With the new capital levy in place, the Anderson Park District hit the ground running to begin making improvements throughout the Anderson Parks!
The Anderson Park District is an active park and recreation agency focused on enhancing the parks with amenities that promote healthy, active lifestyle activities. The 25-year park improvement plan will extend beyond the comprehensive list of projects when possible. Additional amenities within the scope of the Ps may be added or expanded while the Park Board remains committed to the comprehensive list of projects. Community partnerships will continue to expand the park district’s ability to put more in the parks.
Two recent examples include:
• Belterra Park Cincinnati’s generous $25,000 donation to the Anderson Foundation for Parks & Recreation for the Kellogg Park pickleball courts project extends the funding for enhancements.
• Cincinnati Reds Community Fund and the Anderson Parks are working on a partnership to improve the Juilfs Park Marty Brennaman Field with a conversion of the infield from dirt to all weather. While the project was not on the 2023 comprehensive list, it meets the APD’s goal to increase playability in the parks and the partnership provides additional funding.
Planning for many of the projects will take place in phases. Visit AndersonParks.com/Capital-Improvement-Levy/ to see the full comprehensive list of park improvement projects. If you have questions, please contact Ken Kushner, Executive Director (513) 388-2492 or KKushner@AndersonParks.com.
We are excited to improve your parks! We are grateful for the community’s support and we are committed to delivering what we promised. We look forward to seeing you out in your parks!

Anderson Parks Issue 18
On behalf of the Board of Park Commissioners, thank you Anderson Township residents for voting yes on November 7th for the capital levy to improve the Anderson Parks. We are fortunate to live in a township where the residents recognize the benefits of continuing a quality park system in their community.
The Commissioners extend a sincere thank you to the volunteers who devoted countless hours of their personal time to share the park’s message with the voters. We specifically want to recognize the Citizens for Parks and Recreation levy committee members for their tireless efforts: Doug Boettner, PhD, Levy Chair, and Harry Fermann, Treasurer. I also thank the Anderson Parks staff whose efforts to educate the public about the purpose for the capital levy ensured a positive outcome for this endeavor.
With the new capital levy in place, the Anderson Park District will hit the ground running to make the improvements throughout your parks. The immediate projects include:
- Riverside Park: all weather field (existing) turf replacement, estimated by summer 2024.
- Beech Acres Park: ready the Beech Acres Parenting Center property expansion.
- Kellogg Park:
- pickleball court construction (minimum 6 courts, oriented north/south)
- paved trail outside dog field
- Veterans Park: complete playground renovation, parking lot renovation, and trails extension.
- W. M. Johnson Hills Park: natural surface trails renovation.
- Laverty Park Design: restroom addition and parking lot renovation.
The planning for the additional projects will begin in phases. Visit the Comprehensive List to see the full list of capital levy park improvements. Project status updates will be posted so that residents can stay informed about the park improvements progress.
Again, thank you, Anderson Township residents, for your support! We are grateful for your approval.
If you have questions about the park improvements levy, contact Ken Kushner, Executive Director, 513-388-2492 or KKushner@AndersonParks.com.
