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.
