Great park, great views. Although, you would want to avoid some areas within the park as it gets shady at times.
Beautiful park, and best place to watch the sunset! Also, great view of the city from the west side.
Nice shelter areas, clean bathrooms, plenty of open space, small playground. Great for walking, jogging, and bike riding.
Beautiful Cincinnati park, with breathtaking view of the Ohio River valley as it flows past the city. Picnic & stroll.
The view is what I went to this park for!!! The park looks better now then it did 15years ago :-)
The location of this Park is supreme. The view of the Cincinnati skyline overlooking the Ohio River is firstrate. Best kept secret, underrated venue for wedding and events.There is a playground more inward with basketball and tennis courts. They could update the park with more gardens, paths and trails. Alot of underutilized space, especially considering the view. There is no reason this Park could not be as popular or celebrated as lets say...Ault Park. #westsideproblems
Beautiful park with an amazing view of the city. Nice and clean. My husband and I eloped in the pavilion. It was perfect.
Really incredible view of northern Kentucky, downtown Cincinnati and the Ohio River. Nice simply laid out park, this lookout is a treasure more people should know about!
My favorite park in Cincinnati such beautiful views and wide open spaces.
So beautiful here 😇😇
Great venue for drum circle gatherings with an excellent city view! ✌🏼😎
What a great park. Highly recommend you visit.
One of Cincinnatis most beautiful scenic parks. Please go up to the overlook. PLEASE take your fully charged camera. You wont regret your decision to visit. There is also Basketball courts and walking trails. Glorious!
Best views of the city! There are certainly some seedy characters here during the evenings and weekends but if you can get here in the mid morning or afternoon you will surely find some tranquility and sense of space gazing at the skyline of Cincinnati and the flowing Ohio river.
Awesome views of the River valley, and some nice paved walking paths through old trees. Neat spot to spend an hour or two or three!
Park was so clean and the view is unreal. Will be back for WEBN fireworks.
I used to live in this area a while back and there is a view for fireworks during the 4th of July holiday.
Always a wonderful experience with many options available to enjoy the outdoors.
Absolutely gorgeous view of Cincinnati and Ohio river!!
Ive lived in Cincinnati most of my life.Never been here before.Its simply amazing, beautiful, prefect.You MUST check it out!
I love this park, excellent cityscape views, it sits in the many hills of price hill, I can always find parking, decent walks, plenty of area for kids to run and play and you often see performers (drummers, yoga classes, concerts, etc) under the arches.
Great park, with beautiful views of the city and sunsets.
Hands down the best Ohio river views of any park in my opinion
Pretty decent size park, with basketball & tennis courts. They have a nice bbq area just try to be the first or second group there and you will love it. Alot of open grass to walk on, they even have a makeout place.
I love the view an the difference parts to it the trials the only down fall is location.
Cute park with an awesome overlook of downtown Cincinnati, and northern Kentucky
The view here is awesome. If you want to be able to get a picture of the sunrise with the cincinnati skyline in it. This is the place to be. Very family oriented. Has swings and a play set area for children. It also has about 4 full court basketball courts there as well. No litter, plenty of garbage cans, and if youre lucky you just might get to see a deer or two
Looking over the river to my new city. Its beautiful here
My son since they were teenagers go to this park to play basketball.
Great view of the Ohio River and the city skyline!
Will return again I love this park
Mt Echo Park is gorgeous. I love going here with friends to drink in the view of the city on the river. Absolutely exquisite spot. There is also a beautiful building nearby that I have seen used in many weddings. Great place to think about life and get to know people
Werent looking for cicadas, was not disappointed in the slightest
This park is great. Not good for grilling but great for a walk and many other things to do like basketball or play around on many of the great lawns.
Great views of downtown and the river. A nice piece of nature in the city. But it can be a little scary with few ways out, people hanging out inside their cars and vans, and no security or police presence. Shame.
Wow! First time here for me. What a gem ❤️
My grandson and i had a picnic today at mt.echo park it was really quite and nice ...he had a good time i brought special treats and chips ..not a bad place at all.
Enjoy the chilly weather. Park has awesome views as it is covered with yellow trees. There were squirrels all around and birds were chirping. It was a great time with family. Must visit once to enjoy the scenes.
A big enough park with a gazebo, basketball court, and a tennis court. It has one of the best views in the entire city and will definitely be back.
Has some of the best views
Its a nice, clean, and peaceful park. I take the kids to this park and they love it. Considering its in Cincinnati this is one park that you dont have to worry about getting shot or something worse happening to you or your children. And the police may ride through if that makes you feel comfortable. I would give it 5 stars; If they could somehow keep the homeless people from sleeping in the park.
Mt. Echo Park is one of the most beautiful parks in the Greater Cinti area! The views of the river and the City are the best you will ever see! There is wildlife aplenty you can see scurrying up the trees or swimming in one of the ponds! It’s a delight for all the senses!
My favorite Park is Mount Echo Park
Love this place so pretty and quite to relax. For the most part its super clean. The view over downtown is just amazing. The park is on the good side where its quite and not alot of ruckus which is great!!! Im so glad bc I go here alot to walk my dog and let my kids play basketball.
I so love this big, open public park... Good for picnics, dog walking a couple different swing set areas.. Also, a basketball court and a couple covered shelters... The main BIG covered area in the center of the park os used very often for wedding receptions and or just wedding pics and senior pics or engagement pictures also.. The best feature is the overlook where the flag pole is that looks over the Ohio River and Downtown, Cincinnati!!! Two thumbs up!!!
Has the Best View of Cincinnati Skyline. Beautiful scenery. Beautiful flowers, several Pavilions throughout park. Public restrooms, tons of parking, tennis courts, basketball, baseball field, and good walking trail in woods for healthy people(wouldnt take small children or elderly on this trail its more for younger teenage - 40s due to rough terrain throughout. Also has a walking path for all around main pavillion that is around beautiful landscaping and city view. Love this park for romantic place to visit, exercise, and for family get together. Most beautiful Public Park in Cincinnati and right off the highway. A must visit Park for photography, Historic Park visits, places to see in Cincinnati.
It is sad to see such a beautiful park looking so run down. The playground was covered in trash, as well as rusty and torn up. Has Mt. Echo been forgotten by city maintenance? Great park with great potential, if only it were maintained!!
My. Echo Park has great views of the city and river. Great place to take the family to play at the park or explore the many nature walks. Great place to get married and has many gazebos and buildings to rent and use. One of the best parks in greater Cincinnati.
Favorite Park in Cincy, Especially for photos and great view of skyline even has viewing area.. Beautiful Park. Clean and several shelters. Has tennis courts, basketball, 2 walking trails, & of coursea small kids play area.
Wonderful views and a short trail
My favorite overlook of Downtown Cincinnati, The Ohio River and the Hills. Must see view of the Queen City.
We took our family pictures here when my daughter was a year and a half old. The views are fantastic.Its a great picnic spot, as well as as beautiful spot for photos.
A very Beautiful Historical Public Park over looking the Beautiful Ohio River & Downtown Cincinnati.. The Park is off Elbron Av. On your left side as you are going up the hill , theres a beautiful old stone wall near the entrance.. Also a Great view of Kentucky . They have sheltered areas , also places for grilling with Family and friends . Near the Historical Incline District , & Which also host a nice Theater.. Thanks , God Bless to All . Much Love To All . Mr. Luther ( Duke ) Garland Williams ...
Beautiful lookout spot in a nice park.
Its not a horrible place however there is a lot of things that need to be fixed. There are a lot of pot holes that management cant seem to get fixed. Not enough garbage cans. The kids play ground needs dirt or something under the swings in the playground by the basketball court. Its got a huge hole that is a muddy mess.
Beautiful view!! Nice walking path, swing set for children. Clean grounds
Absolutely one of the prettiest views, overlooks the city and at night its really beautiful all light up! Such a calming effect it has on one when in a mood I feel anyhow, but yeah give it a visit
Mt Echo park is one of Cincinnatis best. It offers the best city/river view from its beautiful pavilion and walkways. There are also picnic and athletic facilities. Located only 3 miles from Fountain Square in East Price Hill.
Nice park, great over look of the cincy skyline if thats your style. My style is more being an adult on the one swingset I could find. Rebellion.Nice trees. Go there and appreciate some nice trees and get a good look at the city and also Kentucky. Kentucky is visable too.
Very nice view of the city when you get to the top. Also can see fireworks the webn show if you get there early enough for parking. Seems to be a good place for partys, cookouts,etc
Beautiful park with amazing views of downtown and the river, a WPA era pavilion thats a popular place for weddings, several picnic shelters, and basketball and tennis courts.
It look better when I was younger and now theres too many needles and people using the bathroom in the woods because they keep blocking the bathrooms they are not keeping nothing clean and they dont even take care of the trails like they used to
Beautiful Memorial Day. Was visiting family at Vine St. Cemetery. Chose here afterward as had been years. We had the dog and a picnic lunch with a blanket. Went and saw the look out and the pavilion was taken over by people with BLARING CRAP music. Wont be back. I tried to get hubby to go to Riverfront Park.. He should have listened to me to begin with lol. Another Cincinnati park gone ghetto. Its a park not a nightclub.
Beautiful park hidden up on the hill in the city. Great views of the cincy skyline. Good place for a sunset or casual walk. Great for dates or picnics. Small quiet and pretty.
Nice park, but it was kind of trashed. Not sure if it was due to Independence Day being two days ago, or if its always like that. Great view of the city if the trees are trimmed!
Beautiful view of Cincinatti. The Pavillion is another architectural gem, which gorgeous columns and Greek styling. The park area offers much open green space to exercise or throw the football around. Additionally, there are basketball and tennis courts. Nice place to view the city.
We went up to see the convergence. The perfect place to see it. Great view of s downtown Cincinnati and northern Kentucky.
Incredible views, good physical walking trails, handy bathrooms, plenty of parking, nicely shaded areas, good access to privacy when you wanna......need to.... you know!!!!
Great view, alot of space, great architecture and super clean restrooms.
Absolutely beautiful veiws ,well kept,restrooms were clean.very nice all around
A great place to overlook Cincinnati. I wouldnt go there alone & probably wouldnt walk around Mt Echo because the neighborhood has gotten rough. Sad because its a great place to take pictures of the city and prom, graduation pictures.
Love the view!!!! Great for family get togethers or partys!! Call for prices?! They have a couple places where the kids can play. Or the family can have a picnic. Beautiful place to go to.
One of the best kept secrets in Cincinnati, great concerts in the park, The Krohn butterfly exhibit is a must see . The modern art museum can hold its own against any museum in the region The playhouse in the park plays that are held there ... Theres too much to mention...
Nice and clean with great views
A park good enough for postcards. Plenty of picnic area and a view of downtown Cincinnati good day or night.
Great views of downtown looking to the east. But the park seems to have seen better days and is pretty run down.
This park is perfect for families or just to have a little alone time. The view of downtown Cincy and the river is spectacular, especially at sunrise.
Surely a quiet place, nobody bothers you. However, the way people drive is like your sitting in a race track stands. The walking trails are full of glass
A hidden gem on the West Side - a great place for photographs of KY and the West Side view of downtown. The structure is in good condition and ideal for prom or engagement photos. There is a park with swings as well.
An awesome family atmosphere
Had a great time with my wifey and my son at Mt. Echo today. Weather couldnt have been more beautiful. The city view is breathtaking literally. 👍👍
Beautiful view of city.
I dont know if the city has forgot this place or what but it seems like there is hardly any maintenance anymore when theyre used to be the greatest flower display in the city it is totally just going downhill the park looks dirty very few people there anymore I wish somebody could do something
Its a very beautiful Park I always enjoy taking my children there and getting to see the city day or night its always beautiful especially in spring and summer with all the beautiful flowers blooming
There are people all over this park and thats cool. Almost every section of the place had numerous different people doing many different things. Definitely a place for diversity, and I love it!
Nice small park.
Clean good place to bring your kids is next to the hood though but all in all a good place
Beautiful setting with one of the best panoramic views of the Cincinnati skyline along with northern Kentucky!
Great place to walk around and relax. Its a great place to bring the kids
Beautiful landscaping. Wonderful view of the Ohio River. Very nice pavilion.
It had to many bees. We couldnt have are picnic in peace.
Beautiful park, views of the city, and a few playground for the kids to play. I dont like that they keep their bathrooms locked especially when kids are the main people who use their park.
Mount Echo is a beautiful park with a nice walking trail and a great Overlook of downtown Cincinnati
Awesome park great view.
Great views of Cincinnati
Great park with great views! Took my family for a picnic an had a great time and got some good pictures
Great photo opt.
Hidden gem. Stop by and check out the view of the city. Its definitely worth it.
I loved it. I got to see my granddaughter Madison their for first time in years. Great place to walk and look over the city.
Beautiful views, excellent parking. Only reason for 4 Stars instead of 5 is because there was sooo much trash over the railing.
Beautiful view of the city--perfect for photographers--but doesnt feel like the safest place in town.
Very scenic, clean quiteVery nice view of the Ohio river and Cincinnati/Covington in the same view
Nice park with great views of downtown. Lots of grass area. Could use some covered tables besides the one pavilion.
Gorgeous view of Cincinnati!
Another sprawling Park on Cincinnati great views sits high atop a hill overlooking Cincinnati and the river great place for kids and family get-togethers they keep up on the Park Grass Is Always mode trimmed a beautiful place in Cincinnati
This is a park with a beautiful view of the city skyline and Ohio River. Its a great place to have a romantic picnic or outdoor family party.
Beautiful views of the city below. Parking is a little weird and without signs so I ended up parking at the end of the park and walking a distance to see overview.
Relaxing place to read
Plenty of places to get away from the others and have space to chill with your girl if you were so inclined. 5 stars anytime I find that
The view is so amazing, I love talking my kids there for fun activities
Great views of city, trails around woods not well maintained, good spots to sit and relax.
A boring park! No good kid stuff there,but the scenery is beautiful!
This park has a great view of both downtown Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky. Great place for pictures.
Not safe at night but has beautiful views of the city.
Beautiful location, wish some foliage were removed to reveal view. Lots of garbage all over picnic area
Always have liked this place very nice view of the river and downtown Cincinnati! No complaints!
Final Tuesday drum circle unless its to cold. Its always been a high point of my month. Bring drums and flow and find on FB MT echo tribe.
Incredible Park & Incredible View!
Very nice views and facilities. Dont navigate by the Crestline Ave address--there is no vehicle access. Use Mt Echo Park Dr.
Nice park with great views, but too much drug dealers up there
Met up with some old friends was great seeing them.. Wish more people would have shown up. Maybe next year !!
Great views of the river and Cincinnati
Would give 5 stars easily if there wasnt so much trash in sight. I would have picked it all up myself except its beyond the fenced in barrier.
A nicer park for the city. Great west side and Kentucky views. You also get the awesome echo of the theater building.
Love this park an the view i will have my wedding here one day
Nice view. No playground. A couple sketchy west siders.

Nice place to visit. Lots of big trees and good shade in summer time.
It has one of the most beautiful views over looking our city.

The view at this park is so nice and peace I was able to take a hour nap
Stopped at the park to take a conference call from my car. Park was convenient to get to but was dirty and needed general upkeep.
One of many beautiful Cincinnati parks overlooking our Fair City. And Kentucky too.
Nice park, but not a good place to watch the downtown fireworks.
If your not gonna have the bathrooms open, at least have a porti-potty, cause people are gonna use the bathroom, just messy.
Nice park with great views overlooking Cincinnati and kentucky.
Used yo be a good park just a lot of heroin attics around up there now

Can see the whole city of Cincinnati and the state of Kentucky on the other side of the river. Nice!!

2022-04-03Quite a beautiful park with a spectacular view of downtown Cincinnati. Surprised it took me as long as it did to discover it. The pups and I enjoy going on more cloudy or rainy days to stay clear from the many viewers.
Review №2
2021-11-09This is THE place to be to catch Cincinnatis best sunrise along the skyline. It’s absolutely breath taking. It’s pretty peaceful and doesn’t draw too much of a crowd.
Review №3
2022-06-29This park is just a few minutes from our house, so we go here frequently. At this park you will find the most beautiful views of Cincinnati OH and Kentucky! Dont miss your opportunity to visit the overlook.The park has a newly renovated (2021) playground, basketball courts, paved sidewalks, and large green spaces - perfect for running around and playing or laying in the grass with friends.
Review №4
2022-03-08Beautiful park but needs better upkeep and policing. Trash is absolutely everywhere and we saw a group of people fighting in the parking lot.
Review №5
2022-05-01Great views of downtown - and restored pavilion
Review №6
2019-12-01This place is not super big, but it is an excellent place for taking photos. Nice angle of the city, an older building with platforms, pillars, and plenty of little nooks and crannies to get creative. Plenty of open grassy hills and walkways. Nice place for dates, special moments, and pictures. Though there is a swing set and a grill, it is not really a park for children playing or grilling much.
Review №7
2020-03-07We had a nice visit here, taking photos and having a nice. Beautiful view of the Ohio River from here. We have plenty of photos to upload for all to see. We hope you enjoy. And come and visit sometime!

2021-02-01This is one of my favorite city parks. That park was in or backyard when I was a bit. It was the perfect place for play, exploration, and reflection. The view of the city is stunning.
