Finding greenspaces or areas to stroll can be a challenge in some metro areas. It is always a pleasure to find cities that think about this and take into consideration a place to visit, get away from the hustle of the city streets.

Riverscape Metro Park on Monument Street is a great place to fish, stroll, ride your bike, see some street art and get a great view of the Dayton skyline.

Walking down the multi purpose trail, looking to the right we saw the Masonic Temple building as well as the Dayton Art Museum to it’s right.

While there are many miles of trails connecting the various parts of the city, there are plenty of areas of interest in the park itself.

We highly recommend checking out the park and dropping by the local business right across the street!
