Sometimes good things come in small packages. This tried-and-true adage applies to many different things, but it’s particularly true when it comes to landscapes here in the Paris of America. Our bustling landscape is broken up by several small yet stunning parks, and one of the most scenic parks in Cincinnati is Rapid Run Park. It is petite but shockingly beautiful, and its roots in local history are rather interesting. Pack some bug spray and sunglasses, because you’ll want to spend all day enjoying the great outdoors at this scenic destination.

In the urban Price Hill neighborhood of Cincinnati, there's a quaint public park awaiting your visit.
