Hamilton County Park District
     
 


Fernbank Park

Extending for over a mile along the Ohio River, Fernbank Park comprises over 58 acres. The park offers a footpath, a field ideal for impromptu games, a stone picnic shelter and baseball diamond.

In March, the Hamilton County Park District and the Cincinnati Park Board signed a cooperative commitment to improve Fernbank Park. This partnership enables the Hamilton County Park District to contribute approximately $2.7 million in park enhancements, in addition to assuming the operation, maintenance and Ranger patrol of Fernbank Park. Proposed enhancement projects include improved roads, parking areas, walkways, trails, picnic shelters and an upgraded playground. During construction, the availability of exisiting facilities may be impacted.

On March 29, 2004 a groundbreaking ceremony began the start of Phase One enhancements including:


  • A new playground with twisting slides, crawl tubes and Thunderhead climbing equipment.
  • The existing shelter will be upgraded.
  • Park roads, walkways and parking areas will be improved.

The first phase of improvements to Fernbank Park have been completed, including the renovation of the picnic shelter and the construction of an interactive, educational playground, a new restroom building and expanded, paved parking.
Phase Two improvements for 2005 to include the completion of paved park road and parking improvements, new paved multi-purpose trail, two new non-reservable picnic shelters, interpretive and information signs and various other site improvements.
