Juilfs Park Playground Closure
Beginning Monday, November 5, the Juilfs Park playground will be closed until renovations are completed.
Juilfs Park Playground Fundraising
Honor someone special and support your community through the Playground Fund! Leave a legacy for the “Apple of Your Eye” on the new, farm-themed playground. Donors of $100 or more will have their tribute featured in a lasting, meaningful, and creative way on the sponsor Apple Tree.
A portion of each donation will be used to purchase and install a tribute acknowledgement; proceeds from the balance of the donation go to the purchase of play equipment, surfaces, structures, and landscaping associated specifically with the 2012 Juilfs Park playground renovation. Sponsorships of any amount are welcomed and will be printed in an upcoming issue of the Park District’s Park Guide.
Park District staff welcomes the opportunity to discuss gift-giving options with you or your company! Contact Scott Lahman: (513) 388-5091.

Description
The Juilfs Foundation, through its generous gifts, has made this 26 acre park the crown jewel of the ATPD. Children can live their dreams on the park’s award winning playground or exercise their imagination on a tricycle track complete with pretend gas pumps. A popular .9 mile hike/bike trail winds around the park’s perimeter. Within its bounds reside 2 sand volleyball courts, a basketball court, 3 competition level ball diamonds, 4 lush soccer fields and 3 tennis courts. Sprinkled throughout the park are picnic tables with grills and 2 shelters.
