Park Facts:

Located amidst business and commercial development in southeast Hamilton, the Gilmore Ponds Interpretive Preserve is a nature lover’s paradise. Abundant wildlife calls this preserve home, giving visitors using the miles of hiking trails plenty of opportunities for nature observation and study. Seasonal flooding of much of the acreage provides for the wetland character of much of this preserve, which has long been a popular destination for area birders. The Ohio Department of Natural Resources has designated this park as one of its “Watchable Wildlife” viewing sites and Audubon Ohio has named it as an “Important Birding Area.”

The park is open daily from 8:00 a.m. until dark.
