Wintersville Community Park

The village of Wintersville in the center of Jefferson County will use the HEART of Appalachian Ohio project to construct a community park. Currently, Wintersville is lacking in significant outdoor space that is open to the public and is looking to develop 13-acres of property just off of Main Street into a park that will serve the people of the region and improve the quality of life of its citizens.


Wintersville has recently seen a great influx of new business and people moving to the area, but spaces are lacking where people can walk from their homes and be outdoors. If support through the Appalachian Community Grant comes, the HEART of Appalachian Ohio project will develop this property and bring transformational change to the community and region.


Plans will to be add walking trails all around the property with connections made to the regional trails in the area. Community gardens will be placed on the property and a permanent farmers’ market stand. The property will be anchored by a large modern dog park that will serve the residents and their families, and by a new amphitheater that will be built into the hillside. A small pond to will be developed on the property to give residents a tranquil and peaceful place to visit and be one with nature. Finally, a native pollinator area will be added to the property that will also be a stop on the Appalachian Ohio Pollinator Trail.
