Anderson Park District

About Us

The Anderson Park District is located in Anderson Township, approximately 12 miles east of Cincinnati, within the southeast corner of Hamilton County in Ohio.

Over 500 acres of parkland comprise the APD, situated within the Township’s 31.2 square miles. The population of Anderson Township, according to the 2000 census, is 43,857 with a median household income (1999) of $70,997.

The idea for the Anderson Park District began in 1970 when the Anderson Hills Community Council petitioned the Anderson Township Trustees to form a park district. The first park board created a plan for public parks in Anderson Township and bore the park district by the passage of a referendum in 1975. Operations officially began in 1976 and the first park, Nagel Park, was dedicated in 1978.

Today, the Anderson Park District is an independent governmental agency, known for its year-round schedule of activities that contribute to health, fitness, relaxation, enjoyment, learning, and community fellowship. It is our goal to provide these quality services in the most efficient, cost effective manner possible while striving for customer service excellence and continued quality improvement.
