I still have some cruising boards of different styles, from ‘60s style sidewalk surfers (similar to penny boards, but higher quality) to fully modern carving style boards (Original Skateboards). I’ve been skating around Cincinnati since the mid ‘70s. Lots of places have come and gone. The Anderson park seems very family friendly, and good for all levels. Just try to keep your kids in pads and helmets. After it all, I’ve come around full circle, and right back to where I started, just cruising the neighborhood sidewalks.
My friend Randy Brown is very involved in the Cincy skateboarding community. He actually built a small skateboard "park" in his backyard, and has been one of the people working to create more skateboarding parks in the city.
I know the push right now is the replace the playground under the Big Mac bridge (which was set on fire by miscreants, closing the I-275 bridge for 100 days) with a skateboard park instead.
When it's not too crowded that stretch of parks (Yeatman, Smale, TM Berry Friendship and so on) would be a nice place to skate. I'm done with skateboards and inline skates but I do roll through there on my bike occasionally.
I think both could work there. We never went before it burned, but it looked nice. There are a lot of options here, considering. We'll see how far they progress. For now, I am happy to just "board" alongside.

Good advice! Hope you enjoyed the video since you know the spots.

I still remember my first CCS blank and the excitement of getting the newest catalog in the mail.
Good heavens! Tristate orthopedists no doubt will be delighted to make your acquaintance.
