Shor Park is the newest park in the Clermont County Park District. Dedicated in October 2010, the park is named in honor of S. David Shor. The 56-acre parcel of land was donated to the Park District by his wife, Sylvia Shor, in 2003. The park features three walking trails winding through the many open fields on the property. Summer is the perfect time to watch birds and butterflies inhabiting the property. Many of the fields flood in the spring, providing an excellent habitat for chorus frogs, spring peepers and American toads. Plans for additional park improvements in 2018 will be announced soon.
In 2014, with help from the Clermont Soil and Water Conservation District, the Park District completed a Wetland Restoration Project at Shor Park. The project was funded by a Surface Water Improvement Fund grant from the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency. The completed project restored 10 acres of wetland habitat along Tealtown Road. The wetlands are crucial not only to providing a habitat for native wildlife, but also to protecting and improving water quality within the East Fork watershed. As part of the restoration effort, invasive plants like autumn olive and callery pear trees were removed with native wetland plants planted in their place. Visitors can learn more about the project by walking the wetlands and reading the interpretive signs along the trail.
