Established: 2017

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, primarily geared toward neighborhood youth. During this past summer with COVID-19, we were still able to provide free programming by making small but mighty changes to our safety protocols. This summer, free programs included a swim team (23 participants), swim lessons for children and adults (199 children and 14 adults), a weekly drop-in basketball program, and an eight-week summer camp with 48 children. In 2021, we plan to expand and enhance our current programs to ensure we are engaging as many neighborhood youth as we can, keeping them actively involved in the summer months.
