Community Partnerships
The Roselawn Community Council maintains a significant working partnership with the Cincinnati Recreation Commission at Roselawn Park. In June, 2001 INVEST awarded a Neighbor Network Merit Grant to create a treed garden with benches at the Eastlawn Entrance.
In 2001 and 2002 the Roselawn Community Council secured trees for the park under Urban Forestry's Spring Re-Leaf Program. This city-wide program, open to households as well as institutional members of the neighborhoods of the City of Cincinnati has furnished the Kousa dogwood trees for the Eastlawn Entrance Garden, seven Hedge maples, and a pair of magnolias to be installed at the Seymour entrance to the Park.
