Welcome Home to Harrison

Yes, this is a city. If you’re looking for the Harrison Ford fan club page, you have made a wrong turn. Sorry. Harrison is more than a Ford, it is a city in Hamilton County in the great, buckeye-loving state of Ohio. This city is considered part of the Cincinnati-Northern Kentucky metropolitan area and is only about 25 miles from Cincinnati. Harrison covers almost 4 square miles, a small portion of which is water. The Ohio River is here, in all it’s glory. Average temperatures in Harrison get up to almost 80 degrees Fahrenheit and drop to around 30 degrees in the winter. Snowfall averages are pretty darn close to the national average. It snows up to 7 inches, on average, during the coldest months. So you’ll likely see snow here in the winter, but not a load of it.

With playgrounds, athletic fields and courts, trails, sports complexes, senior centers, and even a dog park, (woof!) these guys have loads going on. The Parks and Recreation Department does an amazing job at offering many opportunities for residents to stay active, healthy, and happy. The department hosts some super fun (and free!) special events like Spooktacular and the Christmas Celebration with a parade, cookies and treats, and, of course, pictures with the big guy (yes – Santa Claus.)
