    Attended a celebration of life for a departed friend here. The extraordinary beauty of the hilltop pavilion was the perfect setting. There is now a tree and a bench across from the pavilion in her honor. Breathtaking views from up there and beautiful facility!!!!

    This small park is really peaceful, as everything in Mt. Adams is. The view is a bit better from the pavilion area. There is a fun playground with swings and plenty of space to have a picnic.

    ★☆☆☆☆ Popularity ★☆☆☆☆ Size/Location ★★★★☆ Terrain ★★★☆☆ Scenery ★★☆☆☆ Accessibility ★★★☆☆ Amenities ★★★★★ Condition ★★★★★ Safety Date visited: 09/16/2023 On a scorching summer day, I visited Alms Park perched atop a hill, known for its picturesque views and serene surroundings. As I approached, there was no visible parking lot in sight, but I managed to secure a spot along the roadside. The road was lined with cars, and a service truck hinted at preparations for an event, likely a wedding set to take place in the pavilion. This pavilion, situated at the heart of the park, rested on top of a mound. However, it was bustling with activity, dominated by Latino workers and other guests. Their presence made it difficult for me to explore this particular area. Opposite the pavilion, a pergola provided a delightful alternative. It offered a serene overlook of the airport field below and distant mountains, creating a captivating view that contrasted the intense summer heat. Further southwest within the park, I discovered yet another overlook area. Here, a few older gentlemen sought refuge from the scorching September sun, sitting on the hot concrete and gazing at Luken Field and the horizon beyond. It was a moment that seemed to embody reflection on the past, appreciation of the present, and contemplation of the future. As I ventured deeper into the park, I noticed a nature trail that led into a wooded area below. The temptation to explore was strong, but I opted to save it for another day. The park boasted a variety of amenities, including a children's playground, picnic tables, and grills. Families were making the most of these features, creating a lively and inviting atmosphere that I didn't wish to disturb. Overall, this park atop the hill offered a pleasant escape from the summer heat. The road leading to and within the park was well-shaded, making it an ideal location for a leisurely walk or hike any day of the week.

    Now: Nice place to sit and read. Also a very good playground. What this breaks down to is this: 1. I have already overused colons in this review. 2. This is one of the best parks to which to take children, as it has an excellent and, as the time of this writing, it has a superb playground, leafy surrounding, set of slides and smooth, child-friendly (in fact, perhaps, too friendly) slide, and there are usually quite a few other child around for outgoing sorts with which to mingle. There is also a lovely overview of Lunken Field which is a thing in its own right and a must for aviation afficionados. I also once experienced the delight of seeing broad board skaters taking advantage (with all do safety) of the decline to demonstrate their skills.

    This is my favorite park in the city of Cincinnati. If you can spell or pronounce “Tusculum”, head up the hill past the beautiful painted ladies, and the only entrance to the park will come into view. There are grass covered areas perfect for picnics, picnic tables, a gazebo and a FANTASTIC view of Cincinnati Lunken Airport (LUK) with a little observation area. The park is very quiet and very beautiful. It is like a smaller, private version of Ault park, without the annoyances. I love this place. If you bring your dog with you, make sure that you keep him on a leash.

    Wow! What a great park! Super shaded, we left the house and it said 84°, so shaded it felt like 70°. You can watch planes take off, super safe neighborhood too. So beautiful, thank you God :)

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

    It’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

    Great overlook views of the Ohio and Little Miami Rivers. The pavilion has a unique quality with stone work arches. It's two stories so you get above the trees. The view of the Ohio, appears to be to the west.

    A park from my childhood this place is a sight to see, from the authentic rock slide to the castle and playland this place is the spot! Your pets are welcome and there's more than enough space to have a great day with them. I plan on returning more and more as my daughter grows up!

  • 5/5 Edward M. 11 months ago on Google
    Not the biggest park but very pretty. LOTS of shade and a newer updated playground. Nice older stone building on the ground. A great river overlook and a spot where you can watch planes land and takeoff from Lunken Airport. One of my favorite parks in the city.

    Compare with Ault Park, here is much for family takes child come to have fun, playground area, it's a good place for taking city view and Cincinnati Municipal Airport.

  • 5/5 Kevin T. 10 months ago on Google

  • 5/5 Rachel S. 1 year ago on Google
    Beautiful overlook views and incredible playground. You can watch the planes land at Lunken (fave for little ones). Has bathrooms, trash cans.

  • 5/5 Paul V. 1 year ago on Google
    Gorgeous Park that I feel doesn't get the same attention as other parks in the area. Amazing views from the top of the hill. A great place for getting unique pictures too!

  • 5/5 Jonas L. 1 year ago on Google
    One of the coolest parks in Cincinnati, if only for the two overlooks; one of which overlooks Lunken Airport where you can enjoy watching smaller planes cruise around, and the other which overlooks the River. I like to stand here and practice Qi Gong with a view.

    There's plenty of trees to help shade the area and keep it cool. My kids loved the revolving swing and climbing rock. There's plenty of benches and tables around to use.

  • 5/5 Jessey K. 1 year ago on Google
    Been going here since I was little. Took my girls when they were little, and we still go to this day. Always clean and kept up. Even when vandalized it's taken care of quickly. Great place for prom photos, many weddings have been held here also.
