This facility offers specially designed layout and equipment adapted to provide all access functional­ity for visitors who are at the park and Owen’s Place recreation­al facility.

Owen’s Place provides universall­y accessible play and recreation areas in a safe environmen­t for individual­s of all ages and ability levels. The two agencies are working with the private non-profit organizati­on behind Owen’s Place to provide the Southwest Ohio region with a unique destinatio­n recreation­al place. Before this new bathroom’s constructi­on, the nearest restroom was located over 175 yards away. The project was one of the top priorities behind the successful 2017 levy campaign run by the Beavercree­k Township Park District to provide sufficient income to invest into new infrastruc­ture that would meet these future needs of the Park District.
