    Love GABP. Lots of parking in garage around the park. You can purchase parking when you purchase your tickets. Tickets are viable in the Ballpark app. Lots of good options in the park. Fun games to play prior to the game. Typical opening time us 1.5 hours prior to game time but if it differs it will be posted in the Cincinnati Reds website. We always have fun at this ballpark.

    Stadium 26/30. Did a Memorial Day weekend baseball trip to knock out some more stadiums on my road to see all 30. My Cardinals were in town, so that was a bonus. I planned on seeing 2 games here, but Sunday got rained out. I did get to catch Saturdays night game. I liked this stadium a lot! The stadium has great views from anywhere you stand/sit. I got a ticket in the upper deck right past 3rd base. That's usually my preferred seating area. You can see the whole field including the pitches pretty well, too. You also have a great view of the river from this stadium. Very peaceful! I liked how the stadium felt kind of "smaller". Ushers and staff were very friendly and they have a bunch of cool statues on the way into the park. Unfortunately, my Cardinals lost in 11 innings that night, but it was a great game, and I really enjoyed my time at the stadium. Parking was a couple blocks down the road on 4th/Race St via Park Whiz for only about $10.00. Can't beat that.

    What great event with the Savanah Bananas and the Indianapolis Clowns playing a weekend series at Great American Ballpark here in Cincinnati. Wild player antics before and during a wild game of baseball. Yeah it's baseball but with the rules amped up to make for a more interesting game. Catch a foul ball in the stands and the player is out, different players with different uniforms... stunts and trick plays keep you guessing what's going to happen next. Fun atmosphere for all !

    Had a weekend getaway at Cincinnati great American ballpark came to see the Cincinnati Reds play the Arizona Diamondbacks. It was a great game. They had a lot of camaraderie. They even sang the take me out to the ball game song. It was such a good time. They have a lot of really cool snacks like this soft serve in a souvenir hat. They also had Penn Station and we had to grab one it. It's such a great venue if you are ever nearby and can swing a game I definitely would.

    I always love coming here during baseball season to watch the Reds. It's one of those places that's just consistently a good time. The seats are usually pretty affordable, the atmosphere is fun, and it never feels overwhelmingly crowded, which makes the whole experience more enjoyable. Parking is also super convenient, especially with how close the garages are, and getting in and out of the stadium is really easy. I also appreciate that you can bring your own food and even a small cooler, which honestly helps a lot. That being said, the prices inside the stadium have gotten absolutely outrageous. I understand that this is pretty standard across most stadiums, but there's definitely room for improvement. It would be great to see them take a step back and reevaluate pricing across the board, or at least offer some kind of deals or special promotions on certain days. Otherwise, I could genuinely see it turning people away over time. Overall, it's still a really fun place to spend a day or evening, and I'll definitely keep coming back. I just hope they make some adjustments to keep it accessible for everyone.

    One of the best ballparks is right here in Cincinnati. My family and I love the atmosphere here. My wife and I have been to about 1/2 of the MLB parks. This one is tough to beat.

    I recently visited Cincinnati for the three game series against my San Francisco Giants. Besides the games I also partook in a stadium tour. It is a nice venue and I also appreciate the baseball history displayed. I wasn't impressed with the concessions. I tried the all you can eat pass for $25. The "hot dogs" were the most disgustingly inedible awful looking and revolting "food" ever! I don't think that was meat! So pale and unappetizing looking. Just ridiculous! They should be ashamed serving these. That's not food! Other than five of these most pathetic excuses for "hot dogs" you get popcorn, peanuts, chips, and soda. Pass on this pass!

    Bad seats, but ridiculous view!

    Home of the Cincinnati Reds MLB team. Decent park for being almost 20 years old already. They have done many updates to keep current with times. Great American Ball Park is easy to get to park and walk. Plenty of restaurants and bars just outside to hit up before going inside and paying $14.00 per beer. ( Insane) All in all nice ball park with a good vibe. If visiting Cincinnati during Reds season, hit up a game and some bars afterwards.

    A very beautiful stadium for the Reds organization. I found it to be very easy to navigate within the stadium. You're just walking in circles and everything was pretty accessible . They had plenty of drink and food stations that offered some of the local favorites and I also spotted a chick fila as well. Entering and exiting the stadium was pretty easy.

    This ball park truly is a gem. Located in downtown Cincinnati a block from the Ohio river this stadium offers pretty views of the river plus a great atmosphere. On baseball game day the Cincinnati Reds have made the ball park a family entertainment destination. From the variety of food offered to kids play areas to a music stage there is plenty to do. But don't forget to catch the game! The food offerings go from traditional ball park faves like hot dogs and popcorn to hometown favorites such as Cincinnati chili and Montgomery Inn BBQ. There is a good selection of beer also. Located on the ground level is a fairly large open area with picnic tables to eat and perhaps catch some Live music before the game. There are ample spaces for kids of all ages, from play equipment to a small sized baseball diamond where youth can practice their hitting skills. An upper deck features a wee little one's area. Which also has great views of the Ohio river. Speaking of the river if you have tickets somewhere near or at home plate in the upper sections you will have a wonderful view of the ball diamond and of the river. Before or after the game you can catch many restaurants and bars across the street from the stadium. There is also a DORA area located there. One tip if you want to avoid some sun purchase tickets from home plate out to a little past the first base line (especially in the in the upper sections).

    Great American Ball Park is underrated. The reason I mention this is because it gets put at the bottom of many MLB stadium lists. However, I enjoyed my time at the stadium which included two games against my Red Sox and a stadium tour. The stadium tour lasted close to two hours long and our tour guide Dave had a great sense of humor and wasn't a know-it-all like some other tours I've been on. We walked on the field behind home plate, into the dugouts, and even checked out all of the club seating options throughout the stadium. I attended a Saturday game in the Champions Club which included food and soft drinks. The view from the seats is perfect and the food was surprisingly good for stadium food. The Sunday game I attended was in the Scouts Club, these seats were closer to the field but you ARE in the sun. The lounge area inside is nice with booths, TV's, a bar, bathrooms but you do have to pay for your concessions. These seats do include in-seat service too which is nice if you don't want to miss any of the action. Great American ball park has a hall of fame museum right outside the stadium which is incredible. Probably the best baseball museum outside of Cooperstown.

    Play ball!!! As far as ball parks go, Great American Ball Park (GABP) has a lot going on. And, for most people, each visit may be a different experience altogether. For me, as a Chicago native, I typically go to GABP when the Cubs come in to town to beat the Reds. I've been going to Cubs/Reds games periodically for at least 20 years now. From day one, the first thing I noticed was how many Cubs colors were worn in the stands. It's awesome! The best part is that everyone is all about having a good time and getting along. There's no hate, no anger or bitter rivalry. It's just a ball game, and I love it. The park itself is clean and has a lot of food, snacks and beverages to choose from. I'm not certain of all the pricing, but it's typical ball park pricing, for the most part. Quality and pricing are about what you'd expect. On select night games, they do have fireworks shows after the game, so be sure to check and see if there's going to be one after your game. Also, they have giveaway events but you'll want to get there early. Parking is as you would expect. We typically park a block or two into the city. Pricing is standard but the more into the city you go, the less of a nightmare it is getting out. I would try to stay away from multi-story parking garages. Those can be a bit of a nightmare. Would I go back? Absolutely! Like I said, it's always about having fun. With the family, friends, on a date, work event, etc.... it's always a good time. Located right at the edge of the river really makes it even more picturesque on really nice weather days. Pro-tip: Prices vary from game to game. So if you're looking to get out of the house and do something fun, or something you've never done before, go ahead and check out the schedule. Find a game day that interests you and look for seats. You don't need the best seats to have a good time!

    I love to go to games at this ballpark. The staff does a great job keeping everyone entertained regardless of your baseball knowledge. All the lower level seats have a great view and they have all the modernized vending options.

    Where is an ideal place to sit for one of the post game concerts ? Where is the stage set up?

    Normally the stage is either by second base or the central outfield in front of the riverboat

    Does anyone have any information about the SP+ parking lot west of the stadium. Corner of Race & 3rd? I made a reservation there for game parking through Spot Hero but it didn't give a good explanation of how it works.

    There are two outdoor lots on Race & Third, and I believe they're both ran by SP+. What's the address? As long as they have your license plate, I think you should be fine. I also think they'd have attendants at those lots during games. The indoor…

Veteran's Park has fields and courts for multiple sports, a gated playground, and a nature trail. The playground is geared for crawling to about age eight. Everything in the play area is well taken care of. My daughter has asked to "go climb on the big cheese," (a yellow climbing cube,) multiple times since we visited. There were lots of people with bikes or dogs headed for the nature trail. My children were having so much fun of the play structure that we didn't have time to check out the nature trail. I look forward to doing that next time. Parking in front of the park is for handicap and the elderly only. Parking for everybody else is down by the Police Station/ Administrative Complex.

There are kites in some of the trees, evidence of a popular theme day from what I can tell. The park is close to the road so easy to locate, has a definite urban park field, but is enjoyable. The loop around the park isn't that long so if you're looking for distance, best to try another location. However, if you don't mind a few circles, a walk is really enjoyable.

    If your grew up in the Blue Ash, Montgomery, or Symmes Township areas and played baseball and/or…read moresoccer, chances are you've been in contact with the Blue Ash Sports Center off of Grooms Road. Better known sometimes as simply "Grooms," the Sports Center has 11 baseball fields, two soccer fields, and replicas of Crosley Field and the Riverfront Stadium field, all on 37-acres right in Blue Ash. I played and watched my older siblings play at Grooms for many years of baseball and soccer, but I also have gone their for the annual Fourth of July bash: Red, White, and Blue Ash. Red, White, and Blue Ash is basically an all-day event, this year running from 2:00-10:35. There is always a lot of fun, which includes free concerts (this year headlined by the Charlie Daniels Band) and topped off by the best fireworks show in the area, put on by Rozzi's Famous Fireworks. "Grooms" gets swamped on July 4th each year, as it is the biggest event at the complex, but its neatest feature is the re-creattions of Crosley Field and the Riverfront Stadium field. Crosley Field closed in 1970, but according to the Blue Ash Sports Center website regarding the replica field, "Crosley Field was reconstructed by using the blueprints from the original stadium, including the same field dimensions, grass infield, the infamous outfield terrace, and the same dimensions, height, and angles of the outfield wall." Some of the original seating and a scoreboard replication of the last ever pitch make it very close to the original field, while the Riverfront re-creation so far includes simply the same outfield dimensions and walls as that of the most recent ex-Reds home. While I never played on the big fields, the fields I did play on were top of the line. In fact, when I drove up to the complex this week, there were a ton of men working on the fields to keep them in tip-top shape. "Grooms" really is a special place in the City of Blue Ash, and even if you don't play sports, surely you'll have to check out some time on the Fourth of July.

It is softer than your standard ground, which makes playing a bit easier on the body for us older folks. Lights illuminate the field when it starts to get dark, too. There are a couple of soccer fields; a number of baseball diamonds; as well as a replica of Crosley Field. An all-around well-kept, practical, and expansive sports and rec center. If you love playing soccer, getting into a league here is tops.
