Cincinnati & Hamilton County Parks

Introduction

This project is about visiting all the the parks in Cincinnati and Hamilton County, OH. It is intended as a quick reference for users and they can see if a specific park is worth their 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.
