ESTABLISHED 2015
MISSION At Ziegler Park, we promote inclusion by strengthening the bonds of community through recreation. We welcome all, regardless of gender, race, socioeconomic status, or physical ability. With a commitment to ensure that everyone in the neighborhood has a clean, safe, and fun place to enjoy, it is our mission to offer free and reduced-cost activities, leagues, and clinics, as well as pool memberships for all.
SERVING OUR COMMUNITY Ziegler Park continues to improve the physical, economic, and social conditions in the OTR/Pendleton neighborhoods by reducing crime, bringing new commercial activity to the area, and offering free programmed activities to neighborhood youth. We’ve also created numerous jobs, hiring from within the community whenever possible. The Everybody In program was designed to make pool access affordable to all and provides a variety of free programs, geared toward neighborhood youth.
This year’s free programs included a swim team with 49 swimmers, swim lessons for 600 children and adults, a weekly drop-in basketball program, a 10-week summer camp with nearly 80 daily campers and a series of events specifically for neighborhood teenagers. In 2026, we plan to enhance our current programs to expand our youth engagements and strengthen our community.
