This park along the river is very nice. When the weather allows it seems there is food stands and kayaks to rent. We were there in not great weather but I am sure this would be a great place to kayak. It is a great place to walk and get away from traffic and noise of the city no matter the weather.

A beautiful park is an understatement! If you are coming down the highway and see the sprays, you want to track them down! We were in from out of state and were just driving along. We followed the roads and hopped out to have a look. Just as we were walking down the path, they stopped. We didn’t know any kind of schedule so we walked around and took in the scenery. Sculptures, flowers…a beautiful place to take photos. Then suddenly, the highest sprays of water you have ever seen! We were so glad we waited. Breathtaking!

Going through Dayton on a road trip and decided to check out an outdoor point of interest because of pandemic. We strolled around the river edge with our dog. The big fountains on the river were a nice surprise. They turn on every so many minutes and depending on which way the wind blows, you might get sprayed like what happened to us. Nice place to check out though if you want to chill out.

The Metroparks did a fabulous job on thier flagship entertainment and winter gives a perfect background for days to ice skate or bike the bikeway to or from the downtown riverscape and downtown activities. Some food there and each year it gets some better but I would rate the food a 4 out of 10 and the wait for food really sucks if it is busy. apck a backpack lunch. The mark district has one flaw There are Rangers EVERYWHERE and pretty stoic. You know the thumbs on you there and god help you if you have a beer on thier property and its not a sanctioned event. but enjoy as it is alot of money spent on a grand location on the river. and, they have really cool gardens and pools to watch the street irchens watch you.

I agree with other travelers that it is a nice and peaceful place to spend some time at. Even though it is in downtown Dayton you do not hear all the noise associated with it. This is a nice park to walk right by the Great Miami River and enjoy your views. This past Winter (2010-2011) they opened an Ice Skating rink. During the summer they have many different entertainment options.

I had the pleasure of spending time at Riverscape. I enjoyed the water fountains,landscaping,various informative plaques.We had the pleasure of hearing a young man play his trumpet at rivers edge so it echoed from the concrete wall across the river. Interesting to read and see tributes to Frase inventor of the pull tab. There was such a variety in such relaxing surroundings it is difficult to do it justice. Time well spent.

A lot of cities have walking paths along their rivers. We walked Dayton's at both night time and during the day and were impressed. It seems to be kept up nicely and felt safe. The lights on the river were beautiful at night. The swings, statues and fountains along the trail were fun. It looks like there are fun concerts and other events if you are there at the right time.

This is a lovely riverwalk through downtown Dayton. The walk is well-kept and there are many nice swinging benches to sit in and take in the view. Don't miss the Wright Flyer. One word of Caution-there is a sketchy element here-panhandlers, mostly, but one can never know.

It's cool Dayton has done so much with their riverfront. The fountains and plantings really make this a place that is inviting. The kids love the splash fountains! We were there during the Celtic Festival, and the park was the perfect venue!

We actually saw the fountains from I-75 and decided to take a pit stop to check them out. We happened to walk right into the Irish Festival. A great time. The rivet walk was nice, good bike path for families. Definitely worth the stop.
