Cardinal Park

Pocket Park #1

Location. Northwest corner of Sycamore Drive (entrance) and Mt. Zion Rd.

Description. This park is under construction and will be completed by the end of July 2025. This first pocket park will allow the city to gauge resident interest in future pocket parks of this more developed type. Amenities at Cardinal Park will include park benches and trees and bushes along a paved perimeter trail.

 

Hummingbird Park

Pocket Park #6

Location. South end of Old Union Rd at the connection to U.S. 42.

Description. This is a challenging location due to numerous utilities in the area, and it being the site of the previous path of U.S. 42. Regardless, we have added three parking places in addition to five flower beds. Tree plantings took place in April of 2024 and 2025. In May 2025, the city completed our first NABA certified butterfly garden. In the future, we will continue to add more plants to attract hummingbirds and butterflies.

Sparrow Park

Pocket Park #2

Location. Corner of Indian Hill Drive and Mt. Zion Rd.

Description. This pocket park will be built over several years as funds permit. As a parcel left over after the reconstruction of Mt. Zion Rd, options are limited. In 2024, five trees were added; more will be added in the spring of 2025. Thanks to a grant from the Northern Kentucky Master Gardeners Association, the city will also add a flower bed and decorative grass this spring. In future years, the city may add a sidewalk that cuts diagonally across the property.

 

Goldfinch Park

Pocket Park #3

Location. South side of Mt. Zion Rd between Union Rice Cemetery and Russwill Ln.

Description. This site was also a left-over parcel after Mt. Zion Rd reconstruction. This is a larger property that will require a more formal design (funding TBD). Several young trees were planted along the south perimeter in 2025 to begin determining future options for this location.

Bluebird Park

Pocket Park #4

Location. Northwest corner of Sycamore Drive (exit) and Mt. Zion Rd.

Description. Future plans TBD.

 

Dove Park

Pocket Park #5
