Carmody Park is owned by Warren County and features 4 acres of open fields for playing baseball or soccer, a picnic shelter, playground equipment and walking trails throughout a wooded area.
Future Development
Approximately 36 acres are open agricultural field areas suitable for active play fields. Soccer, baseball, and football will be considered for future development. The remaining 24 acres are wooded and will remain in the conservation are to be made available to the public for trials, interpretive park use and development and scenic stream access and enjoyment. This park is the centerpiece of a complex over several properties acquired under the Clean Ohio Grant Program to supplement the property acquired from the Carmody Estate. The entire complex will compromise more than 400 acres and will be known as the Carmody Park Lower Twin Creek Park Nature Preserve.
History
This 60-acre tract was purchased from the heirs of the Carmody Estates. Approximately 40% of the acquisition cost was provided under an agreement to convey a conservation easement to Five Rivers Metro Parks, of Montgomery County. This was done out of a joint interest in restoring and preserving the stream corridor along Twin Creeks. The park was dedicated November 6, 2005.
