We were staying in town and decided to stop by on way out. If you have little ones it's def worth the drive for them to play on the massive structure and splash pad. Beautiful view of the river and an clean environment.
Such a beautiful playground and big enough, that parents can play with their children on it. The splash pad, I'd a great thing too, we absolutely loved it
Fantastic playground! Splash pad, beautiful view of Ohio River and bridge that is lit up at night with multi colors. Lots of seating, restrooms, walking distance to nearby restaurants. Dog on leash friendly. Non smoking. Very well done POW MIA Memorial.
Beautiful riverfront park with a huge playground and splash pad. Lots of seating around for parents. Some, but not a ton of shaded area. Concession stand and excellent view of the Ohio River. Huge bug, turtle, frog and other figures hidden throughout the park. Best of all, it’s free!
It was our first time visiting Smothers Park. This is a place that I will put on my list of places to visit again .I don't have young children but that playground is the most awesome one that I have ever seen .The view of the river and the bridge are amazing from Smothers Park .There are lots of statues and sculptures to admire .Also noted are the restaurants and hotels less than a block away.I was very impressed by this riverfront park .
What a great riverfront. We had our Golden Doodle with us on a Sunday in early April. So nice taking a stroll up and down the river.
Absolutely beautiful, well maintained park. We visited on a Monday evening about 6 pm, and it was not crowded at all- granted it was close to 95* still, but a nice wind blowing. There is a HUGE play structure, and within it are areas specific for different aged children. The child I was with was 8 so she was in the “Fox” play areas. There were 3 Fox play areas and let me tell you, some of that climbing equipment was challenging for me! I thoroughly enjoyed my time on the play set as did my much younger friend. The ground is cushioned and the equipment was clean and graffiti free. Walking along the water, there were many, many different types of seating available. From standard plantar wall seating to beautiful metal swings, to really cool metal boxes, plenty of shaded and uncovered seating. We walked just about the whole length of the park and it was all very clean- no litter, no graffiti. Should mention the beautiful splash pad- looked very refreshing on this hot evening. We enjoyed our time at this lovely park and plan on coming back to enjoy the play set and concession stand soon!
Beautiful landscape garden with kids adventure trails. Ample seating in front of the river flowing. Walking trails. Light decorations after the twilight. Being g week days, perhaps food stalls were closed. Nice place for si gle/ couple or families.
