Segway Of Ohio conducts 90-minute tours around Eden Park on their unique two-wheeled transportation devices.  Have fun tooling around the park while learning from an experienced guide.

Much appreciation should go to the city Park Board.

Cincinnati Park Board Director Willie F. Carden Jr., whom I’ve noticed likes to innovate in order to make things better, gave Jenkins the go ahead to roam Segway-mounted through the city’s parks. He also provided a closet to put them in at Eden Park, with an electrical outlet to charge them. For free.

Below is the tour brochure, and a 4:35 long video.

Forever Young Treehouses promotes the construction of universally accessible treehouses across the country. While accessible treehouses provide a memorable experience for everyone, we focus on treehouse construction for children and young adults with special needs who are routinely confronted with barriers to fun and play in their daily lives. An accessible treehouse removes these obstacles, bringing people of all abilities together and closer to nature.

In April 2007, a wheelchair-accessible project called Everybody’s Treehouse opened in Mount Airy Forest. Partnerships between the Cincinnati Parks Board, Home Depot, The Cincinnati Rotary, The Marvin Lewis Foundation as well as Drees Construction and the Cincinnati Homebuilder’s Association made the house possible. Not only is the treehouse ADA-compliant, it is very unique and very, very cool.

A stone’s throw from Hamilton, some 25 miles from downtown Cincinnati, lies a public park with monumental sculpture and an underground house.Pyramid Hill sprawls over 265 acres of rolling hills, man-made lakes, thick woodlands and butterfly-filled meadows. Overlooking the Great Miami River, it is a contemporary art museum outdoors – a place where visitors can hike or drive through natural galleries filled with the splendor of art.

More at Pyramid Hill Sculpture Park, the Enquirer, and Cincinnati USA.

CET conducted this interview with Harry Wilks, the park and museum’s founder and director in 2007.

The recently installed “Cincinnati” sign above the Sabin Cinergy Duke Convention Center lights up the night for road-weary travelers on I-75, as well as for the posh neighborhoods surrounding Price Hill. Some might say it’s dated and cheap, but I believe it to be unique and fun! And besides, people like giant signs. They take pictures of them for no reason. They’d take more of the Hollywood sign if they could see it through the smog.

I await the city to add a giant “Make” to the left and a giant “Weird” to the right of the existing sign.
