What’s going on at Riverside Park?
Have you visited the north side of Anderson Township lately?!
The Anderson Township Park District is installing All Weather Fields at Riverside Park, 3969 Roundbottom Road (progress photos). The All Weather Fields will include 2 full sized synthetic turf field areas lined for 2 football fields, or 2 full sized soccer fields, or 4 smaller soccer fields (comp 6v6).
This exciting opportunity will enable the ATPD to:
- Meet the community’s needs for guaranteed play;
- Meet the community’s demand for extended seasons of play;
- Enable the ATPD to commit to our field rotation procedure;
- Serve a user group with minimal impact to the ATPD (football);
- And secure a revenue source to promote the future of the park district.
The fields will be available for play September 27, 2010. Contact Sheila Fehn for more information about the ATPD All Weather Fields, 513.388.4512
Riverbank restoration project at Riverside Park is complete!
Grants and in-kind labor funding provided by Anderson Township Park District, Anderson Township, Horizon Community Church, and the Clean Ohio Fund.
For over 15 years, the ATPD had been dealing with various state and national
organizations in order to resolve the serious erosion problem along the banks
of the Little Miami Wild and Scenic River at Riverside Park. The riverbank repair project was approved, and the ATPD
was awarded a Clean Ohio Grant from the State of Ohio in the amount
of $410,000 to help fund this $632,000 repair project. The Anderson Township
Trustees assisted by contributing $132,500.
The project was finished in 2008 and will reward our
community with a safe place to observe all of the natural beauty of Little
Miami Wild and Scenic River.
