The Cincinnati Parks Department has announced a temporary closure of Burnet Woods Drive. It will be effective June 29, 2020. Below is their communication on it, and their plans for feedback after a 90 day period. We will share the Cincinnati Parks Department survey with the Clifton community when it come out so everyone has adequate time to share feedback. Please note that Brookline Drive is and has been closed to through traffic for many years.
The Cincinnati Park Board and Parks Foundation are excited to have received seed funding for a restricted fund to support the restoration and enhancement of Burnet Woods. This funding will kick off a 5-year capital campaign to raise the funds that are desperately needed to restore the park.
You are invited on Thursday, February 7th at 6pm to 8pm at the Trailside Nature Center in Burnet Woods for an informational evening with drinks and appetizers to unveil the campaign. Please feel free to share this invitation with any of your friends and neighbors who love our park and want to be part of making it the crown jewel of Clifton.
The establishment of this restricted fund and the campaign are critical as prior to its creation there was no way to donate specifically for the restoration and enhancement of Burnet Woods. This is our opportunity as a community to come together in solidarity with the common a goal of making the park the best it can be for flora, fauna, fishermen/women, birds, bees, concrete slide lovers, bird watchers, invasive species-haters, outdoor lunch takers, yogis, concert-goers, hikers, and people that live, work and study in Clifton.
If you have questions, prior to the event, Jennifer H. Spieser’s (Executive Director of Cincinnati Parks Foundation) information can be found below and she is copied on this email.
Please RSVP to Bettina Bellucci by Tuesday, February 5th at bettina@cincinnatiparksfoundation.org.
