A birthday is always something to celebrate! And 100 years is a special milestone. This month, we’re celebrating the 100th birthday of Carol Ann Haile. The namesake of the carousel in the Anderson Pavilion at Smale Riverfront Park, Carol Ann, alongside her husband Ralph, had a tremendous love for Cincinnati, and their impact is everywhere in our city. Cincinnati Parks Foundation is thrilled to partner with the Haile Foundation and Carol Ann’s Carousel at the Andrson Pavilion at Smale Riverfront Park to plan a very special weekend for a special person on May 20-21.

As we wrap up Women’s History Month, we spoke to many of the women in Cincinnati who are making a difference in our parks to find out what Cincinnati Park they will likely explore today.

According to a CBS News poll, the most popular resolutions for the new year typically involve improving health and physical fitness. However, a new poll from Forbes Health found that more and more people are resolving to focus on their mental health, with more than half of respondents between the ages of 26 and 41 looking to improve their mental health in 2023. Although there are numerous resources for both physical and mental health, it’s likely you have access to something that can help you fulfill those new year’s resolutions within steps of your front door–a Cincinnati Park!
