Easter Bunny Neighborhood
Visit
Sat - April 1st
Approx 2 pm
We are excited to announce that the Easter Bunny will be arriving in town for a visit on Saturday, April 1st, 2023, and the Fort Wright Police and Fire Departments will have the honor of escorting her as she travels many of our city streets.
When you hear horns and sirens blasting in your neighborhood please step outside on your porch, front lawn, or simply wave from your windows to greet the bunny as the motorcade passes by. For those not living directly along the route of passage the schedule is provided here so you can make sure to park or walk to a more accessible location.
Please be safe and stay clear of all moving vehicles. The motorcade begins at 2:00 pm. We hope to see you in the neighborhood!
Hippity, Hoppity, Easter is on its way!

Poll Workers Needed for Election Day
Please sign up to help citizens exercise their right to VOTE.
The number of poll workers in Northern Kentucky is at a critical low, and the availability of poll workers will dictate how many polling locations are available on election day. If a county doesn’t have enough poll workers, it limits the county clerk’s ability to offer numerous voting precincts. Please consider signing up to work the polls this election day.
Click here and select the ‘KY Needs Poll Workers’ tab to sign up!

Visit Volunteer Park
31 Park Road
Volunteer Park was first constructed in 1985 by members of the Fort Wright Volunteer Fire Department and over time the need to replace the aging play structure became necessary for safety purposes. City Council took this opportunity to re-imagine the area to better appeal to a broader range of children and individuals wishing to utilize outdoor spaces and a major renovation was completed in 2022.
Volunteer Park, a small pocket park nestled on approximately one (1) acre of green space that is interwoven in one of our many thriving neighborhoods, is now home to a multifaceted modern play structure geared towards children ages 5 to 12, and a new handicap accessible swing which is situated on a natural looking poured in place rubberized safety surface.
Playing off the history of the property, which at one time was a portion of the Green Line Trolley System, the park features a green steam engine customized for imaginative toddler play. This area also features a Little Free Library and comfortable chairs nearby for reading children books. Other park amenities available are a picnic table, and a small open field for free play. Visitors can also bring their leashed and friendly dog for an outing we just kindly ask that you clean up after your pet by utilizing the newly installed pet waste disposal system. Park hours are dawn to dusk.
