Village of Cleves

The Village of Cleves is located in the “Heart of the Three Rivers Valley.” Outdoor enthusiasts enjoy our proximity to the Whitewater River for fishing, canoeing -kayaking, and bird watching. Miami West Park is operated and maintained by the Miami Township Trustees and is located ½ mile from the heart of our downtown. Residents and visitors enjoy the walking/bike trails, tennis and paddle ball courts, softball, baseball, and soccer fields for free. Netted batting cages are available for the young and old to improve their batting eyes. Residents love to walk along the scenic Great Miami River.

The Cleves Community Park is also located just across US 50. Residents and visitors can purchase an annual pass for $6.00. Daily admission is just $3.00. There are three baseball fields, picnic shelters, a BMX track, walking/bicycle trails, and tennis and paddle ball courts. The park hosts multiple soccer fields, leagues, and tournaments throughout the summer and fall. A brand-new children’s playground was installed last year.

Those who love history will not be disappointed.
