Play and Relax at Smale Riverfront Park 100 W. Mehring Way, The Banks Cincinnati is home to tons of amazing parks and playgrounds, but Smale Riverfront has to be the crown jewel of them all with its riverfront and Roebling Bridge views, proximity to even more attractions, like Carol Ann’s Carousel, Great American Ball Park, Andrew J Brady Music Center and The Banks’ restaurants. At the park, your kids can play with the interactive foot piano; climb, jump and slide on the whimsical playground; or run through the in-ground splash pad. You can also rent a Red Bike, or bring your own, to peddle along the riverfront trail from downtown to Theodore M. Berry International Friendship Park in the East End, stopping for a picnic and more playground adventures at Sawyer Point. Or, head up to the Purple People Bridge and cross the river into Kentucky for even more family fun at Newport on the Levee. Photo: Scott Dittgen
