Anderson Park District introduces the APD GeoTrail (launched Fall 2015) offering a trail of caches throughout eight of our parks. This trail is an excellent way to get outside and visit all of our beautiful parks throughout the township. Upon completion, you will have the opportunity to purchase one of our custom Geocoins. Happy Caching!
Riverside Park
Located at 3969 Round Bottom Road, Cincinnati, Ohio 45244, Riverside Park is 46 acres, cradled in a bend of the Little Miami River complete with 6 ball diamonds, 2 synthetic turf fields, a hike/bike trail, a concession/restroom building, a playground, and land used for soccer, football, and lacrosse matches. 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.
History of Riverside Park
The majority of the land for Riverside Park was purchased by the Anderson Township Trustees on January 9, 1992; this land was deeded to the APD in late 1993. The APD purchased the remaining park land. The Anderson Township Bicentennial Commission raised funds for part of the development. Riverside Park opened in the spring of 1996 as the first phase of a continuing building program. Additional improvements will be added to this park as funds become available. For over 15 years, the APD had 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. The riverbank repair project was approved, and the APD was 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 assisted by contributing $132,500. The project was finished in 2008 and will reward our community with a safe place to observe all of the natural beauty of Little Miami Wild and Scenic River. The Anderson Park District installed All Weather Fields in the fall of 2010. The All Weather Fields include 2 full sized synthetic turf field areas lined for 2 football fields, or 2 full sized soccer fields, or 4 smaller soccer fields.
