RIVERSIDE PARK
EROSION PROJECT FUNDED BY CLEAN OHIO GRANT
For over 15 years, the APD has 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. Today there
is good news! The riverbank repair project has been approved and the APD
has been 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 have assisted by contributing $132,500. Tentative plans include
completing the repair in the fall of 2007, provided that the current permit
process continues as expected. Athletic fields on the north section of
the park won’t
be available for play, however when complete, the project will reward our
community with a safe place to observe all of the natural beauty of Little
Miami Wild and Scenic River.
Location
3969 Round Bottom Road.
The Park is open from dawn to dusk, excluding special events. During the winter months of December, January, February and March, one restroom will be open; during severe weather conditions, this restroom will be closed. No snow removal is done at Riverside Park.
