Summit Park Great Lawn Winter Strolls & Observation Tower

About this adventure

Spread across 130 acres on the former site of the Blue Ash Airport, Summit Park is a vibrant, modern civic park renowned for world-class community amenities. In the winter months, Summit Park becomes a buzzing winter activity hub for families. Its sprawling Great Lawn and miles of paved multi-use trails offer flat, scenic stroller walking paths winding past tranquil bioswales and native savannas. The park's signature 150-foot Observation Tower features an elevator whisking families up to glass-enclosed viewing decks with breathtaking panoramic views reaching all the way to downtown Cincinnati's skyline. During winter, the park also operates a covered ice skating rink under the glass canopy. Afterwards, families warm up by modern outdoor gas fire pits or dine inside the park's family-friendly sit-down restaurants.
