I'm interested in learning more about how that works. It's a little confusing to me as I grew up in N.C. and am mostly familiar with cities and towns situated within counties and paying both city/town and county taxes. Does that mean Sharonville residents pay Sharonville, Cincinnati and county taxes?
In Va., if a place is called a "city" it doesn't reside within a county but is an entity all to itself and only pays city taxes. Towns still pay town and county taxes. That was something I had to get used to when I moved to the state a few years ago.
Anyway, since we were in Sharonville we visited Sharon Woods, a local park. When we arrived (early in the morning) there was a small group of people practicing what looked like Tai Chi on one of the bridges that crosses the creek. It would be a great place to do yoga or other group activity. It's so peaceful!

We walked up to the marina and around a paved trail that circles a small lake. Lots of people were jogging, riding bikes and walking their dogs.
Here's a view of the marina from across the lake.
At the marina is a playground and snack bar. There's also a fitness trail, golf course and something called Heritage Park. Heritage Park was closed when we were there and we didn't wait to go in. It presents a view of 19th century living.
I would love to live near this area. It was such a nice community and very pretty.
