      I inadvertently checked into Washington Park Apartments, but that won't keep me from reviewing this beautiful downtown Cincinnati park.

      Washington Park is right on the Connector line, which makes it convenient to get to. It's also in close proximity to Music Hall, Memorial Hall, plenty of restaurants as well as the Vine Street OTR district. A parking garage below Washington Park (yes you can park under the Park) puts all these things in easy reach.

      Events are scheduled at the park year round.

      Add to all of these positives the beauty of the park itself.

      It's a shining beacon that helps draw people downtown. Love it!

      Washington Park isn't anything to write home about as parks go. That said, it's still a welcome green area inside the Cincinnati's urban expanse.

      For the most part, the park is clean and well kept; there are even park benches to sit on scattered throughout.

      There's a free parking lot for use by visitors; the entrance is on the street that the Music Hall is located on. The commuter train also makes a stop here.

      Beautiful downtown park with free community events all the time. They have something going on every day of the week during the summer, from Jazz on Monday at The Porch, their bar with plenty of covered seating, to Workout on the Green on Wednesdays. Follow them on social media to keep up or just come out for a stroll!

      Wow, this park is GORGEOUS. It was the final stop before a beer tasting on our walking tour of Over the Rhine. We learned about the bodies buried there and the headstones that remain.

      The landscaping is absolutely gorgeous, the stage is central and stunning. I'm from Florida and quite jealous of what a city asset this is.

      A splendid inner city park which is highly manicured and has a lot to offer. There is a garage beneath (though I wouldn't count on it if you haven't reserved a space), and the streetcar also goes by in both directions. The spectacular looking music hall is across the street, and many eateries are nearby. There are pregame parties for the soccer team, which is a terrible team but nonetheless somehow attracts spirited fans. Music and other events are frequent, but there are also plenty of benches, open green space, and playgrounds. I find it hard to spend a day in Cincinnati without at least passing through.

      WOW!! The upgrades are A-MAZING. You couldn't get near this park when I was a child. It's beautiful and perfect for everyone in the community. The dog park and the playground are great. I love the refreshment area and the prices aren't bad at all. Very reasonable.
      What an asset to this community. Good job, Cincy!

      What a great place to enjoy your day off! Sit and enjoy the weather; bring your kids to play in the water fountains; enjoy one of their many festivals or concerts; watch a movie after dark; grab a drink at the concession stand; reserve space for a wedding or party.
      Plus they have public bathrooms!

      Would return

      Washington Park is one of the bigger parks in Cincinnati. It's just north of downtown. Located in Over The Rhine. Close to Findlay Market. There's often something happening like a festival or a parade.

      It's not the prettiest in the city. It's still a lot better than it was several years ago. This place used to be overrun with homeless and it wasn't somewhere to bring a family and feel safe. Now it's much safer to wander around. There's all kinds of festivals throughout the year. City Flea is a monthly market. There's also lots to do in the areas around the park. It's close to Findlay Market. There's many restaurants and shops.

      It's pretty easy to find. It has a parking garage under it. There's also street level parking.
