Introduction
This project is intended to visit all the the parks in Cincinnati and Hamilton County OH and see what one are worth your time. Details of the parks can be found at Great Parks and Cincinnati Parks respectively. I have color coded each park based on my own evaluation. Red means you can skip it, green is a favorable recommendation, and finally orange is neutral. I hope this helps someone.
