When the weather heats up, it’s time to head for the pool to splash and cool off all afternoon. Cincinnati has several great water parks, but there’s one old-school park that’s been a favorite for decades, and it’s the most fun you’ve had in ages.
Welcome to Coney Island Amusement Park! This magical place for family fun opened in 1886, and it’s been entertaining Cincinnati residents and visitors ever since.

This pool is the perfect place to cool off. Swimmers of all ages and abilities can splash and play all day long.
