Representatives from Deer Park and the Bengals attended a groundbreaking ceremony on Monday.
The grant will help to install artificial stadium turf, new goal posts and asphalt in necessary areas at the Deer Park Jr./Sr. High School stadium. This will allow for additional use of the field for more football games, as well as other sporting events, physical education classes and band usage.
The grant is the latest in an ongoing program in which the Bengals and the NFL have coordinated to distribute $1.5 million to local schools for new football fields. Other schools include Clinton-Massie High School, Covington Catholic High School, Lockland High School, Oak Hills High School, Taylor High School, Withrow University High School and Midway Elementary School.
