About the Park

The Ohio Township Community Park is eighty-acres of picturesque flat land and rolling hills located off of Nicholson Road. It is home to some truly spectacular sights! For sunset seekers, the upper field is the perfect spot to watch the sun dip behind the trees. The panoramic view of the park, coupled with the stunning view of the sunset, is a must see.

The focal point of the park is the two-story Nature Center. Presently, both floors are used for recreation classes and serve as one of the voting venues for the Township. Other facilities include a large hexagonal open air pavilion and a smaller picnic shelter, both of which are furnished with picnic tables. The Nature Center and Outdoor Pavilion are available to rent throughout the year. To compliment the buildings in the park, there is a large playing field designed for multiple simultaneous games, a children’s playgrounds with separate age-specific equipment, horseshoe pits, an accessible paved nature trail, new restroom facilities, and natural amphitheater behind the Nature Center. The park trail system map can be found at the top of this page, or at the park’s bulletin board.  The fields are used by the Avonworth Soccer Association for practices, games, and tournaments.

The park is open to the public from dawn till dusk. The Nature Center and Pavilion are available for rent. Details can be obtained from the municipal office by calling (412) 364-6321.
