castle. It is mainly outdoors so be sure you make note of that when planning your event. The building where my customers were married has a bathroom so no need to worry about that. The views are beautiful.
Wow! Ive been here more than a handful of times and love coming here. Absolute great spot for all types of events or just coming here to relax by yourself. I enjoy how well the place is taken care of and how much of a view the place offers. Its really nice its open until 11 and doesnt close at dusk as most parks. Easy access in and out, lots of pretty flowers during spring and summer. Worth checking out.
You might not realize this park is even here - its entrance is hidden on a side street in a residential neighborhood, but it is well worth seeking out for some of the great views of the Ohio River, Cincinnati Municipal Airport, and the surrounding low lands in general. The 100 acres of the park itself are also very nice with a nice mix of manicured lawns on the hilltop and more rugged forest on the slopes falling away from it. There is a trail through the woods, but its more of a grassy path which is pretty wet in the morning and muddy after a rain. In the more parklike area, there are picnic and playground areas with some well kept public restrooms and a very nice pavilion and pergola. The latter boasts a nice view of the Ohio River, while the overlook at the back of the park has a great view of the Municipal Airport below and a peek (probably better in the winter when the leaves are off) of the Little Miami River beyond (its confluence with the Ohio is nearby and may also be visible in winter).
My granddad brought me to the overlook here at this iconic Cincinnati park so I could watch the airplanes take off and land at Lunken Airport and if course, ride the concrete slide. Attended weddings and other functions at Alms Park through the years. I have brought my kids here and I bring my grandkids today. The playground is upgraded and very inclusive. Each time we leave, they always ask when we will return.
I grew up with this park as one of the many parks in my neighborhood and was able to frequent the park as a child and still do to this day! Up till the point of my fathers passing when I was 15 years of age, my family used this location as the annual location for family reunions so that family outside of immediate family could see one another. This is a stunningly beautiful park with a rest/viewing bench dug out of the hill that people can sit at and see the amazing view of Lunkin Airport and watch as the aircrafts take-off and/or land. There is a concrete slide that has been there my entire life which appears to have been there for the parks existence that has always been one of the fastest slides I have ever rode down (which I do not recommend for children whom are not able to show themselves or easily injured, I assist my 3 years old myself as it can be quite dangerous). I hope to continue to keep this park in my life, heart, and memories while passing what could be considered a tradition of sorts, on to my children and grandchild (and any more future grandchildren) with the hopes they too will love this park as I do with the hopes they too get the chance to experience, have and hold deer in their hearts cherished memories for the rest of their lives to pass on for generations to come! I truly recommend that every Cincinnati resident give this park a visit and take in the view, you will not regret it and likely will make it a habit to go as often you can, try taking a lunch break there, take your lunch and either park next to the wide open view of Lunkin or sit on the concrete bench down in the viewing area and enjoy it all while eating.
Brand new park with unique spinning swing for the kids. Also has a 20 ft granite slide the kids (any age) love. Really cool overlook of the Ohio River on one side and Lunken airfield on the other.
This park was great, we did a hike in the woods it was enjoyable. Even if you just want to and relax you have many great views. Also with Lunken airport next door a view of the planes taking off.
I really enjoyed this park. Has some wonderful trails that are secluded and quiet tucked all throughout. Friendly folks and lots of lounging. Great view of the city and perfect for receptions or parties!!
Nice partly shaded park on top of a hill. Never seen it very busy. Good for younger kids in particular
Watch the planes take off and land from Lunkin on one side then walk a few hundred yards and you can watch barges and boats come down the Ohio River. The views here are great and there is also a nice, shaded playground. Parking can be a little tight at times, but its still another outstanding park in the Cincinnati area.
Upper and lower level with beautiful vistas of Lunken Airport and Ohio River valley as well as hills of Ky. Exercise areas for children as well as picnic areas.
Great park! Nice area where you can watch planes take off
Great spot for photos. Many different areas and views to pick from.
Always amazing view and great place for picnic or photo shoots.
Relaxing and beautiful
A beautiful park with a breathtaking view of the river and massive stone benches to observe planes taking off and landing at the Lunkin air field. I havent been on the trails, but it has a little of everything to offer, including picnic area, playset, and small wedding/reception structures
Wonderful, out of the way park with beautiful views it the Ohio and Little Miami river valleys. Great childrens play area and picnic spot. Peaceful solitude if you want. Enjoy!
Another gem in the crown 👑 of the Cincinnati and Greater Hamilton County Park Systems. In a hill, beautifully landscaped and cared for, this lovely, small but elegant park overlooks the Lunken Flood Plains. A joy to experience when the Ohio River is tragically overfilling its banks, this vantage point gives a safe and beautiful view of the destructive Waters below
Great park for the kids with a number of play structures, swings, and slides. The castle is pretty cool too. You can also watch planes from Lunken Airport take off and land.
Very nice views of Ohio River. New and very unique/different playground equipment. 6 year old and 4 year old were very excited to see rock climbing and music making areas!
A hidden gem. Excellent scenery for photos. Super cute kids park. Great city views. Clean and green!
A beautiful hidden small gem of a park! Plane watching with a panoramic view of Lunken airport and Ohio river. A pavilion (can be rented for weddings, etc..) and dont forget the stone slide and playgrounds for the kids. Hiking trail also.
Absolutely beautiful views of the Ohio river and adjacent Lunken Airport. Gorgeous spots for picnics. You wont be disappointed. Terrible for metal detecting though. Lots of trash under the surface. Spotless above.
The setting is so relaxing! I love this park!
One of the best views in Cincinnati. You can watch planes and, if youre lucky, a blimp land and take off at Lunken airport. And just a few hundred feet away is another beautiful overlook on to the hills of Kentucky with fun quick trails spreading throughout.
This is a quiet Oasis in the city. Beautiful views of the river and a selection of easy hiking paths. Its rarely crowded and a great place for a dog walk.
Beautiful park! Great place to take in a sunset and let your kids play.
This was a nice park with trails but none of the trails have been maintained enough to use at all. The playground is nice though.
Nice park but don’t come planning on walking the trails. They are not maintained and overgrown with weeds, vines and fallen trees across them.
Beautiful Park, a romantic getaway right in the middle of the city! its a wonderful place to come and snuggle with your loved one!
Some of the best views are seen this park. Nice park for the kids too.
Place is gorgeous. Unfortunately, it is packed since the pandemic, but still one of the most beautiful parks in the city.
One of Cincinnatis beautiful parks.At certain times of the day I have seen many deer in the park. I really enjoy Alms Park when I get a chance to hang out there.
Beautiful place and a great overlook for the airport and the river. Awesome play area for kids, very modern.
Alms Park is one of Cincinnatis best green spaces. Its set between the Ohio River and Lunken Airport, on top of a hill that was once owned by early American winemaker Nicholas Longworth. It has broad river views to the west and south, and clear views of the municipal airports runways to the east. In addition to the overlooks there are hiking trials, swing- and play-sets, and picnic tables shaded by massive oak trees. A great place to spend an afternoon.
Great park that includes playgrounds, pavilions, a trail, and scenic overlooks over Lunken Airport and the river.
Nice place to relax and shady
Great place to relax and take loved ones to enjoy the great outdoors
One of my favorite parks. Beautiful views and hands down the best playground to take your kids too.
A shady spot with views of the river and Lunken airport. It has a decent, shaded playground with a concrete slide. Bathrooms are average.
Quiet small park. Excellent overlooks. New playground area. Also found what was assumingly a crack pipe and other paraphernalia in the reservable section, so keep your eyes open.
Beautiful views, nice trials. Great views of Lunken Airport and the surrounding valley. Also a cool spot for smaller group gatherings.
My 5 year old loved it
Had a lovely picnic with my friend Kira. We had the place to ourselves for the most part. It eventually filled up, but the vibe was peaceful and respectful.
They have the most beautiful views looking down to the river and the east end of Cincinnati.. Plus a awsome view of Lunkin Air Port.. The play area is more for 5 years old and up not much for baibes to do... But its great for the older kids.. And great for gatherings and weddings... Trails to hike on... Its just a beautiful park
A hidden gem. One of the best parks around and a great place for beautiful photos.Great views of Lunken airport and the east side of Cincinnati.

I like this park a lot, if ault park is too crowded usually you can go here and get more peace
Beautiful place. Well maintained. A first class municipal outdoor recreation area.
Surrounded by top shelf Cincinnati homes and sweeping city views makes this park unbeatable. Dont miss the cement slide!
The kids love the old concrete slide that is still functional from when I was a kid going here.
Beautiful river overlooks. Smaller quaint park
Amazing views. I have witnessed dogs off leash quite a few times which is a little concerning.
A classic park! Hiking, updated playscape, views of Lunken and the classic concrete slide make this one of my favorites!

2018-08-04It’s a peaceful park with fantastic view of sunset at dusk. There is place where you can sit on bench or on grass and enjoy the sunset and city view.. there are trees all around and all you hear is birds chirping and wind.. there is place to host event.. there are swings for kids but those were closed that time .. there is beautiful view of nearby municipal airport.. road to park is like driving on hill and view is super.. must visit once with family or friends for a peaceful evening and enjoy the nature

2020-05-27Beautiful views, beautiful landscapes, great structures, confusing trails. Please, mark these trails better! You think youre following one and then you are suddenly on a residential street outside of the park.
