Bettman Nature Preserve is a beautiful nature preserve area along Beech Lane, originally donated to the Cincinnati Park Board in 1977 in honor of Arthur M. Bettman, an area civic and business leader who was best known as the president of the Liberty Cherry Company. The ADA-accessible nature preserve strives to preserve the natural beauty of the city's Evanston and Hyde Park neighborhoods, stretching across several acres of native woodland areas and showcasing significant populations of flowers and shrubs. Visitors can also peruse the holdings of the Bettman Natural Resource Center, which serves as the home of the City of Cincinnati Parks system's library and archives and the headquarters for the system's nature education program. The park's library is open to the public by appointment, with regular staff hours offered throughout the afternoon hours on Mondays.
