What a hidden gem of a place! The curator stopped and chatted with us and really shared a passion around everything they have there. The bead exhibit was amazing. The kid loved the classic car drive in experience. Butterflies out the wazoo out on the paths. Just... Really amazing. Make sure to find overlook on a map and go there.

We only had enough time to hit one trail so we picked the Sleepy Hallow Trail. We will definitely be coming back to check out the rest of this park.

Great place to go on a walk, run, hike, or bike ride. Lots of multi-use trails, well maintained playgrounds and parks. Park is safe as well, however on my last visit there were notices posted about a rash of car break-ins. Dont leave valuables in sight in a vehicle. Take it or put it in the trunk.

Good paved trails. Great view of Cincinnati skyline. A good place to spend an afternoon.

Beautiful view of Cincinnati skyline from overlook. Plenty of other things to do as well.One downside is the one lane winding road with no shoulder and two-way traffic. Meeting a delivery truck going the opposite way is a bit concerning.

A great park! Nice paved trails. Well manicured public spaces. Absolutely gorgeous overlook. Amazing mountain bike trails!

Really beautiful and clean. Its only 4 stars because I found it a little difficult to navigate as an out-of-town, first time visitor who was alone. Had I not decided to stop at the quaint and informative museum, I would have never found the lookout point.

I enjoy Devou park there are fishing spots, a museum, places to jog and walk, a really great outdoor vibe. People are also friendly. Its a very large park it would take some getting used to but its worth the maneuvering.

I feel like Ive done a review on this park. It is by far the very best view (in my opinion) of my great city, Cincinnati. I have been many times and love it every time. The way it smells and feels in the spring, goodness. If you havent been there when the clouds are big and fluffy and its warm with a breeze, you havent lived. Its perfect. I have shared this park with many people in my life. I love it. I have many memories at Devou.

Devou has lots of short trails and interesting views PT Barnum kind of museum shelters. Not RedRiver but fun

Its a gem in the city. A beautiful park spread over rolling hills with a breathtaking view of the Cincinnati skyline. It also features challenging hiking trails. The golf course is great and features a new clubhouse and grille!

My pups favorite go-to park! Besides the cleanliness and friendly faces, the park is large with plenty of space for walks, runs, bicycling both road and off-road trails, and dog walking! Love the atmosphere of the area!

This is a hidden gem! Great place for a walk or run. And theres even bike rentals at the golf course. Theres some hiking/ mountain biking paths in whats called the back country. However theres a decent amount of just hiking trails. The bathrooms are kept clean by the park staff. Theres some great views at the Overlook. Which is behind the Drees pavilion. Fair warning it is easy to get turned around in the park. So keep Google maps on, or just ask someone walking around. Everyone Ive come across there is friendly to help!

What an awesome experience today was my second time there this year. I love all of the trails, there are some that are moderate and some that are challenging. A pretty good hike to do with the family or friends.

One of the most well maintained parks in the local tri-state area. For being in Covington, this park is HUGE! The park does get a bit busy around 5ish, but you can find the privacy in some of the hiking trials or mountain bike trails. I have yet to golf, but the course looks well taken care of with nice greens. Its a lovely place.

Drive thru all the time. While it is very nice, I think its more for the golfers than the people.

Devou Park is a big park, but has a great overlook of the Cincinnati skyline. Make sure to find the overlook pin in Maps to get to the right place.Theres a good spot at the overlook to take pictures, as well as picnic tables to eat if you want. You can see the football and baseball stadiums, as well as several bridges and the Ohio River.

Very disappointed! Im from Delaware and came to Kentucky with my wife and kids fror vacation and thought it would be nice to ride bikes together in the park. I call the bike rentals and they told me that I have to come in to choose our bikes because they have many to choose from but when I came in they only told me that they have an adult bike for rent but nothing to carry my 2 and 3 year old. They couldve told me that over the phone to avoid the trip

What a beautiful park. Clean, beautiful view at Memorial overlook, tons of outdoor things to do right in the city. I love urban parks and wish more people understood the recreational and educational opportunities available right nearby. I was there too early for the museum to be open, but hope to stop by next time I drive through!

Great place to sit back and relax. With a fantastic view of Cincinnati downtown from the Southwest direction, this is a place to come to enjoy a peaceful time on a weekend.There are benches where you can enjoy a meal with your family. I am not sure about any barbecue or grills since I didnt see any. In addition, there is a childrens play area with swings, slides etc where kids can have a great time. There are benches with shed right beside the childrens play area so that parents can keep a watch on kids.The parking has a good capacity and no charge so that is not a problem.Overall, a great place to spend some quality family time.

The play area near Drees Pavilion is perfect for a lazy afternoon of play. The kid friendly rock wall, the 3 baby swings, handicap swing, and 3 regular swings, monkey bars, double small slide and steep high slide allows kids of all ages to enjoy. There is a shelter with a bbq grill as well as a bathroom facilities near each other. Theres also a high, low, and doggie water fountain to keep cool. The view overlooking the Ohio is gorgeous and excellent for watching WEBN fireworks on the river.

Its so pretty and clean. There are many different places and play grounds to go to inside Devou Park. Its worth driving over to Ky. from Cincinnati to go here. I also recommend that you take a bottle of water and visit Gravity Hill while youre there to show the little ones how water will flow uphill ( you might also be amazed).

Beautiful park with some interesting attractions and a great view of Cincinnati.Big downside is there arent enough sidewalks/paths for walking everywhere. This is annoying because either side of the road in many areas is golf course golf course golf course.I recommend going, but you need to drive to multiple sites before you can park and walk around to others.
