*This Rating is for the Bark Park dog park inside Snyder Park*…read moreCame here for a Siberian Husky group meet up and was very impressed. I have been to many dog parks in the greater Cincy/Dayton area and this is by far the nicest. The fence is higher than most, which is a bonus to prevent escapees. It was a very clean park with responsible owners. There are stations for poop bags along with trash cans. Placed throughout are giant logs for dogs to play on or owners to sit. There are many benches and nice trees providing shade. There is a water fountain and even a hydrant that mists the dogs with water. If you are looking for a great place to allow your dog to safely play off leash, this is your spot!

And shaded benches for the parents. Huge, old-school central city park. Ponds, plenty of parking, remnants of what must have been canoe livery and other attractions in years gone by. Shelters. Plenty of trees and also plenty of open space. A gem for the city, and I envy people who live right nearby.

The…read moreschool had an arrangement with Glen Helen that allowed us a week-long (I think!) residential visit during which we stayed in dorms and were assigned counselors whom I suppose were Antioch students. I remember being dazzled by the waterfalls and entranced by the pine forest. I'm now 70 years old and live in Colorado, but make a point to revisit this majestic place whenever I return to visit family in the Dayton area.

Hadn't been here in years. They now charge for parking.

I went down the stone stairs ... they were slippery but was glad i still could manage them. They have changed things ... added wooden pathways and more water at the bottom of the stairs. I'd hoped walk to both waterfalls. But wearing new shoes and saw it was muddy. So just headed back up the stairs to the car. They have bird feeders at the buildings. Nice place to hike. Parking is 10 bucks.

John Bryan State Park is a beautiful 750 acre park near Yellow Springs, Ohio. It's a great place…read moreto take a nature hike, especially during the fall when the leaves are changing. The trails are clean and well kept. If hiking isn't your thing, there are lots of areas to play frisbee, let your kids run around, or have a picnic in the shade. It's about a 45 minute drive for us, so we don't go often but when we do go once or twice a year, we always enjoy this beautiful park.

Clifton Gorge State Nature Preserve is my first state park I have visited in Ohio, and it did not…read moredisappoint. I'm not a hiker, but I found the trail to be a somewhat easy hike for a senior and the walkways and guardrails were well-maintained. There are lots of benches to sit on to take in nature, darling native plants, and plenty of interesting facts to read about along the trail. We saw photos and explanations of how the Little Miami River was used to power grist and cotton mills, paper factories, and breweries. In the information building, we were greeted by the very friendly ranger, who gave us a botanical identification brochure (it would have been very useful during the hike) and introduced us to the turtles in their enclosure. The preserve was quiet, and we enjoyed ourselves so much. This is just the start of our adventure of the Clifton Gorge, and there are so many more activities to explore. We hope to be back during another season when the water in the gorge is flowing more rapidly.

One of the most surprisingly beautiful "hidden gems" I've seen in this area!! I was actually…read moreplanning to check out another local attraction (Pearl's Fen) but this place was on the way, so I stopped, mostly out of curiosity, and I'm SO glad I did!! I had limited time, but did make it about 3/4 of the way around the main trail, with stops along the way to take pictures. Wonderful, varied scenery, varied terrain, and VERY scenic!! This old quarry has been "repurposed" and is a great spot to "get away from it all" without going too far. A good-sized lake, a few easy to moderate trails (the rocky lake overlooks are nice!!) and plenty of parking are what you'll find. No, not the best trail markings/maps, but if I figured it out, anyone can!! A great spot to discover in Greene County, I'll be back!!
