A glass canopy covers open seating between restaurants at Summit Park in Blue Ash. Tahona Kitchen + Bar, Senate, Brown Dog Cafe and Nanny Belle's are all open for business. The 130-acre park has been expanding in phases over the past few years. Visitors can already use the great lawn, children's play area, the dog park and trails.
