    Spring is the optimal time to come here. I parked by the forest trail and walked up to the pavilion. I like taking this way because it’s less crowded. The walk up the hill also gets the lungs pumping. There are patches of yellow fig buttercups and some big broken tree trunks around. If you decide to take this route then wear hiking shoes. It can get muddy. The pavilion and garden is fun to walk around. The magnolia trees, daffodils, Christmas roses and Blue lungwort are out and blooming now. It smells really pretty. Bring water, something to sit on, bug spray and sunglasses. It’s that kind of place to absorb nature’s beauty. I’m excited to come back for the Cherry blossoms mid April. March 21,2022

    Extravagant wedding venue. Picture this: Sunset on an early June evening. Strawberry full moon above. Dancing the night away. Socializing with best friends and new friends on the rooftop. It was an amazing venue. Photos opportunities around every corner.

    Ault park is wonderful. During the summer, they have flower gardens you can walk through. It’s very well kept and clean. They have a workout park with workout equipment, trails in the woods, paved trails, kids play area, restrooms, and lots of stairs for workouts! You can bring hammocks and picnic blankets as well. Ault park is our go to spot for walks, small hikes and workouts.

    This park is large and beautiful with many different trail options, varying in difficulty. Most of the trails are shaded , with many different species of flowers and plants along the way. Very peaceful park and fun trails! The cliff trail was a workout.

    Love this place! At the end of March, the beginning of April is the best place to see cherry blossom trees. The sightseeing from the building is unique! Restrooms are available and a great playground. Lots of flowers, beautiful gardens, and lots of walking too.

  • 5/5 Tangerine G. 2 years ago on Google
    Perfect place to take some pictures(: I believe you can also rent out some of the areas for events! A great place for exercising or taking the dog and kids. One of the best parks around.

    Really pretty park with beautiful views of the sunset from the top of the pavilion! Lots of flower gardens, a decent amount of paved walking paths, and even more unpaved paths I have yet to explore. Plenty of green space to hang out and lots of parking available. They occasionally host public events here as well.

    This park has always been one of my favorites, now it's even better with the new bike trail that goes through it! The old train tressel bridge is now rideable and walkable. It's fantastic!

    I went to Ault Park to enjoy the cherry blossoms when they were in bloom. I was quite impressed by how beautiful and well kept the park was! There was no trash lying around, and there was plenty of space for social distancing while enjoying the beautiful views and pleasant floral aromas. It was a great escape from the the monotony of staying in the house during this pandemic.

    One of the best well kept, well planned public city parks I have been to in a while. A gem for Cincinnati. In spring when the flowers and cherry blossoms are in bloom it is heavenly. Very large grounds, picnic areas, diverse botanical features, and architecture. Have never been able to find a restroom though.

  • 5/5 Paul L. 1 year ago on Google
    This is an amazing park with great views of the city and yet you feel like you’re totally out of it. Great event center as well, they have several events a year.

    Never a bad day at this place. Calm and peaceful most of the time. Plenty of benches if you want to sit, plenty of spots to walk on the road and sidewalks, cars almost always are slow enough watching for walkers and runners... And it's developed so well.

    I got Covid here. I would have given it only 1 star since I got Covid here, but I gave it five stars because now I don't have to work for 2 weeks!

    Even in the middle of Winter, the scenery is wonderful and the paths are well laid. And there's a ton of PokéStops!

    Beautiful park but not A SINGLE person wearing a mask.... I’m not from here so it’s very disappointing and downright disrespectful that nobody wants to wear a mask just because your outside.

    Didn’t stay long, use the bathroom before you go! Nice views and nice to walk around. Probably stayed an hour, smaller park than I’m used to but very clean and nice!

  • 5/5 sildanani 1 year ago on Google
    Gorgeous Park! If you like flower gardens, this is your place! Many of the Cincinnati Parks maintain flower bed throughout most of the year. But this park's beds are by far, my favorite.

  • 5/5 Julie S. 3 years ago on Google
    Beautiful love the tall trees.

  • 5/5 Elena T. 1 year ago on Google
    Very nice place - gorgeous lawns as well as a small wild trail: you can experience both kinds of walk at one place :)

  • 5/5 Dawnya C. 11 months ago on Google
    One of or the most beautiful parks I've ever been to. Flowers everywhere. We took our son's prom pictures there and then walked around afterwards. Nice afternoon thanks to Ault park...

  • 5/5 Avinash P. 1 year ago on Google
    Beautiful and a great spot for picnicking with family and friends. The park also features a play area for children, and the view is absolutely breathtaking, especially during the blooming of cherry blossom trees and flowers. The park is well-maintained, ensuring a clean and pleasant environment. Playground: There is a large playground located off a side road, not within the central loop of the park. Dog-friendliness: The park is welcoming to dogs, making it an excellent place for dog owners to take their pets for a walk. Picnic area: Numerous spots for picnicking can be found throughout the park, with several tables and a couple of shelters available.

    Such a beautiful place. We’ve spent a lot of time here in 2020 and I’ve never realized how peaceful it is. Looking forward to spending more time here and enjoying it more often.

  • 5/5 Kevin K. 3 years ago on Google
    This place is great! Could definitely have a wedding here.

  • 4/5 joseph n. 3 years ago on Google
    All around nice park to be at. Lovely view from the pavilion. Great hiking trails and plenty of flats to play ball, get a tan, or you can sit under one of the numerous trees and read a good book.

  • 5/5 Laidely L. 3 years ago on Google
    Great place to walk your pet. Seat to read or spend the day peacefully! Walking under the snow was an amazing experience!!! 🌨❄💙🙏🏼

    Beautifully clean kept park with nice walking paths. Easy-moderate hiking trails through the surrounding woods.

  • 5/5 Kiah N. 3 years ago on Google
    Amazing urban park with plenty of woodsy trails that intertwine. There was a beautiful look out that just takes your breathe away and you can see personal small planes take off and land occasionally. They seem to be busy on weekends with benefits and community events which is awesome to see!

  • 5/5 John W. Thomas I. 3 years ago on Google
    A very beautiful location in Cincinnati; lots of places to walk if you're looking for a nice place to walk there are significant sections of it where they don't allow dog walkers, if you're not a dog walker, and if you are, there places you can exercise your dog also.

  • 5/5 Michelle I. 3 years ago on Google

    My favorite part in Cincinnati. Be sure to check out the wooded trails

  • 4/5 Bart J. 3 years ago on Google
    Nicely kept trails - good for a city park. Some trails are flat and easy, and some moderately hilly. Busy on weekends. Lawns, formal gardens and 1930s pavilion are stunning. Also some nice views of the Little Miami River Valley.
