Renaming Walnut Woods of Evanston

Over the last several years, the Walnut Hills High School community has been working together with Cincinnati Parks, the Civic Garden Center and the Evanston Community Council to transform the 10-acre parcel of unused land located between Victory Parkway and Sulsar Avenue into a habitat restoration area and community park.  

Volunteers have recorded over 5,600 hours of service at this park over the last 6 years. Volunteer projects include honeysuckle and other invasive plant removal, planting of over 2,000 native trees and shrubs, picking up trash and building a functional trail system. Because of this hard work, Cincinnati Parks is officially renaming this property “Walnut Woods of Evanston.”  

We are so grateful for the time and dedication of the many volunteers who have helped transform this park. This name change is welcome and much deserved.
