Allow me to express why it has earned its reputation as one of Cincinnati's finest local parks. The sight of the capacious parking lot is a welcoming embrace, never once seeing it congested. The park's well-thought-out amenities add to its allure. A spacious shelter, a bustling children's playground, and sports fields that invite spirited competition, even the rhythmic clatter of a skate park. There's no shortage of options for recreation. For the basketball enthusiasts, a vibrant court awaits, echoing the joyous laughter and camaraderie that flourish here. Not to forget the ever-necessary conveniences, two well-maintained restrooms that ensure a comfortable visit. Take a moment to relax and savor the lush ambiance, thanks to a scattering of benches and convenient drinking fountains. No detail goes unnoticed; Clippard Park consistently showcases meticulous maintenance, from the playgrounds to the sports fields. Exploration leads me down the inviting path of the paved trail system that gracefully encircles the park. Although somewhat weathered, it boasts a pristine charm. The sun-kissed walkway provides the ideal canvas for my runs, where every stride seems in harmony with the surroundings. Though shade is a scarcity, a natural barrier formed by the wooded area mitigates the nearby highway noise, preserving a tranquil atmosphere. Clippard Park thrives with life, drawing a diverse crowd that mirrors the vibrant tapestry of the community. From lithe joggers to the serenity of dog walkers and the joviality of partygoers, there's a place for everyone. Overall, Clippard Park stands tall as a testament to Colerain's commitment to green spaces. It's not just a park; it's a sanctuary where contemporary amenities meet natural beauty. The legacy of this park leaves an indelible mark on the heart of the neighborhood, an emblem of all that urban green spaces should be."

"When I was a kid there wasnt much to this place but a big dirt field and a swing set that had maybe 2 or 3 swings haha. But this park is awesome now. My kids love to go watch the skate park, it's a pretty cool thing. I was gonna try it but watched a friend of mine instead and said no thanks hahaha. But it's a very great place to take your kids now a days and has a nice little walk fof the older ones. Only thing I have bad to say is that it gets pretty crowded pretty quick and some of the kids have absolutely no manners. Mine arent the best kids in the world by far but they do have manners. So if yo uh have a pretty young one take them before school hours are out or stay with them while they play. But it's all fun and the water park is pretty awesome as well."

"Very nice place. Great trails, both primitive and regular. I take my dog there but they have a really nice playground if you have kids. In the summer they have a little water park area that's wonderful. My dog and I have both played in it when no one's there. I may be old now but it was still fun! Spoil yourself and go play in the water this summer. They also have a skateboard park, ball fields, shelter areas with grills, vending machines, and two large clean bathrooms."
