Spring Update

This small, quiet area overlooking the Great Miami River is an excellent place to view the river corridor coming back to life with a backdrop of downtown Dayton. It’s most prominent feature is the observation area overlooking the point where Wolf Creek flows into the Great Miami River; an area where numerous species of birds and aquatic life can be found.

About The Park

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.
