Both within the Cincinnati city limits and in our suburbs, locals are making green space and parks a priority. Cincinnatians love our urban downtown, but we also love the open space and natural beauty of the wide variety of parks that are scattered throughout our region. Many adjacent cities and neighborhoods are also making strides to ensure generations will have plenty of undisturbed nature to experience, one of which is the city of Lebanon. Just north of Cincinnati, Lebanon has been developing the unique Miller Ecological Park, and it continues to grow in size and features. This little-known park has something for everyone and is definitely worth a visit.

Miller Ecological Park first opened in 2013 as a City of Lebanon park.

The location of this property is ideal, as it's within walking distance of multiple Lebanon schools and is along the city's bike path.
The park was created as an ecological one, meaning that the natural features of the park would be left as undisturbed as possible.

The park has been planned to allow for the natural beauty, landscape, plant life, and wildlife to continue to thrive and be the main feature of the acreage.
The park continues to grow and add features, but there's plenty to enjoy right now.

One of the most popular activities are the walking trails, which take you through different sections of the park.
There's a picturesque mile-long wildflower trail that takes you around a meadow and beautifully changes throughout the year.

Another one-mile trail takes you past many of the active features of the park and a shorter 0.67-mile trail takes you around a more wooded area. Since they are all manageable distances, you can really enjoy them all in one visit.
