About the Location
Scenic Overlook
Olden View Park offers visitors a scenic overlook with panoramic views of downtown Cincinnati, the Ohio River, and the surrounding hills. Its elevated position makes it an ideal location for photography, particularly during sunrise and sunset when the light casts a warm glow over the city below.

Historical Significance
Established in 1973, Olden View Park marks the site of the former Price Hill Incline, which operated from 1874 until its closure in 1943. The incline played a crucial role in the development of the Price Hill neighborhood, allowing easier access to the hilltop area from the lower parts of the city.
Bronze plaques installed throughout the park offer information about the history of the Price Hill area and the former incline. Visitors can learn about the site's significance while enjoying the scenery.
Visitor Experience
The park serves as a popular destination for both locals and tourists seeking a quiet place to enjoy Cincinnati's skyline. Situated at the top of the historic Price Hill Incline, it provides a peaceful retreat with spectacular views.
