The Cincinnati Skyline as Seen from Kentucky’s Devou Park

15 September 201716 September 2024

I was meeting some friends at Willie’s Sports Cafe and with some time to spare, drove up to the Devou Memorial Park.  I had read several articles that mentioned the view of Cincinnati’s skyline from here was breathtaking, so I wanted to see it for myself.

Devou is easy to access by driving across the Ohio River on I-75 / I-71.  Take exit 191 toward Pike Street into Covington.  Turn right on Pike Street then right onto Lewis Street.  A slight right onto Montague Road and a left turn onto Golfview Road will bring you to the Devou Golf & Event Center on your right.

A hidden gem of over 700 acres, Devou Park provides a panoramic view of downtown Cincinnati from its Memorial Overlook.  The largest park in Covington, Devou’s 18-hole golf course, biking trails, playgrounds and picnic shelter offers plenty of outdoor activities.

The park is named for William P. Devou, Senior and his wife Sarah who had once owned most of the acreage which was once their family farm.  The land was donated to the city of Covington and was designated a park in 1910.

Have you had the opportunity to visit Devou Memorial Park and take in the fascinating Cincinnati skyline?  I would love to hear about your visit if you would kindly leave a message in the comments section below.
