One of our favorite parts of our work - community engagement! Tonight we were at Grant Part in Over the Rhine to get input from the neighbors and community on what’s coming to the park! We had a great turnout! Thank you to all those who stopped by!

Today we celebrate Indigenous Peoples Day and remind everyone of the earthworks at Theodore M Berry International Friendship Park that were built to honor the mound builders of the Ohio Valley and all of the native peoples who were stewards of this land before us.

Something very exciting is coming to Kenton County and Independence Kentucky and we couldn’t be more proud to be involved. Following the master plan we developed with the County in 2021 after several rounds of public engagement, we are excited to partner with Bayer Becker on the implementation of the master plan. There is truly something for everyone to enjoy at this park from unique play environments to adventure seeking rock climbing and bike skills to quiet connections with nature - all ages and all abilities will find many things to do! Under the construction leadership at Prus Construction, we are thrilled to work with them to see it come to life!

Crews are expected to mobilize on the 225-acre site, formerly Fox Run Golf Course, off Independence Station Road, on Sept. 14.

Exciting things coming!
Bayer Becker Prus Construction

Construction on Kenton County’s 225-acre marquee park will begin Sept. 14, transforming the former Fox Run Golf Course into a destination built for recreation, adventure and outdoor exploration. The park is anticipated to reopen in late summer 2028.

To safely make this transformation possible, the park will be 𝗳𝘂𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝗰𝗹𝗼𝘀𝗲𝗱 to the public throughout construction. While about 70% of the property will remain untouched, large-scale equipment and active work zones will be present across the site, making the full closure necessary to keep visitors and construction crews safe.

And there’s a lot to look forward to.

The park will be built around three natural ridges, each with its own focus:
🎣 The first ridge will focus on civic activities and feature an enlarged fishing pond, dog park, outdoor fitness area, destination playground and interactive water feature, shelters, restrooms, observation tower and opportunities to walk through the tree canopies.
🚲 The second ridge emphasizes the spirit of adventure, with a bike park that includes skills course, bike playground and pump track, climbing wall, nature play, shelters and restrooms and a planned Go Ape facility with elevated obstacles and treetop experiences.
🥾The final ridge focuses on exploration building on the park’s extensive trail network that will be developed to cater to hikers and mountain bikers, while accommodating a wide range of abilities.

We look forward to sharing even more soon!

We love seeing projects flourish years after the initial “newness” fades a little. In the case of Lick Run Greenway in South Fairmount, habitat is flourishing and being studied! An urban stream provides greenspace for a neighborhood, reduces combined sewer overflows, creates habitat for a variety of animals and becomes an outdoor laboratory for students!

The health of fish in a local creek may tell a bigger story about how well millions of dollars in flood control and water quality improvements are working.

Honoring Mayor Haas and the official reading of the Declaration of Independence at the Charters of Freedom in Tower Park. It’s humbling to witness civic events like these in meaningful spaces we have had the honor to create.
