Great Parks continues to monitor the COVID-19 situation closely to determine timing of cancellations, closures and openings. Note that information listed here is subject to change as conditions change. Please check back for updates.
Following the removal of most COVID-19 restrictions in Hamilton County, Great Parks is pleased to reopen most facilities and offer most of our services to guests. However, the events over the past year have forced us to make tough decisions. Due to current hiring challenges, reduced staffing and budget concerns, some facilities and services are not available.
What is currently closed?
- Archaeology Museum at Shawnee Lookout
- Indoor playgrounds
- Wet playgrounds
What services are currently not available?
- Children’s birthday parties at Parky’s Farm, Glenwood Gardens, Sharon Woods and Woodland Mound
- Wet playground birthday parties at Winton Woods and Woodland Mound
These are challenging times. The cancellations and closures this spring disrupted the earned revenue Great Parks depends on to secure widespread access to wonderment and tranquility. You can make a difference with a gift to our philanthropic partner, Great Parks Forever.
If you are interested in sponsorship opportunities, please contact Director of Corporate Relations Julie Bernzott.
