When a local resident heard about the new projects at Heritage Park, they wanted to give and make an impact for the next generation. We are happy to announce that a local resident, who wishes to remain anonymous, is willing to donate up to $100,000 towards the new playground! There is one catch, the donation is a matching gift. So, every dollar that you give towards the playground project will be matched and your donation will be doubled.
If you would like to donate towards this matching grant, donations may be made payable to Heritage Park and mailed to PO Box 108, Versailles, OH 45380. If you have a question or are interested in learning more, email HeritageParkVersailles@gmail.com or contact: Tony Rose 937-638-3132, HB Hole 937-417-5945 or Brian Griesdorn 937-417-3227. The Heritage Park board is also considering additional improvements and would welcome your support and input. Please donate.
The Heritage Park Board is planning the next phase of improvements. The Heritage Park and Poultry Days boards are asking for your support to fund a $500,000 project. The first priority is construction of restrooms near the amphitheater. As use of the amphitheater has grown the need for closer restrooms has become evident. The addition would also benefit larger events held at the 40-acre park such as MusicFest. The second addition is lighting. Adding lighting around the park, including lighting walkways to parking lots is needed to improve safety. The third addition is a larger playground. The playground will replace the older playground and provide additional children’s activities for different age ranges.
Heritage Park was established in 1985 by Poultry Days with a second phase added shortly thereafter. The Heritage Park Board was established to actively manage the park and oversee maintenance and improvement. While open to the public, the park is privately owned and does not receive government funding. Operations are funded from Poultry Days festival proceeds and substantial volunteer labor from the Heritage Park Board.
