Lick Run Greenway is Cincinnati's newest urban recreational space, offering a mile-long walking and biking path along an urban stream and pond, as well as a brand-new Cincinnati Recreation Commission area with various amenities such as a playground, spray park, basketball courts, and shelters. The Greenway also features the Lick Run Heritage Trail, a series of educational signs that highlight the ecological history and cultural heritage of South Fairmount. Additionally, the Greenway serves as a stormwater management project, helping to control sewer overflows into the Mill Creek and improving water quality in the area.
The Lick Run Greenway, in combination with storm sewers, bioswales, and restored stream channels, collects rainwater from the Lick Run watershed and directs it to the Mill Creek, preventing it from mixing with sewage and causing sewer overflows. Covering approximately 2,900 acres, the Lick Run watershed includes South Fairmount and parts of East Price Hill, West Price Hill, and Westwood. The Greenway not only contributes to water quality improvement but also provides opportunities for neighborhood revitalization in South Fairmount.
