Imagine adding 27 more acres to one of Cincinnati's most iconic parks.

Together, we have the opportunity to expand Mt. Storm Park—protecting greenspace, preserving views, creating new opportunities for recreation, and ensuring this treasured park remains a place for future generations to gather, explore, and connect with nature.

Learn more about the Mt. Storm Park Expansion Campaign and how you can help make this once-in-a-generation opportunity a reality.

Sometimes, a quiet start can make all of the difference.

Before the excitement of Smale Family Fun Day begins, we offer a low-sensory hour from 9:00-10:00 a.m., so families who benefit from a calmer environment can enjoy the event at their own pace.

Join us for hands-on activities, free books and bike helmets, carousel rides, and a welcoming experience on July 2, 2026, at the Schmidlapp Event Lawn in Smale Riverfront Park.
