Tall trees shade the picnic tables, swings and slide.
In case of rain, a graceful stone building provides both shelter and a view of the lake through its arched windows. That lake is still one of the best places in Cincinnati to try out a toy boat. If the boat should get away, ripples from the fountain will carry it back to shore. The paved pathways in Rapid Run Park wander up and down hills, past the shelter, and around the lake. The ball diamonds wait for impromptu games, deliberately kept available for informal use.
