Spring Update
In spring, this small, quiet area overlooking the Great Miami River is an excellent place to view the river corridor coming back to life. It’s most prominent feature is the Observation Area overlooking the point where Wolf Creek flows into the Great Miami River; some say this is the best spot in Dayton to meditate and watch a sunrise. Bring your fishing poles and an Ohio fishing license and try your luck on the banks, surrounded by impressive views of downtown Dayton. Be on the lookout for migratory birds, raptors and heron, who also love fishing near this MetroPark. Start a hike along the riverbank or ride your bike on the Great Miami River Bikeway. |

Park Features/Amenities |
|
Sunrise MetroPark is a tiny urban oasis conveniently located just north of downtown
Dayton. Its walkways are filled with stunning views of the city’s skyline that change
with the light of day. Prairie plantings and wildflowers draw in wildlife from the
adjacent river habitat, and make the park a serene spot for relaxing. Catch a glimpse
of the large and graceful blue herons that frequent the area. Watch the Wolf Creek
spill into the Great Miami up close from the paved river walkway at the foot of
the stairs.
