Some forty-five species of trees, both native and ornamental, grow on Rapid Run's almost fifty acres. The Guerley Road side of the park has a small wooded area, but no trails. Even though these woods are small, spring wildflowers (trout lilies, toothwort, spring beauty, squirrel's corn) bloom there every April, as they have since before the days when the Indians and pioneers travelled up "Lick Run Valley." Rapid Run Park and Parkway, at Glenway Avenue and Rapid Run Road, are composed of nine parcels purchased between 1928 and 1930 and one parcel of old Potter's Field property obtained by ordinance in 1934. The area now contains 49.188 acres (approximately 4 acres were transferred to the Recreation Commission in 1963). Called "Lick Run Park" in its early years, it was renamed by the Park Board in 1940. The park's first improvement came in 1941 through the Federal Works Project Administration. Visiting Rapid Run Park : 4450 Rapid Run Parkway Cincinnati , OH 45238
