Eden Park!

Eden Park is located just outside of downtown, between Mt. Adams and Walnut Hills.  It has many wonderful amenities and something for everyone.  Let's start with the views.  Eden park has two main magnificent views overlooking the Ohio River and Northern Kentucky.  One is Mirror Lake and the other is by Twin Lakes.  Speaking of lakes, Eden park has two awesome lakes!  Mirror Lake has a mural on the bottom and the Bettman Fountain shooting through the middle.  Twin Lakes was once an old rock quarry, where you can now feed ducks, launch a boat or just sit and enjoy the view. 

Eden Park also offers some super tourist hotspots all in the same place.  You can catch an entertaining play at Playhouse in the Park, stroll through the Cincinnati Art Museum (which is FREE), explore tropical plants and butterflies at the Krohn Conservatory. 

The park also has historical features that have been around since the late 1800's.  Eden Park used to house the Cincinnati Resevoir.  It was 12 acers and held 96 million gallons of water.  The Pumping Station and Water Tower still remain as beautiful works of architecture.  The Elisnore Gate or Tower was designed by Charles Hannaford, who was said to have Hamlet's Castle in mind.  It housed city water mains. 

What else does Eden Park have?  Picnic Areas and swings, of course!  It's one of the best picnic spots in town, whether you need a table or just a blanket.  When your finished picknicing you can meander up to the President's Tree Grove and through the breath-taking Hinkle Magnolia Garden.  It's also a beautiful spot to get married. 

All of these featureas and ammenities make for one eye-candied run through a Cincinnati Park.  But wait there's more.  Some private organizations or groups utilize the Seasongood Pavilion and perfom concerts or plays. 

Eden Park is quite an outstanding peice of land in Cincinnati.  It's jam-packed full of sites, monuments, lakes and more.  If you are new to Cincinnati, its a must see!  If you are from Cincinnati, don't take it for granted.  Get out there and enjoy it!
