French Park is a public park located in Amberley Village, Ohio, United States, but owned by the City of Cincinnati.

The park occupies the former estate of Herbert Greer French, who bequeathed the land with red brick manor to the Cincinnati Park Board following his death in 1942.[1] The park, located atop a steep incline, is also home to a creek which visitors can find after a short walk through the woods. There are also a few hiking trails, as well as a covered shelter atop with grilling areas.[2]

The City of Cincinnati also owns the Cincinnati Southern Railway outside its corporation limits. In addition, it owned the Cincinnati–Blue Ash Airport in Blue Ash until 2017.
