We had so much fun visiting Lytle Park. The tulips were absolutely beautiful! Of course the real star was the playground. My daughter had a great time going up and down the slide until it was time for dinner. Beautiful park with great scenery and entertainment.

Serene park outside our hotel with an 11 ft bronze statue of Pres. Lincoln. It was commissioned by Pres. Taft with the Taft Museum in the background. It was placed to commemorate what would have been his 100th birthday. It's the only time I've seen him without a beard.

This is a gorgeous park tucked downtown in the heart of Cincinnati! It is almost hidden. It is very close to the Duke Convention Center and right across from the Taft Art Museum. They do have bathrooms in this location -- they do not have a large space, but there is at least one stall for both guys and girls.
The focal point of this park is the beautiful statue of Abraham Lincoln in the center of the park. It is the only statue of Abe Lincoln without his beard (by the way!). His massive presence draws your attention to the center of the park.
Lined with beautiful trees and a view of the city, this park is a great oasis from the tall building and bustling traffic. It is the perfect place to spend your lunch hour to get some fresh air.Helpful 2Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0 - Cindy G.Cincinnati, OH257510236623Nov 2, 2017
This is just a teeny tiny little park. Although small, it is PACKED with beauty!
I work from home and love to go have a drink at the Phelps bar, sit out on the front patio, and daydream amid the cherry trees! They also have a plethora of tulips in the Spring. Basically it's well landscaped and you're going to get a gorgeous view year round. There are also nice views of the Taft, and the city.
Only reason for -1 star, I would not suggest coming here for sports and/or picnics. It's not really set up for that. More beautiful than it is functional.Helpful 3Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0 - Jun 1, 2016
Nice park downtown to take a quick walk or maybe a lunch break. I stayed at the hotel across the street and meandered over to check it out. There's a statue of Lincoln sans beard which I don't think I've seen elsewhere. Check out the memorials and plaques too, worth a look if you're in the area.

Go see the only statue in the world that has Abraham Lincoln depicted without a beard, right here in Cincinnati. Directly across the street from the Taft Museum, Lytle park is a nice serene lawn with sidewalks, benches, and water fountains; perfect for a little getaway from downtown office jobbers for some fresh air, right near P&G HQ. Take your lunch outside @ Lytle Park!

タフトミュージアムの正面の公園。春は桜、冬はイルミネーションが楽しめる。広くは無いが、ちょっとした春の桜並木はお勧め。ミュージアムは日曜が無料なので、散歩にも丁度良い。
Although not wide park, it has beautiful cherry blossom! In winter season, you can enjoy illumination.Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - 1506782646Apr 24, 2013
This park is enchanting and surrounded by cool architecture. If you don't deliberately go out of your way to find it, you might have never passed through this area. It is flanked by the Taft Museum and Historic Guilford School (now business/offices). In the spring die tulpen und osterglocken look beautiful! There's also tons of meter parking, so check this out on a weekend when the meters are free!

Very cute little park. Great for a small break when you're downtown.
Always pretty, there are cherry trees blooming in April, tulips through spring, other flowers in the summer, golden tones through fall and now there are lights on trees and beautiful view on Xmas-decorated Taft museum!
Stay cautious after dark, though.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0
