Deerfield Township

With approximately 30,000 residents, Deerfield Township is a premier community in which to live, work and do business. Situated in the southwest quadrant of Warren County, the Township has immediate access to Interstate 71 and is less than two miles from I-75 to the west and I-275 to its south. Located 18 miles from downtown Cincinnati along I-71, proximity to the city and major highways makes Deerfield Township a choice site for businesses to locate and expand. Deerfield Township has been ranked 18th among the largest tri-state cities and townships. This ranking honored the Township as the only community in Warren County to rank within the top 20.  For more information about Deerfield Township, click here or on the logo.

The Park

Deerfield Honors Veterans, Inc. is a not-for profit public supported corporation formed for the purpose of developing and maintaining a community park to honor the service of all past and present members of our Armed Forces.  The concept has been under consideration for several years and The Corporation was formed in 2002 to develop an appropriate tribute to those who have served and those who are serving today.  Members of The Corporation include a small, but dedicated group of Deerfield Township residents who want to ensure the legacy of those who have "put it all on the line" in the cause of freedom.  When completed, the park will be a unique and lasting salute to past, present and future generations who take up the call to arms in order that the rest of us may remain free.

To date, with contributions from local businesses and individuals, a location has been secured, plans have been completed, and construction has begun.  With the help of Deerfield Township Trustees, property was secured in the northwest edge of Cottell Park at the corner of Snider and Irwin-Simpson Roads.  Cottell Park is the crown jewel of the Deerfield Township Park system, and an ideal location for this community-oriented project.

Before her death in 2001, Mary Cottell, patroness of the park, generously donated $50,000 to the parks system.  In 2005, new baseball and soccer fields were added and the walking/jogging path was completed.  A recent $750,000 upgrade project improved the park's lighting, drainage, roadways and parking areas.  A new restroom is under construction and picnic areas, protective shelters and a fishing boardwalk are in the planning stages. The Snyder House, located at the park, can be rented for receptions, parties and events.   To learn more about Cottell Park, click here.
