Sharon Woods is one of the gems of the Hamilton County Park District. I have mostly walked around it, but it is also good for picnics.
I am actually looking to move to the area; as my s.o. lives in the area. So we've been venturing a lot with the kids to get to know the area, and he brought us here. We loved it, I can't wait to go back!
Wish I had known how amazing it was before we arrived. We didn't have time to rent a peddle boat or do the museum. Very clean and pretty. Son loved the big outdoor playground and small splash area.
My family thoroughly enjoyed a couple hours-long visit to Sharon Woods park during our travels to the Blue Ash area. There's a nice playground and refreshment stand just off the road. The lake is beautiful, with paddle boats and plenty of ducks. The map showed plenty more activities, which we plan to take advantage of if/when we're back in the area. If you have a couple hours to spend somewhere and you want to let the kids have some fun (and burn off some energy), then I recommend Sharon Woods park.
This park has green, beautiful walking paths around mature trees with multiple creeks and small waterfalls. It's perfect for a slow nature stroll or a fast-paced jog. There are playgrounds for small kids, a place to get ice cream and lunch, fishing on the piers, and my favorite-- the paddle boats you can rent. All day parking is just three dollars and paddle boat rental is quick and cheap, with provided life jackets if you want them.The park is dog friendly, kid friendly, and a great place to spend an afternoon. They're open from sun rise to sun set so the hours fit your schedule. Had a wonderful day there!
This place is huge and includes a lake with paddle boats and an awesome free water park area for the kids. You can walk for days through the trees, there are pavilions everywhere, take a picnic lunch. The river is out of a story book, as is most of the scenery. There is also an indoor play area here which we didn't use as there was a large group of day camp kids there, but it looked great. There is food on site by the paddle boat rentals, VERY reasonably priced. You need to plan on spending a few hours and relaxing at this one, it's amazin!
Nice walking path. Quiet, peaceful. Good park to ride bikes, too. There is a really picture-perfect lake to rent boats. Very nice campground.
What can I say about this park, one of my favourite place to spend time alone. it has a beautiful trial and lovely creeks. The parks looks very beautiful during fall.
Our family has gone to Sharon Woods for many events, Mother's Day, Memorial Day, and the upcoming holiday, Father's Day. Every time we go we always have a place to gather together and have even been able to snag a shelter with no reservation! The boats are SO fun and there is always enough of them for our whole family!! There is always 22 of us!! Great trail to walk on and there is so much nature to take in!! Highly recommend Sharon Woods!!
Walk the George trail to see waterfall and play in creek. Look for fossils and crawdads. Kids loved it 12,10 and 5 year old had a blast playing in water by waterfalls. Very cheap fun for three dollars to get in park.
