The character of Lebanon is exemplified by its calm environment. This part of the Cincinnati metropolitan area is quiet overall, as there are usually low levels of noise from traffic - although that is not the case near one of the railway lines, the airport (Warren County/John Lane Field) or I-71. Lastly, the majority of locations in the city have fairly good access to green spaces, such as Harmon Park and Posey Hartman Soccer Complex, since there are over 50 of them close by for residents to discover.
