Park Description
Stanbery Park is named in honor of Brigadier General Sanford B. Stanbery who had his home on the park site and was the highest ranking officer from Hamilton County in World War I. The 125.509-acre park is located at Oxford Avenue, north of Corbly, in Mt. Washington. The first parcel of land was purchased in 1938.
The park features areas suited for picnics, band concerts and community gatherings, and a more rugged terrain with old and beautiful trees and a sparkling stream. The hiking trail, which extends to the Little Miami Scenic River Park on Elstun Avenue, is part of the National Trail System of the U.S. Department of the Interior. Along the Albert Shoop Trail, named in honor of Stanbery's caretaker who planted wildflowers for visitors to enjoy, you will find trillium, Dutchmen's breeches, several varieties of violets, Jack-in-the-pulpit, blood root, and celindin poppy.
Located in the park is a bronze statue of a boy reading, sculpted by Arthur Ivone. This World War I Memorial was moved to Stanbery Park from its former location near the water tower in Mt. Washington in 1940 when Stanbery Park was dedicated.
Park facilities include picnic tables, grills, open shelter, playground equipment, and softball field.
