Buttercup Valley Preserve is a gorgeous 89-acre nature preserve in Cincinnati's Northside district, connected to the nearby Parkers Woods preserve as part of a contiguous green space area accessible via connecting trails. The preserve protects a forested region that has been undeveloped since Ohio's pioneer days, with many trees throughout the area aged over 200 years old. It was originally established in 1973 as a gift from the Greater Cincinnati Tree Council, dedicated on Arbor Day of the following year. Further donations in 1974 expanded the preserve to its current size of 25.6 acres. In 1979, the park's Buttercup Valley Trail was designated as a United States National Recreation Trail. Attractions accessible via the park's trails include the Spring Grove Cemetery and the Flats meadow prairie habitat.
