Cincinnati Playground Review

So..if you live in Southwest Ohio, chances are a magazine comes to your house every month or so full of advertisements and coupons. The Waynesville Fall Fest has been featured on the cover of this magazine and it caught my attention. This fall I decided to stop with “We should check that out!” and actually checked it out….and WOW. It is truly a premiere Autumn event in this area. Admission Admission is currently 13 dollars for adults, 11 dollars for […]

Monroe Bicentennial Commons 250 Jerry Couch Blvd, Middletown, OH 45044 This park is truly a hidden gem. It’s not visible from the main road. If you don’t know it’s there – you are never going to just stumble upon it. So I am here to tell you “THIS PARK IS HERE!”. I love amusement parks. I love visiting them, reading about them, telling others about them – and this park was built on the grounds of the old Americana amusement […]

I love Halloween. It’s my favorite day of the entire year and I milk the entire month of October for every ounce of spooky fall fun that I can get. Year after year – one of my favorite traditions continues to be a visit to Entertrainment Junction in West Chester. We’ve had passes for several years, which I believe to be well worth the money for children under the age of 10, but there are two times out of the […]

Trenton Community Park 440 Dell Dr, Trenton, OH 45067 While this park is not new – the playground was recently gutted and completely replaced in early 2022. And the refurbishment is very well done and makes this park worth a visit! A True Community Park I want to start off this review with what is my absolute favorite thing about Trenton Community Park. It really is a park that serves the community – living up to it’s name. While I […]

It’s no secret that I’m a big fan of Entertrainment Junction and one of my favorite events on their calendar is the Jack O’Lantern Junction! If you’re only ever going to visit this place once – October is a great time to do so as the place is totally immersed in fall fun. When Entertrainment Junction does something, they don’t just do it – it’s full effort theming. Not only is there a separate Halloween set-up here for the month […]

Pine Hill Lakes Park 211 Kings Mills Rd, Mason, OH 45040 While this park isn’t new – (you can see my review for the old playground here if you want to compare to the new and improved version) – the playground equipment is 100% brand new and ready for exploration having just opened Summer of 2021. Let’s start with the most important information first – THIS PLAYGROUND IS 100% FENCED IN AND GATED. While this is a welcome feature at […]

Kacie Jane Park 525 West Lytle-Five Points Road Springboro, OH 45066 “Kacie Jane Park, established in 2019, was made possible through the generous donation of the Hausfeld Family who wanted to honor and remember Tom and Kacie Hausfeld who passed away in a plane crash.” That’s a great way to honor a loved one – to bring a little slice of happiness in the world for families to gather and enjoy. This playground is nothing short of phenomenal and worth the […]

Kid Clubhouse 865 W. Central Ave Springboro, OH 45066 Okay, I admit – Kid Clubhouse is not in Cincinnati, but it’s a quick trek up I-75 and only about 20 minutes North from Liberty Township/West Chester so I think it’s fair game for this review page. The PlayStructure The play structure at Kid Clubhouse is fairly standard. It has some bumpy ramps to climb, a triple side, an enclosed slide, a few crawl through tunnels and a few extra funsies […]

It’s no secret that I am a big fan of Rentschler Forest (See my original review here). It’s a fun little playground with an absolutely beautiful backdrop and to encourage people to explore, they have set up a kid friendly challenge along one of the more popular trails here – The Cascades Trail.   This challenge is a joint effort by MetroParks and Cincinnati Children’s Hospital to get kids to not only be active but to enjoy and appreciate the […]
