Burnet Woods — Attraction in Cincinnati

I lived in Clifton by Ludlow Ave and went to Burnet Woods daily with my dogs, on a run, or just to “escape” the city. The park itself is really beautiful, but it’s a bit tainted by the people who frequent it. There’s normally a group of people who sit by the fountain near the entrance of the park who will not hesitate to make unwarranted comments or stare at you if you are a woman.

On a good sunny day, this is a perfect spot for having a picnic with a group of 5-10 people. You can play games, do small hikes, rest on the grass.
