highland grove park

Highland Grove was a staple for entertainment in the northern Hamilton County area from the early 1800s through the 1930s. The park was actually located in Blue Ash and offered families a place to picnic, dance and to enjoy the rides. The park provided a viable alternative to Coney Island or Chester Park.

The park was initially owned by the Cincinnati Lebanon & Northern Railroad.
