A new picnic shelter now sits in Jefferson Park. The shelter adds much needed shade to the very busy park that includes a playground, mural and a vast open play space.
The Hamilton Parks Conservancy was able to build it mostly with a grant that the City of Hamilton, Ohio - City Hall worked with them to receive. The pair of organizations, along with several community partners made this happen.
The park has continued to grow in stages, adding new pieces over the years. It's a key part of the revitilation of the Jefferson neighborhood, and a component to the Build Back the Block inniative.
