This was a transcendent experience! It makes this native Cincinnatian swell with pride. I think, speaking historically, that Cincinnati benefited greatly from the influx in the 19th century of people from New York and other Eastern cities. Remember, Cincinnati eclipsed Chicago until the city fathers made the fateful, irrevocable error of "sticking with the river" instead of seeing the future was RAIL. Cincinnati has had a tough history with rails. Our own unfinished subway bears continued, if hidden, testimony, to that myopic tendency we have seemed to be plagued with. But such is NOT the case with our parks, I am more than happy to say. A splendid documentary and THANK YOU for posting!!
And Cincinnati benefited off the influences of Kentucky & The Virginias too with Upper Southern/Appalachian culture too. Alot of people came up here from the south for a better life to escape jim crow and poverty because Cincinnati was a boomtown in the early days. 💯
@@Rudolph_Manor Quite right Rudolph, and shame on me for not mentioning that, especially since my maternal Grandma came to Cincinnati from Hazard, KY to work in the factories during WWII. Once she got her feet on the ground she sent for my mom. Price Hill is still predominantly Appalachian in it's makeup. So, my amended comment is--- The Eastern influence gave the Queen City it's big institutions, Music Hall, etc and the gritty never say die folks of the hills and the holler of KY. and W. VA who gave the city it's work ethic (and let's not forget the Germans before them).

not investing in rail wasnt the issue, the issue was the hard undeniable fact that the people who "own" the country aka the only people are technically supposed to be allowed to serve in high government(rich europeans/european loyalists) decided their loyalty belonged to the ruling class of europe instead of the working class who built everything they profited from.. thats why it went from being absurdly unacceptable to pay workers less than what they'd need to remain alive to being the main mode of employment to expect them to not complain about only being compensated 1/10 the cost of living while producing literally 10 - 20x more profit than any workers before in history...
Cincyborn I live in Los Angeles and all of those parks look so green! (We live in drought conditions) Ault Park looks fabulous! We are hoping to make a move to Northern Kentucky... just across the river.... sometime next summer. Can't wait to come check out the area!
Fun fact, People plant paw paw tree seeds in all the Cincinnati parks, the fruit of paw Paws develop very quickly and the fruit is usually goes in days (and raccoons get them) The trees have grown rarer but recent efforts should yield "fruit" in a few years.

great doc!
Why no mention of Sharon Woods, Winton Woods, or Whitewater. Just wondering.
Those are Hamilton County Parks which are separate from Cincinnati City Parks.

Cincinnati has more Parks than a Korean phone directory.
can't wait to move there.
Mount Echo Park i live near that park i was there
I remember what I liked about living in Cincinnati was the people, not nature.

You type like you've been drinking. It must be embarrassing for you to be alive.
