About the Location
River Setting
DeWeese Park is situated along the Stillwater River, offering visitors scenic views and access to natural areas. The park's location within the DeWeese-Ridgecrest neighborhood adds to the area's appeal as a place filled with green spaces and recreational facilities.
Established in 1929 when Evelyn DeWeese deeded two parcels of land to the City of Dayton with the stipulation that it always be held for park purposes.
Features & Attractions
The park features walking trails that wind through wooded areas and along the river, providing opportunities for hiking, jogging, and nature observation. A notable feature is the Battery D Memorial Bridge, which spans the Stillwater River at Ridge Avenue, commemorating a World War I military unit.
Recreation Opportunities
DeWeese Park is part of a larger green corridor in the area, contributing to the neighborhood's pastoral qualities. The park's natural setting, with mature trees and proximity to the river, makes it a popular spot for picnicking, relaxation, and outdoor recreation.
The park is open from 7AM to 9PM daily and offers parking for visitors.
