Sunrise Park, located off Veteran’s Memorial Parkway on Waterworks Road, has been developed into a high profile, activity filled area. It is rarely without someone enjoying the garden and other beautiful scenery along the Ohio River.
The areas maintained and planted by SWIMGA consist of two beds on either side of the gazebo in the front of the ornamental grasses, and the front circular bed that welcomes visitors into the park. The emphasis on these butterfly friendly beds has been low maintenance, drought tolerant perennials, and large drifts of annual zinnias and salvias. Educational programs are offered during the summer months for children.
This project was voted SWIMGA Project of the Year 2005, KEB Community Adopt-A-Spot of the Year 2006, and KEB Distinguished Adopter Award 2007 and 2008.
