Rapid Run Park spans approximately 50 acres throughout Cincinnati's Price Hill neighborhood, originally coined as Lick Run Park in reference to the region's indigenous populations and the early European trade route Lick Run Valley, located at the site of the city's present-day Queen City Avenue. The park is anchored around a picturesque shallow lake, which makes a great spot for sailing toy boats throughout the warmer months. An historic picnic pavilion, constructed in 1941, was designed by Tietig and Lee and features an open arcade central area and lower wings structured in a U shape. Hiking paths traverse the park's hilly terrain, including paved walkways. Other park amenities include a children's playground, baseball diamonds, and day-use picnic sites.
