This downtown gathering area features many activities all year long. In the warm months, there is a wide range of festivals and live entertainment. In the colder months, there is ice skating and hot chocolate. Always something going on for the entire family.
This park is stationed smack dab in the middle of downtown Dayton with the river right next to it. There are lots of festivals that take place at this location, which is perfect because there is a massive stage for performers. There are also tons of activities at Riverscape to include work out sessions that are FREE and other exciting activities. I highly recommend checking this place out, especially when there is a festival or activity taking place.
Riverscape sits parallel to the Great Miami River. Often you will see people fly fishing. There is a Interactive Fountain for kids to run through, and a snack bar to get a quick lunch or ice cream cone. This is a great spot to cool off on a hot summer day among beautiful landscape, flowering pots, and hanging baskets. There is Saturday morning fitness programs and during the summer there are festivals and music. Its a great place to relax, read a book and just enjoy being outside.
The city has spend time and money fixing up this section of downtown. They offer a variety of outdoor activities for the whole family. And offer many types of entertainment. This area is close to the baseball field and I feel very safe in this section of downtown after dark.
Weather permitting they have a couple restaurants that you can grab a lunch at and enjoy the views and sometimes entertainers. The fountains shoot water up out of the river occasionally and it is quite a site. On weekends you can rent bikes, and they also have entertainment. But the bike trails are the best ever.
Being a native, this downtown oasis is a popular place to either go and get wet with the kiddies or to have some relaxing time to think. There are all sorts of little attractions to do such a bike ride, row boats etc.
Great Place in the city to walk along the river, listen to music or enjoy one of the many festivals they have during the year, in the summer it seems like there is something going on every weekend including free concerts,Taste of Dayton and much more. Scenery is great, landscape and all the flowers are beautiful..
Great scene loving the landscape surounded by children's laughter a nice park day or night wonderful light shows during the summer
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.
This was such a welcome addition to add interest to a possibly dying downtown area. Adding whitewater rafting will only help more. Festivals downtown are great
