NEW BUSINESS Presentation: Pickleball Courts at Sawyer Point Steven Schuckman explained staff have been working with Pickleball enthusiasts on a project to repurpose the tennis courts at Sawyer Point. He introduced Gary Lessis who has lead the effort and has been working with the the Parks Foundation on fundraising. Mr. Lessis provided background on Pickleball and its popularity and local history, including the need for pickleball facilities in Cincinnati. He described the success of original overlay pickleball courts at Sawyer Point and funding raised for its expansion. He presented plans, community impact, and economic impact of additional pickleball courts at Sawyer Point. 1 2 Commissioner North asked about the number of courts and tennis activity at Sawyer Point. Mr. Lessis explained there will be 12 dedicated pickleball courts and 4 tennis courts with overlays for 8 overflow pickleball courts. Lou Sand, Regional Manager at Riverfront explained pickleball has rejuvenated the tennis court area of Sawyer Point and there has not been negative feedback about the court conversions. Plans for resurfacing and portable nets were discussed. Director Kish explained this initial presentation was to inform the Board and assess their support should funding become available for the project. Vice President Thomas emphasized the need to ensure plans were agreeable with the tennis community as well, noting the present condition of the courts may have been what hindered tennis activity as opposed to popularity of the sport. She said she was supportive of exploring the idea. Commissioner Lindner and President Goetz expressed support and Mr. Goetz expressed the idea of having a world class facility. He echoed Ms. Thomas’ sentiments regarding tennis and asked staff to keep the Park Board informed if the tennis community feels they are being infringed upon. Commissioner Castellini asked if total cost was determined. Mr. Schuckman explained preliminary sub surface tests indicate a starting cost of about $250,000, which is in the City Manager’s proposed FY22 budget. The maintenance history of the courts was discussed. Mr. Schuckman explained they have not been resurfaced since Park acquired them in 2011 and he is unsure if they had been prior. He explained it has been an ongoing need prior to the pickleball concept. President Goetz announced there was an overall consensus of support to continue pursuing the concept and developing plans for pickleball courts at Sawyer Point. Presentation: Special Events Lou Sand, Regional Manager of Riverfront, Downtown, and Special Events presented on Parks’ community programming. He presented the mission of enjoyment, enlightenment, and enrichment, and explained goals including community-based partnerships, activating parks and community gathering places, and improve neighborhoods. He described support provided by the AMPT funding source. Mr. Sand continued with descriptions of community partnered events at Stanbery Park, Kennedy Heights, Olden View, Rapid Run, Mt. Echo, Ault Park, Mt. Airy, and new initiatives at Piatt, Laurel, and Alms Parks. He explained the Groesbeck Fund funded events at Burnet Woods specifically. Mr. Sand provided an overview of programming that took place in 2020 and plans for 2021. He described partnered events which will be up and running again in 2021 including events at Stanbery, Kennedy Heights, Olden View, Rapid Run, Mt. Echo, Ault Park, Piatt Park, Alms Park, Laurel Park, Westwood Town Hall, and Burnet Woods. Director Kish referenced staff’s role in helping to produce community programming. Mr. Sand spoke to the assistance provided with permitting and navigating City processes, as well as helping to facilitate planning. 2 3 Commissioner North asked if programming was accessible for partners who want to participate and organize events. Mr. Sand explained partnership and fee waiver options for programs free and open to the public. Other parks and communities that staff desired to initiate programming was discussed, including Avondale and MLK Park. Vice President Thomas asked about how best to engage with communities that do not have existing community councils or active programming, which contribute to overall safety in underserved communities and parks. Mr. Sand indicated communities or community councils can contact Parks staff to determine what level of support they need for programming. He explained staff works mainly with the Park Advisory Councils. STAFF COMMENTS Rocky Merz commented further on ways staff is looking to provide extra support for community programming and activating more underused parks. Mr. Merz presented staff updates. He announced the Kyle Plush Pavilion grand opening was on June 5th and the newest section of the John G. and Phyllis W. Smale Riverfront Park was opened on June 14th. He provided dates for upcoming ribbon cuttings and dedications, including Tom Jones Commons on July 23rd, Marian Spencer Statue Dedication on June 27th, and Inwood Playground Dedication with a community cookout on August 12th. Mr. Merz explained volunteer merchandise have been purchased which will encourage long term and returning volunteers. He announced final numbers from the Mayor’s Corporate Challenge included 19 organizations, 326 volunteers at 19 project sites, totaling 1,304 hours. He explained the volunteer program is already off to a great start coming out of the pandemic. He announced July is Parks and Recreation Month and the theme set by National Recreation and Parks Association is “Our Parks and Recreation Story,” which will provide an opportunity to engage with the community about the importance of parks. Staff are asking for community and staff participation in telling their stories through video testimonials. Mr. Merz announced the Administration Building will reopen to the public June 21st, although many customer services processes which have been digitized will continue to be available online. He announced over 60 seasonal staff have been onboarded to supplement critical work over the summer. He mentioned many of them are employed through Parks’ youth employment program which has been re-envisioned by Natural Resources staff in partnership with Groundwork Ohio River Valley’s Green Team. He explained a presentation will be provided at a future meeting. Mr. Merz introduced the parks Foundation Executive Director Jennifer Spieser to present a partnership with P&G and Pampers in celebration of Father’s Day.

  • GROW OUTSIDEOUTSIDE a GUIDE to OUTDOOR PLAY Turn Over a New Leaf!
    GROWGROW OUTSIDEOUTSIDE A GUIDE TO OUTDOOR PLAY Turn over a new leaf! www.LNCIgc.org Dear Reader: Do you remember when parents told their children to “Go Outside and Play”? A time when unstructured play in nature built healthy bodies, encouraged creativity and a sense of wonder, relieved stress, facilitated learning and developed important social skills? In the relatively short span of thirty to forty years, we have removed our children from the natural environment that so effectively nurtured healthy child development. When Richard Louv published his book “Last Child in the Woods: Saving Our Children from Nature-Deficit Disorder” in 2005, he issued a call to action for the parents and mentors of today to return children to the healthy, outdoor lifestyle that has prevailed throughout human evolution. We hope this guide will inspire you to encourage today’s children to “GO OUTSIDE AND PLAY”!! ! Leave No Child Inside – Greater Cincinnati sage ... es from uv M Richard Lo A Author, Last Child in the Woods: Saving Our Children from Nature-Deficit Disorder Today, kids are well aware of the global threats to their environment, but their physical contact, their intimacy with nature on a day-to-day basis, is fading. A fifth-grader in a San Diego classroom put it succinctly: “I like to play indoors better ‘cause that’s where all the electrical outlets are.” I believe our society is teaching young people to avoid direct experience in nature. That unintended message is delivered by schools, families, even organizations devoted to the outdoors, and codified into the legal and regulatory structures of many of our communities – effectively banning much of the kind of play that we enjoyed as children.
