Cincinnati Parks has unveiled an upgrade of Lytle Park, located in the southeast part of the downtown area. The revamp took nearly a year and a half to complete.
The park is 117 years old and is built on what was once Fort Washington of the United States Army. When Interstate 71 was built in 1967, the park experienced a major update. Another update took place in 2017 for a project reading ventilation in an interstate tunnel.
The park is bordered by Ludlow, Pike, and East Fourth Streets and sits on 2.3 acres. Among the updates to the park are a decorative fountain, a refurbished playground, a new hardscape with several brick walkways and plazas, new landscape and lighting, benches and a bocce court, and a quarter-mile, rubberized running track.
More details about such updates and enhancements to a park can be provided with brochure printing.
The cost of the project was $5m. The Ohio Department of Transportation committed $1.1m, while Western & Southern Financial Group has several buildings and its headquarters in the neighborhood and so contributed more than $3.2m. The balance came from the city.
Western & Southern said now that the park has been updated, it is an urban oasis and will be a beautiful front yard for visitors and guests to the Taft Hotel, as well as for residents.
