They paved paradise and put up a parking lot. No words.

Click here for email addresses and phone numbers to Council members, let your voices be heard- do not vote to express your commitment to allocate 8 million to Riverbend. Allocate it to a new pool and recreation complex! Especially contact Anna Albi (her project), Ryan James, Evan Nolan, Meeka Owens, and Seth Walsh. They are voting for it.

HELP!!! Unbelievable, Cincinnati City Council is meeting today at 2pm TODAY to review and vote on contributing 8 million dollars to the Riverbend project. Amnesia!! This is after the state legislature refused 8 million due to public outcry, and the harm to the public after MEMI/CSO destroyed our access to our treasured public recreation resource aka Sunlite Pool. Meanwhile there are cuts to departments, the city needs roads, funding is being cut to police, some residents are drinking out of lead pipes. CAN ANYONE ATTEND THE MEETING? I will list email addresses in comments also, and attempt to post PDF of article. This had to have been quietly scheduled with little notice. COPY AND PASTE email addresses from comment

The Farmer Music Center is a $160 million outdoor performance venue going up next door to Cincinnati's Riverbend.

If you live in Anderson, please support the parks tomorrow!!!

Anderson Township’s parks are a cornerstone of life here. From concerts in the park and youth sports leagues, to senior fitness classes and peaceful walking trails, to playgrounds, skateboard parks and dog parks, they enrich our lives every day.

A look back…and a look forward…

Very late meeting update: the Anderson community engagement meeting (to discuss plans for Beech Acres) was less formal than expected; more an open house. But look closely at the the photos with chips representing preferences.
The pool won hands down!!!

Survey-wise, the highest weight is being given to random surveys that were sent out by mail, of which 500 were returned, a good number. They have received a large number of volunteer surveys, thank you! These won’t count as much based on random survey requirements, but they are still important. The deadline for surveys is Sunday 8/24 at midnite. Encourage friends and family to fill them out, to communicate their desire for a pool!!!

Final thing, it’s very important that Park Levy passes in November. There is likely no pool without the levy. More info will be out soon. *** Let me clarify, the levy is for day to day operations of the park, like salaries and expenses, not big investmnts such as a pool. However, without funding for their operations, the district becomes significantly limited as an organization, if it would even survive. This would likely impact a lot of things moving forward, including big investments.

Thanks for your support! Beech Acres is currently our best option for a local destination pool. It’s HOT, and I know we continue to mourn Sunlite’s loss 😢 I love the Y, but sorely miss the ambience and essence of Sunlite.
