On a scorching summer day, I visited Alms Park perched atop a hill, known for its picturesque views and serene surroundings. As I approached, there was no visible parking lot in sight, but I managed to secure a spot along the roadside. The road was lined with cars, and a service truck hinted at preparations for an event, likely a wedding set to take place in the pavilion. This pavilion, situated at the heart of the park, rested on top of a mound. However, it was bustling with activity, dominated by Latino workers and other guests. Their presence made it difficult for me to explore this particular area. Opposite the pavilion, a pergola provided a delightful alternative. It offered a serene overlook of the airport field below and distant mountains, creating a captivating view that contrasted the intense summer heat. Further southwest within the park, I discovered yet another overlook area. Here, a few older gentlemen sought refuge from the scorching September sun, sitting on the hot concrete and gazing at Luken Field and the horizon beyond. It was a moment that seemed to embody reflection on the past, appreciation of the present, and contemplation of the future. As I ventured deeper into the park, I noticed a nature trail that led into a wooded area below. The temptation to explore was strong, but I opted to save it for another day. The park boasted a variety of amenities, including a children's playground, picnic tables, and grills. Families were making the most of these features, creating a lively and inviting atmosphere that I didn't wish to disturb.
Overall, this park atop the hill offered a pleasant escape from the summer heat. The road leading to and within the park was well-shaded, making it an ideal location for a leisurely walk or hike any day of the week.

I have visited this park since tge age of 5. I enjoyed it then, as a young mother, and now, at the age of 72, I still enjoy it. I had so much fun with my granddaughter and great grandson. There's so much to do and I never have to spend a dime

Attended a celebration of life for a departed friend here. The extraordinary beauty of the hilltop pavilion was the perfect setting. There is now a tree and a bench across from the pavilion in her honor. Breathtaking views from up there and beautiful facility!!!!

Wow! What a great park! Super shaded, we left the house and it said 84°, so shaded it felt like 70°. You can watch planes take off, super safe neighborhood too. So beautiful, thank you God :)

Improved paths and the park has that 'taken care of' look

This small park is really peaceful, as everything in Mt. Adams is. The view is a bit better from the pavilion area. There is a fun playground with swings and plenty of space to have a picnic.

Was really awed by the make-up of the park.it was really well done

Great overlook views of the Ohio and Little Miami Rivers. The pavilion has a unique quality with stone work arches. It's two stories so you get above the trees. The view of the Ohio, appears to be to the west.

This place is incredible. I went cuz I've been clean 1.5 yrs today. I have a lot of emotions attached to this place. But I went and watched the sun set today. It was beautiful.

Such an incredible park.. clean, beautiful, well maintained. Had great times there to play volleyball and had a date with my love there! Great for all occasions

So peaceful! A good moutain lookup point with a cool view of Ohio river and lunken domestic airport. Nice to spend early morning freshness or chill in the evening😊

Beautiful views, beautiful landscapes, great structures, confusing trails. Please, mark these trails better! You think you're following one and then you are suddenly on a residential street outside of the park.

Alms Park the beautiful. Lovely place for a walk and to relax. Plenty of benches around the area. Breathtaking sites.

Beautiful hilltop park with amazing overlooks (Ohio river and city airport), playground, gazebo and castle-like building.

This is my childhood park! I wanted my kids to feel how I did at their age! We had the best time! I actually had to carry my little girl away crying because she kept wanting to slide just one more time lol.

I enjoy sitting on the bench there and watching the little planes take off. It's so peaceful there.

Lovely, lazy little place to spend the day relaxing with a good book, walking the dog, having a picnic, or taking the kids to the park.

I have been to Alms Park many times in my career as a Cincinnati wedding photographer! It is such an intimate little park, and it's gorgeous in the fall! I recently did an Italian themed vow renewal there (the couple had honeymooned in Italy) and it was the perfect setting, with the stone walls. Can't wait to book another event there!

Has a good view of the river

Very beautiful all year round, has a playground and a big building that is amazing to take pictures in
