The Cincinnati Park Board manages the City of Cincinnati’s parklands. The management vision for Cincinnati Parks is for them to be clean, safe, reliable, green and beautiful. Park properties constitute over 5,000 acres, which amounts to approximately 10% of the City’s total land area. Parklands consist of 5 regional parks, 70 neighborhood parks, 34 natural areas, 5 neighborhood nature centers, 30 sites managed by the Cincinnati Recreation Commission, 5 parkways, 16 scenic overlooks and 65 miles of hiking & bridle trails.
Specialized park property includes the Cincinnati Zoo, Pioneer Cemetery, Victory Parkway Fields, Krohn Conservatory and Theodore M. Berry International Friendship Park on the downtown riverfront. Park Board responsibilities extend to managing the City’s non-park natural resources, including Urban Forestry’s 80,000 street trees, and select highway green spaces and neighborhood gateways. Cincinnati Parks offers outstanding outdoor settings and unique facilities for leisure activities, nature education, floral exhibits, social functions, and more. Explore Cincinnati Parks today!
