Volunteer Park
A family-friendly venue, Volunteer Park is located directly across from the Village Municipal Building on Wiehe Road. Amenities include a play set, picnic tables, walking trail, and spacious fields for family picnics or a quick game of soccer. The park is built on land that was originally owned by the Golf Manor Volunteer Fire Department and was sold to the Village for $1 in 1952.
Planting Donations
The renovation of the park over the past 10 years has resulted in the opportunity for individuals, groups and businesses to donate trees, perennials or other landscape planting materials to help beautify this space. Please contact the Village Administrator to obtain more information regarding participation in this program if you would like to make a contribution.
Chuck Harmon Field
Located at Volunteer Park is Chuck Harmon Field, recently renovated with the help of the Cincinnati Reds. Harmon Field is a recreational softball field dedicated to long-time resident Chuck Harmon, the first African American to play ball for the Cincinnati Reds. Great for casual play and leagues, contact the Village Administrator for availability.
Dennis Puthoff Memorial & Veterans Park
Located at 2631 Losantiville Avenue, this “pocket park” was built more recently as a tribute to respected long-time Mayor Dennis Puthoff and the many residents of our Village that have served their country honorably in the U.S. military. It’s a great place for quiet times, remembrance and people watching. It also houses our own community garden. Participation in the community garden is on a first-come basis. For more information, please contact the Village Administrator.
Memorial Bricks
Memorial Bricks are available for sale to be placed in the park in honor of resident’s military service. Please check with the Village Administrator to obtain more information regarding participation in this program.
