“I can confidently say this park is one of the biggest and best projects that we’ve embarked on to date,” said Erlanger Mayor Jessica Fette.
Fette’s words presaged Wednesday’s groundbreaking of a massive parks project slated for construction in Erlanger. The event gave an overview of the project’s scope and goals and featured speeches from local and state elected officials and business leaders.
Newly dubbed as the Eons Adventure Park, the project will feature over 1,000 acres of urban woodland, 20 miles of mountain biking trails, a network of tree canopy trails and other amenities.
City of Erlanger “This park will set a new standard for what a community space can be, and I cannot wait to see the impact it will have on Erlanger and Northern Kentucky as a whole,” Fette said.
Although this is the first time the project has received this much fanfare, it’s not the first time the city’s talked about it in public. The city held a public workshop in July for the residents of the Cherry Hill neighborhood, which abuts the park, going over preliminary plans for the project and how it will affect the subdivision.
