This park is absolutely stunning! Beatiful trees, and "edible garden", and the most indredible tree house you've ever seen. Great walking paths and ponds, too. Perfect place for family, wedding, or senior pictures. And the dog that is "on staff" is just adorable!
This park has very nice views and some lovely walks. There is a seasonal butterfly house. There is also a tall observation tower that is surprisingly easy to walk up! Beautifully designed and constructed. A wedding was setting up in the Edible Garden the Saturday we visited. I'm sure this place is pretty in any season. Worth a visit!
The gardens are fun to walk through. We especially enjoyed the Edible Landscape Garden. We spent a couple of hours walking around and enjoying the different types of gardens, trails, Butterfly House, ponds, unique trees, and observation tower. What a treasure the city of Dayton has in its metropark system!
Beautiful, peaceful setting with several walking paths along with ponds, gardens and a butterfly house. They also offer educational programs and some cozy, inviting rental spaces for banquets and events.
This is a very beautiful park. We have been there several times to take prom photos of our kids, and have seen several weddings there as well.The park is actually the place where my husband proposed 25 years ago.We also enjoy taking walks at the park, enjoying the pond, gazebo, flowers, etc.If you have never been there, you should stop by and check it out.
Great for hiking, running, and photography. Great way to spend an afternoon just taking in the sites. There are many trails that venture off the main gardens if you like to hike. Wear comfy shoes. Staff is doing incredible work with the garden design and upkeep. Keep an eye out for Zipp, the border collie. Check out the Tree Tower, great views!
Cox Arboretum is an amazing asset to our region of Ohio. It provides many different outdoor pleasures and education opportunities - as well as wonderful volunteer opportunities for those who are so inclined. The programs for school children; the butterfly house (native butterflies): the tower; the Maimon Memorial Garden in the Edible Landscape; and so much more. Come and see for yourself.
Beautiful place to take a walk. They have several trails, some hills but none too strenuous. Will occasionally see deer wandering in the woods.
The 189 acres that constitute Cox Arboretum provide a variety of natural experiences that include scenic ponds, a prairie, woodland trails, streams, an edible landscape garden and gazebo, a children's maze, and much more. Programs offered here through the MetroParks administration include events for toddlers through adult. This is a venue not to be missed.
Great place for a hike, walk by a pond or just a place to go clear your mind. Also great for picture taking and observing nature, it's a true asset to the Dayton community and a wonderful place to visit anytime of the year
