About Great Parks of Hamilton County
Welcome to Great Parks of Hamilton County (formerly Hamilton County Park District). We are a non-profit organization that manages over 17,500 acres of parkland in the Greater Cincinnati area. Our mission is to preserve and protect natural resources while providing outdoor recreational opportunities for all ages.
Our parks offer a wide range of activities including hiking, fishing, camping, picnicking, golfing, boating and much more. With over 80 miles of trails throughout our parks system, visitors can explore the beauty of nature on foot or by bike. Our parks also feature several lakes and rivers where visitors can enjoy fishing or boating.
One unique aspect of our park system is our commitment to environmental education. We offer a variety of programs for children and adults that focus on conservation and sustainability. Our educational programs include guided hikes, wildlife observation tours, bird watching classes and much more.
Great Parks also offers several facilities for events such as weddings or corporate gatherings. Our venues include historic buildings like the Winton Woods Harbor Clubhouse or modern facilities like the Sharon Centre at Sharon Woods Park.
We take pride in maintaining our parks to the highest standards possible. Our staff works tirelessly to ensure that each visitor has an enjoyable experience while preserving natural habitats for future generations.
In addition to traditional park activities, Great Parks offers several unique experiences such as zip lining at Camp Kern in Warren County or horseback riding at Winton Woods Riding Center.
Our commitment to sustainability extends beyond just education programs; we have implemented several green initiatives throughout our park system including solar panels on some buildings and electric vehicle charging stations in select parking lots.
Overall, Great Parks of Hamilton County offers something for everyone with its diverse range of activities and commitment to preserving natural resources. Whether you're looking for a peaceful hike through nature or an exciting adventure with friends and family - we've got you covered!
