Neighborhood Spotlight: Forest Park

Thanks to The Gibler Team for giving us a peek into what makes Forest Park so unique -- click on the video above!

Not only is Forest Park the second largest city in Hamilton County, Ohio, with about 20,000 residents. Forest Park is also home to an active community of 350 businesses.

Located 14 miles north of downtown Cincinnati and 35 miles south of Dayton, Forest Park has about 5,500 single family houses, with a range of architectural styles, almost all of which are located on quiet residential streets and cul-de-sacs.

Forest Park lies within two public school districts: Northwest Local and Winton Woods City School District. Residents also have access to many private, parochial, and vocational schools in the area. Right next to to the Winton Woods’ new $51.4 million North Campus building is Central Park, which is now home to the largest ninja course and zipline playground in Ohio. It just opened a few months ago and it’s awesome! Open to the public and free for all to enjoy!

This is one of five great parks in the city, but Central Park is the largest, complete with walking trails, shelter and green space. It’s also where the city hosts its annual Jazz in the Park event, Cincinnati’s longest-running jazz festival.

The newly remodeled Forest Park Senior Center is not only a great place for area seniors to enjoy activities and community, but it also features meeting spaces and and a event venue for weddings, showers and other gatherings. And, coming soon, Forest Park is getting yet another upgrade with a brand new $19 million library set to open Summer 2024, so be on the look out for that!
