Swaim Park

This park is great for running or relaxing. There is a path that starts near the parking area and goes around the pond, then winds up near the playground and over a bridge. Some days I see how many laps I can fast-​walk in an hour, and other times I find a bench near the water and get mindless!
The grounds are always well-​maintained with a beautiful variety of scrubs and trees. Most of the trees have been planted in honor of someone, and his/​her name and the species is on a brick at the base of each tree. There are also a few gazebos which are nice for picnics and parties.

This park is near my house and my girls-​3^rd and 6^th grade-​love to come here and play. It is cozy, not so big. There is a small pond which has a nice walking path around it. My dog and I walk around it while the girls play at the play ground.

This park was so charming and pretty! It was completely empty since it’s raining and cold, but I took a short walk to a geocache and loved it.

What a little gem !! My husband is here on business for a month, the kids & I have tagged along to make it a little bit like a vacation. I am glad we found this park to enjoy getting out of our hotel room :)

Beautiful park in the heart of old Montgomery. Situated on Cooper Road between Montgomery and Blue Ash.

I love this park. I live within walking distance and I used to come here all the time when I was little. It is always in very good condition. It has lakes to walk around and a cool little playground. An all-​around great park. I sometimes go for a run around there now and I still see many small people playing there. I occasionally play tennis there, but you can’t always get a court.
A nice place for young kids or a picnic on a nice warm day. Check it out!

Swaim Park is another great park in Montgomery, not far from Downtown Montgomery, but also close to Blue Ash. It is maybe the best in the area for a picnic, as it has two picnic shelters and plenty to do for people of all ages. When I was younger, my family attended a few Fourth of July and Labor Day picnics here.
In addition to the shelters there are two baseball fields and two tennis courts, a sand volleyball court, a basketball court, a soccer field, two horseshoe pits (do people actually play that?), and of course a playground and «tot lot.» There is also the «picturesque» Todd Pond (including geese and the occasional) along Cooper Road, which has a fountain in the middle and a gazebo behind.
Also along Cooper Road is the Wilder-​Swaim House, a Montgomery landmark, and the Swaim Lodge. The Swaim Lodge functions much like Dulle Park’s Terwilliger Lodge, but it is best for smaller functions. It too, is right near the park’s other features, so its guests aren’t limited to the indoor facility.
I feel that Swaim Park is the best choice in Montgomery for larger summer family outings, especially with younger kids, but it is always great for a game of basketball or tennis match for the older ones. The scenic pond and grassy hills really seem to make it what it is though.
