Great Parks for the Kids and Photo Ops Too.
I posted another request looking for places that I can take my kids and also get great use of my new camera. I had thought of a park, but I was hoping to get a good list of the parks in the area. Of course there is Eden Park, Dvou Park (Covington KY), Bellevue Beach park (Bellevue KY), Chamberlin Park (Deer Park OH)

Winton Woods on Winton Road is great! check out hamiltoncountyparks.org
My daughter loves the water area at Winton Woods! It's great for kids of all ages and only cost $1. We also feed the ducks on the lake with popcorn and they also can take a boat ride for only $3 that is excellent. Good luck.

A great park to let the kids run around in plus...get great photo ops is Sawyer Point on the river. The have 2 playgrounds. One is your typical jungle gym kind and the other is an all inclusive one. The all inclusive is great for the young, the handicapped and the older ones too. There are swings for handicap children of all ages, plus ramps. It is also interactive. It's also nice to walk along the river. I got some awesome shots of my kids down there just recently.

I do weddings on the weekends...The Manor House Reception Hall in Mason is a great place for photos. They have beautiful gardens. And there is Ault Park in Hyde Park. There is a nice pavillon. I live near Winton Woods Park in Greenhills and Sharon Woods Park in Sharonville are also great parks. Both have cute indoor play spaces too for rainy days.

Hi, C. --
If you haven't been to Highfield Discovery Gardens yet, you definitely should go. It's a nature park and playground designed for kids. I think it's $30/year for a family membership for 4, and they have activities and fun events. It's a beautiful place with a lot of "photo op" spots, in my opinion. It's attached to Glenwood Gardens, just off of I-75.
Here's the link:

Enjoy!
