Great Parks' founding destination.
Inspired by established county park systems, former Cincinnati Mayor Murray Seasongood led the movement for Great Parks' founding in 1930, then known as the Hamilton County Park Board. Plans to acquire large tracts of land soon followed, and by 1932, Sharon Woods opened to the public as Great Parks' first official destination. Boasting a rich geological history and wide-ranging recreational opportunities, it remains a generational fixture in the lives of Greater Cincinnatians.
