Colerain Township currently has a compliment of 10 parks for residents of all ages to enjoy.
This is an exciting time for Colerain Parks. For the first time the Parks & Services Department has a home of it own. The former Public Works building (and for those who have been in the area for a longer time, the former administration building, Police Department, trustee meeting room, etc.), located at 4725 Springdale Road adjacent to Colerain Park, was
given to the Parks & Services Department after Public Works moved into their new building next to the Administration Complex. After several months of remodeling, we were able to move into the "new" building in late April of 2005. The new location gives the department two offices, filing and storage space, a conference room, a work station for the summer camp staff and maintenance workers, seven garage bays for equipment storage, a large pole barn as well as extensive gated outside storage. Previously, the Parks & Services Department was spread throughout the Township wherever another department had space to spare. Having a building of our own gives us a stronger sense of cohesiveness as a department, and also provides the public with an identifiable location they can contact to find information about local parks. The office is open Monday-Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. and can be reached at (513)385-7503.
Colerain Park, located on Springdale Road near Colerain Elementary and Poole Road, recently underwent a complete renovation. The "new and improved" park, completed in the fall of 2002, has an additional 8 acres to help accommodate a one-mile walking trail, a boardwalk, two new picnic shelters (for a total of four), an amphitheater, renovated basketball courts, additional parking, playground areas and restrooms, new baseball fields with a concession stand, and much more.
We are also excited about the newest addition to the Department, Heritage Park, with 126 acres that was once the Wilhelm farm on East Miami River Road. The property, with one-mile of frontage on the Great Miami River, is believed to be the site of Fort Dunlap, the first settlement in Colerain Township. The flat topology of the property allows for both active sport field and passive recreational usage coexisting with the greenspace environment and water recreational opportunities offered by the Great Miami River. Phase I construction, including walking trails, disk golf, a canoe ramp, rain garden, eco lab, and a playground was completed in 2006. Four NCAA regulation size baseball fields were added in the spring of 2007.
