A True Community Effort

As with all community-focused projects, the more partners that join in the effort, the more successful the project, and the more quickly this park becomes a reality for our residents and neighbors. Your donation and active involvement will support a playground that is the first of its kind not only in Mason, but also throughout greater Cincinnati. All donations to the Mason Parks & Recreation Foundation, a nonprofit (501(c)3) organization, are tax deductible. We’re over 1/3 of the way there!

Always a Place to Serve

  • Volunteer time, energy and expertise to a committee or event.
  • Contribute materials, services or money to a project or endowment fund.
  • Make a gift through your estate such as a charitable remainder unitrust, real estate, stocks, securities, life insurance or direct donation through your will.
