Horse Operation Lease Extension
The ATPD Board of Park Commissioners agreed to extend the temporary lease for Bridle Run Stables at Johnson Hills Park from June 30, 2009 to October 31, 2009 at the request of the private horse operation owner, Larry Waltz. Both the request and the decision were made at the May 14th regular meeting of the Board of Park Commissioners at Juilfs Park.
The ATPD has allowed the private horse operation to continue to operate on the property on a temporary, leased basis, since the property became part of the ATPD in 2000.
The park will continue to be open to the public in a limited capacity until the horse operation vacates the property. Park development plans are being revised, accordingly.

Acquisition
William McNeilan Johnson Hills Park ( Johnson Park) became part of the Anderson Township Park District in June of 2000. The acquisition of this property was made possible by a variety of means: a generous donation from Marian Johnson (the previous owner of the property), a partnership with the Hamilton County Park District, and the sale of bonds by the ATPD to secure the remaining funding.
Description
This 136 acres currently consists of rolling hills & wooded terrain. The community is fortunate to have this land secured as a park for future generations! One unique aspect of Johnson Park is the past residence of William McNeilan Johnson and his wife Marian B. Johnson. This beautiful historic home has a myriad of possible uses.
