What a fantastic finish to Play in the Park’s 2026 season!🥳

CHEERS to Estrada do Sol and Cincy Brazil Samba who filled the park with Brazilian music and dance. Their colorful and soulful presence set the stage for extra fun!

The crowd surged, the grill and hot dog cart served up hundreds of burgers and dogs, new books were shared, PIP bracelets were created, bounces in the bounce house were endless, and a community of welcoming friends and neighbors gathered. This is the spirit of Play in the Park!

SPECIAL recognition to our evening sponsor, Cincinnati Parks Foundation, represented at the park by Colleen O’ Connor, and our season sponsor, Greater Cincinnati Foundation.

BRAVO to all the volunteers who made the evening seamless with your enthusiasm and energy!

WATCH for an upcoming post with our year end survey and the opportunity to share details of your experiences of and hopes for Play in the Park!

Thanks again to everyone who joined us for the finale and the entire 2026 season, now, enjoy the final days of summer!☀️

PERFECT is the best way to describe the evening with Jake Speed and The Freddies at Play in the Park on July 22!

Following days of storms and flooding, perfect weather arrived, a perfectly amazing band took the stage, and we enjoyed the most perfect gathering of neighbors, friends, and fans in our beautiful neighborhood park!

Perfect photos and videos tell the story!

VERY BIG thanks to Jake and The Freddies for bringing on the joy!

WOWZA to our volunteers from CINFED, who tirelessly served empanadas and organized games with kids!

KUDOS to Pleasant Ridge Nature Advocates led by Erik Brueggemann, Hillary Wood and team, who cleaned out a ‘not at all perfect’ flooded area in the park’s wetland valley!

BRAVO to PRCC for sponsoring this perfect evening!
