2026 Ground Breaking: Grailville Nature Preserve

Description

Join the Clermont Chamber of Commerce as we celebrate the groundbreaking of Clermont County Park District's Grailville Nature Preserve, a transformative new public greenspace in Loveland.

Grailville Nature Preserve is a 112-acre former farm and retreat center that is being thoughtfully developed into a public preserve with expanded access to nature, recreation, and environmental education. The current project will include small shelter work pods, a restroom facility, natural play area, short paved trail, native landscaping, an outdoor classroom, a boardwalk, and a gathering space that overlooks the expansive fields within an approximately three-acre project area.

Made possible through support from the Clean Ohio Greenspace Fund, Appalachian Community Grant Program, and State Capital Grant funds, the project represents a collaborative investment in conservation and community recreation. Design is being led by Burgess & Niple, construction by Perkins Carmack Construction, and the preserve's trail system will be developed by Clermont County Park District staff.

Scheduled for completion in spring 2027, Grailville Nature Preserve will provide new opportunities for residents and visitors to explore, learn, and connect with nature.

We invite community members, partners, and local leaders to join the Clermont County Park District as they break ground on this exciting addition to Clermont County's park system.
