Park Improvement Community Request Form

Often residents, park users, or community organizations wish to approach the Cincinnati Park Board with ideas for park improvements. This process was established to provide a uniform, transparent and objective process and criteria for Park Board Staff to review park improvement proposals. Ultimately, any submitted project is subject to Cincinnati Park Board approval and available funding.

Under this process, individuals and groups may submit requests for park projects through the on-line request form linked below. Projects seeking Park Board Capital dollars are required to submit requests by July 1st of every year to be considered for inclusion in the subsequent fiscal year’s capital budget. The Park Board staff will use a uniform set of objective criteria to review and score each request.

This process should not be used for routine requests for maintenance, minor repairs, signage, bench/table replacements, broken lights, drinking fountains, fences, irrigation systems, and minor repairs to sidewalks/steps. These items should be reported at any time by calling 513.357.2604 or visiting: https://www.cincinnatiparks.com/customer-service/

Any information submitted on this form, including names and contact information is a matter of public record and is subject to disclosure as required by law.
