Mt. Echo Park

"I visited Mt Echo on a beautiful fall day. The views of the Ohio River and downtown Cincinnati are the stars of this park. There is a nice pavilion that can be rented for events. There are a few very nice tennis and basketball courts. I found one hiking trail, and like most trails in Cincinnati there is a lot of up and down. The leaves made the rock steps a bit slippery, but was easily navigated."

"Great corner to get nice pictures of downtown Cincinnati and Ohio rever"

The park is perched atop a hill, offering a panoramic view of downtown Cincinnati that's nothing short of spectacular. It's truly a picture-perfect view, one that showcases the beauty of both nature and the city's architecture. The trails at Mt. Echo Park are all paved and incredibly well-maintained, making it a breeze to explore the park. It only takes about 20 minutes to complete the loop, but for me, it took a bit longer because I simply couldn't resist stopping and admiring the views from every angle. I wasn't the only one taking in the views either - I saw many people sitting or standing near the edge of the park, enjoying the picturesque landscape and the pleasant breeze of early spring. And who could blame them? It's the kind of view that leaves you in awe, and I found myself feeling grateful to be surrounded by such natural beauty. Overall, I highly recommend visiting Mt. Echo Park to anyone in the Cincinnati area. The views are truly unforgettable and the well-maintained trails make it easy to explore the park at your own pace. It's the perfect spot to escape the hustle and bustle of the city and simply soak up the beauty of nature."

"A spacious park with a good nature walk for families to enjoy. A surprisingly large variety of large trees with nice nature quote signs which welcome every step of the trail. My children enjoyed the fun playground. There is a large area of basketball and tennis courts. The pavilion was a fun visit with tremendous acoustics. The pavilion and shelters are available for reservations. The views from the hill of the Ohio River and downtown Cincinnati are absolutely stunning and well worth the trip. In our short visit, we saw no less than a dozen skinks! The park is beautiful, but minus 1 star as it seems some visitors do not care to keep it beautiful. There is a lot of trash simply thrown on the sides. However, I highly recommend a visit to Mt Echo Park. The views are seriously worth the trip!"

"The views above downtown Cincinnati and the Ohio River below were impressive. We couldn’t stay for long, but the park seemed to have a lot of nice green space and a nice pavilion and playground. The fact that many people were there must have been a testament to its popularity. It’s worth a stop for the views for sure."
