Cincinnati and the surrounding region frequently deliver when it comes to scenic views, but itâs the spring blooming season that really gives the areaâs natural beauty a chance to shine. In fact, in 2019, the city was ranked among the best places in the world to see cherry blossom trees. The bloom doesnât last long, so while thereâs still time, take a trip to these five Cincinnati parks to take in the beauty of the season.

Ault Park
In the 1930s, 1,000 Japanese cherry blossom trees were gifted to the city. Since then, Cincinnati Parks staff and the Japan America Society have teamed up and planted additional trees to keep the spirt of Ault Parkâs Weeping Cherry Grove alive. Along with the assortment of cherry tree groves, this lush 224-acre space also features nature trails, a pavilion, various gardens, and a spot to view the scenery from above. The picture-perfect views make it an ideal location for public and private events and family portraits. Picnic shelters and playground equipment complete the list of amenities to ensure there is something for everyone.
