Atlas Perspective

Editor's Take

Best approached as a full family park outing: the updated playground matters, but the real strength is how much else is on site for mixed-age visits.

About the Venue

Tower Park is Fort Thomas's signature community park, and the playground was substantially rebuilt in 2024 as a focal point for the city. The city's annual report says the redesign emphasized a wide array of play equipment for all ages and abilities, including handicap accessibility. Families also get the advantages of a full destination park: seasonal-to-improved restroom access, shelters, drinking fountains, paved walking paths, trails, sports courts, and lots of room to spread out. It is a strong choice for mixed-age family outings where playground time is only part of the visit.
