New in 2008, this park area includes 17.2 acres donated by the DeNelsky family as a memorial to Minnie DeNelsky and 5.7 acres donated by the Neil family for a total of 22.9 acres.
The area has approximately 9-10 acres of woodlands with the remaining in native grasses, flowers and open space. This unique natural area within the city limits provides environmental and wildlife appreciation and education opportunities, in addition to serving as a neighborhood park. A minimum of 70% of the land will be maintained and managed as existing wooded and natural open space area.
Plans are to work with the Warren County Conservation Board to have a development plan prepared to determine the best way to develop the area based on the lay of the land and existing natural features.
Park improvements include a small parking area, picnic tables, a grill, signs, a memorial landscape area and a mowed path throughout the area for walking and observing the existing woodlands, natural open space areas and wildlife.
