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.
