About Kingswood Park
Kingswood Park is an abandoned golf course, formerly called Kingswood Golf Course. It has been maintained by Deerfield Township for the last decade or so. There are plans to develop this property and those of us who use this green space are trying to prevent this and have the property turned into an "official" park. We have formed a group called "Friends of Kingswood Park" to further that end.

The southern end has been kept mowed and has many mature trees, while the northern end hasn't been mowed and it now nice, scrubby habitat. There are also a couple of good sized ponds on the property. There are lots of birds feeding and nesting here. From Sandy Leeson

Deerfield Township purchased the former Kingswood Golf Course property in 2006 as an investment in the future. Since 2006, the property has been used primarily as a passive green space. Certain major transportation improvements will be made to the property in 2017.

The extension of Innovation Way, a four-lane boulevard, from Socialville-Foster Road to Duke Boulevard, has been a part of the Warren County Thoroughfare Plan that will be completed as part of the overall improvements to the Fields-Ertel and Western Row interchanges which will enable improved vehicular access throughout the area.

The Warren County Transportation Improvement District began the bidding process for the construction of Innovation Way in October of 2016. The roadway is expected to be open in late 2017.

The remainder of the property will be developed as a high-end, mixed-use development while allowing for significant green space to remain. The overall development will include a series of walking trails and other park and green space amenities.

The Township intends to have a development which will include an area reminiscent of a historic town square to allow for the gathering of residents as a community, surrounded by smaller scale businesses, single and multi-family residences, including condominiums, townhomes, row houses, and apartments while allowing for maximum walkability within the project area. To the extent it is commercially reasonable, prominent sites within the project will include civic facilities and spaces for meetings, education, cultural and wellness activities, and public entertainment. Large and small parks and playgrounds accentuating the existing natural terrain of the site will be interspersed among the businesses and residences, which along with tree-lined streets, will create a lush, natural feel to the community.

The Master Developer will be selected based on their overall experience and ability to provide the type of development that the community is seeking. It is expected that the actual development of the site may begin as soon as the Winter of 2017. Kingswood Park webpage
