SERVING OUR COMMUNITY We raise vital funds to expand access to:
• Summer camp and after-school scholarships
• Youth golf, tennis, and aquatics programs
• Lifeguard training and job-readiness opportunities
• School supply distribution and family support initiatives
Our work ensures that Cincinnatians of all ages and abilities can live, learn, and play in welcoming, well-equipped neighborhood spaces.
• CRC’s citywide network includes:
• 23 recreation centers
• 24 swimming pools
• 6 public golf courses
• Over 100 athletic fields and playgrounds
Cincinnati Recreation’s facilities serve as community anchors—creating safe places for sports, recreation, art and culture, civic gatherings, wellness, childcare, and life-skill education.
