About the Location
Your Neighborhood Oasis
Positioned in the Historic South Park neighborhood of Dayton, Blommel Park represents a cherished gathering spot where locals come to unwind and families create lasting memories. It's not sprawling, but what this cozy green space lacks in size, it makes up for in community spirit.
What You'll Find Here
The park recently got a major upgrade with brand-new playground equipment installed in 2024. Little ones have their own dedicated space with adorable Little Tyke additions - think cute cozy cottages and beginner slides meant for tiny adventurers taking their first playground steps.
Older kids haven't been forgotten, with modern swings that accommodate various ages. The two-seated swing is a particular hit, where parents and kids (or friends) can sway together. And no visit is complete without a ride on the iconic purple Dayton dinosaur ride-ons - these quirky classics bring smiles to faces young and old alike.
Take a Break
When it's time to refuel or just catch your breath, you'll come across several picnic tables and benches scattered throughout the grounds. These spots are ideal for enjoying a packed lunch or simply sitting back while keeping an eye on the kids as they play.
The park's historic fence adds a touch of charm to the space while also providing some peace of mind if you're visiting with little explorers who tend to wander.
Getting There
As a neighborhood park primarily designed for locals, Blommel Park is wonderfully accessible for residents who can stroll over on foot. If you're coming from further afield, note that there's no dedicated parking lot - you'll need to find legal street parking in the surrounding neighborhood.
This little green sanctuary offers a welcome breath of fresh air amid the urban landscape, providing a simple but meaningful space where the South Park community connects, plays, and relaxes.
