Local park gets state grant
Press release from state Sen. Gary Cates, R-Butler County:
COLUMBUS — State Senator Gary Cates (R-Butler County) announced today that a popular Butler County park will receive more than $42,300 through the Ohio Department of Natural Resources’ NatureWorks grant program to make several important upgrades to their facility.
The Hanover Township Memorial Park, located at the intersection of Morman Road and State Route 130, will use a $42,324 NatureWorks grant to help replace the gravel surface surrounding the park’s 12,000 square-foot children’s playground area with a new 6-inch soft, rubberized safety surface. In addition, the township, which will provide matching funds for the project, plans to install a new handicap-accessible swing set in the park.
“With a wealth of recreational space, beautiful scenery and a monument honoring area veterans, the Hanover Township Memorial Park is a tremendous resource for families throughout Butler County,” said Cates. “The development and growth of the park has been accomplished through a successful partnership with Butler County and the Ohio Department of Natural Resources, and it is essential that this relationship continues for years to come.”
The NatureWorks grant program provides financial assistance to townships, villages, cities, counties and other local government subdivisions for the acquisition, development and renewal of recreational areas. Since 1995, the program has funded more than 1,300 projects across the state, totaling more than $72 million.
