Hopkins Park

Hopkins Park is a small urban green space located in the Mt. Auburn neighborhood of Cincinnati, Ohio. Covering an area of 0.895 acres, this compact park provides a peaceful retreat within the city landscape.

The park's history dates back to January 18, 1866, when local merchant Lewis C. Hopkins donated the land to the city. Hopkins stipulated that the park should remain free of buildings and be "tastefully laid out and planted with trees and shrubbery." This original vision has been largely maintained over the years, preserving the park as a natural oasis in the urban environment.

Situated on a hillside at the intersection of Auburn and Dorchester Avenues, Hopkins Park offers visitors a serene setting for relaxation and light recreation. The park's elevated position provides pleasant views of the surrounding area, making it a favored spot for local residents seeking a quiet moment outdoors.
