My kids and I love RiverScape. We have been biking, walking, Pokemon hunting, enjoyed days at the water feature that you can run through, been to concerts, festivals. I have walked alone down here and have always felt safe, even on my middle of the night solo strolls.

Unseasonably cool August day with a light breeze and blue skies. The fountain in the river is always beautiful with great bits of history throughout including a metal sculpture of Orville and Wilber Wright with their flying machine. Aside from the faint wafting scent of urine, which sadly seems to be a staple in many public metro spaces, its a great place to enjoy a stroll or carry-in meal outdoors. Easy to social distance.

Enjoy walking next to the river. Its so peaceful despite what one may think sure to the highway traffic an such. Area was clean for the most part, thats mainly on the people visiting just dropping their trash though.

It’s cool that the park is in Downtown Dayton. Likely wouldn’t go again unless there was an event there or if I lived there. But still cool to go and see. Kayaking also seemed like a cool option

A place to visit if you are in Dayton, Ohio area.The Five Rivers Fountain of Lights is one of the worlds largest fountain and operates for 10 minutes between 6:55AM - 9:55PM (Weekdays) and 10:55AM - 9:55PM (Weekends).

Review №72

Riverscape was a great idea for downtown. When they had the fountains going, the live music, and summer fireworks it was a great way to have an outing with the family. Now its just there. They still host some events and do things like ice skating in the winter but for the most part, the most exciting thing going on there is yoga on Sunday morning.

Nice walk. Path was a little muddy due to High river in last two weeks, but thats acceptable for a river back path.

Review №78

It’s a decent place. The kids love to ply in the fountains and we drive by to let them play Pokémon Go often. We wouldn’t never allow our kids to get out of the car with their iPads though due to witnessing people walk up to children and trying to take their electronics. It’s a nice place to be as long as you have nothing of value with you. The Celtic festival is probably one of my favorite events during the year!

One of the beautiful Metropark under Five rivers Metropark. It’s very close to downtown Dayton. Park itself is not big but has long biking trails, beautiful gardens and seating areas. River walk is truly awesome at early evening with great river view.

Review №83

The main entrance and beautifully gardened walking park and ice arena are an example of the gentrification of downtown Dayton. The river is sculptured for small rapids and kayaking. Great cycling and running paths.

Review №84

Its a wonderful place for quiet serenity to sit back and catch some scenery and nature that a lot of citizens tend to take for granted and also at either Dusk and/or Dawn it OS very beautiful to watch as the Sun Rises and/or Sets. Plus its also a bit Educational, watching as the City/States Contractors do the Excavating and Constructing of the Newly Renovated Infrastructure I.e., Bridges, Bends in the River, & the New WaterWorks/Sewage Waste Water/Treatment Systems. Men, Women, & Children of all ages can find a way to educate their minds and their souls. Because beauty of the earth in all its Splendor is always Breathtakingly Medicinal in some ways. Especially within art and how the artists, move their brushes over the board or canvas. Hope to see you down there some time. Spring, Summer, & the first bits of Fall is the best to me anyhow. May God Bless All. Our Country, Our President, Our Constitution, Our G.I.s Who have died, who are in the field assigned to another Country Doing what theyre told to do whether they like it or agree with it or not. And to our Veterans as well. All of you are within my thoughts, my Emotions, and my Everything Always & Forever. Penned by: Gen. James E. Todd, Jr. U.S. Army 35B/JCS

Review №86

A family friendly place wher the young, and young at heart, can enjoy a round of ice skating, order a giant hot dog and a soda pop at the snack bar, or just take in the view of the Miami river. You can rent skates there, or bring your own. I felt perfectly safe taking my wife and two daughters down to the park to enjoy the afternoon.

We went ice-skating oh, the weather was terrible it was raining but the ice rink arena is covered so we still had a wonderful time. There is a warming Hut which was very nice. This is a very nice venue for ice skating in the winter I highly recommend it!

Great place to view storms, but the river is really dirty and has a lot of trash. Wouldnt go near the water.

Review №91

Great getaway in downtown with awesome views of the river from one of the many relaxing bench swings. There are nicely maintained plants and water fountains to mask the sights and sounds of the surrounding city. During summer there is a small splash pad for kids and a lot of patio tables for parents to sit and watch. There are 2 Cafes and public restrooms. This is easily accessible from the multi-use trail system.

Im so fortunate to work so closely to a beautiful setting where I can walk on my lunches. In addition to the splash pad for kids, concession stands in the summer, kayaking for the adventurous types, there are multiple flower beds that are impeccably maintained. I enjoy spending my lunches here spring through fall.

Beautiful views of the river and downtown Dayton. Love the swings along the bike path. Perfect to chill with your honey after a walk together. The bridges have lights that look amazing at night! The fountains go off every hr and sometimes they are lit up as well! Dayton is not only strong, but beautiful as well.

For a downtown park this is very cute and has some great views looking up and down the river. It really brings the riverfront into the downtown area.
