ayler Park’s name hints to its park-like setting.  The streets are lined with beautiful, mature trees providing shade in the summer and beautiful color in the fall.  We are home to five city parks as well as the 63-acre park, Fernbank Park, which meanders along the Ohio River for more than a mile.

Sayler Park is recognized as a Tree City USA

Originally a rivertown, the village treasurers both its historical and architectural heritage.

Our Thornton Triangle (at the intersection of Gracely Dr & Thornton Ave) is the smallest park in the City of Cincinnati.  In addition to that bit of tiny trivia, in this same park stands the J. Fitzhugh Thornton Memorial. The statue (a Cincinnati Historic Landmark), locally called “Tecumseh” is also known as the Sayler Park Indian, the Fernbank Indian and its catalog name, Indian Chief No. 53. Just like the saga of the American Indian, this effigy has an unusual history which evokes a paradox of civic pride in Sayler Park’s Indian history.  For the full story click here.

Sayler Park is also home to two very historically significant and well preserved Adena period Indian mounds. The Short Woods Mound, now on the edge of the Fernbank golf course measures 38 feet high by 150 feet wide. It has been excavated and radiocarbon dated to 800 BCE. Another mound from that era known as the Story Mound is on the property of Sayler Park Elementary. Both mounds were listed on the National Register of Historic Places in the mid 1970’s.
