The staff is friendly and helpful, not to mention patient with my kids. There was a problem for a while with some high school kids hanging out in front of the entrance and making patrons uncomfortable (though they were harmless as far as I know), and that has been resolved. There's always a security person walking around and often greeting patrons at the door.

So we packed up the car and came here ASAP. This park will be great to visit when it's officially warm. The jungle gym has three sections for three different age groups, which is awesome! You don't have to worry about the little ones getting run over by the bigger kids. They also have a little warmer park/sprinkler section that is fenced off and will be open when summer comes. Lastly, there's an amphitheater. I'm hoping there will be concerts there this summer. The trail I mentioned goes on to Wegerzyn Park. I think it's about a five minute bike ride or a 15-20 minute walk.

I love this park. It was the first weekend in May when my daughter & 2 grandchildren brought me…read morehere for the first time. After many weeks of self quarantine I was so excited to be spending a few days up in Dayton. My first impression of @islandmetropark was it's large size and many paved trails that are great for hiking, walking, running and bike riding. These trails traverse across large open fields of grass past trees, soccer fields, tennis courts, jungle jims & swing sets. Unfortunately the swing sets and jungle jims were closed to people due to the covid-19 pandemic. My grandson's favorite trail took us across a small suspension bridge over a river where people can frequently be seen kayaking. He also enjoys playing on the river bank close, to where the roadway passes by the park. The day we were there the park staff was very busy working on the park landscaping and we saw geese that my grandson wanted to chase. My daughter likes that the paved trails are great to use when it's been raining. My grandson loves to run and play in the fields of grass. This park has something for everyone and is great for families! Until next time be kind to each other and stay healthy. @yelpcincy @islandmetropark @dayton #familyfun #suspensionbridge #cityparks

This DML branch opened in 2019. Like other DML branches, it is clean and well-maintained…read more It has a larger children's and teen's section than some of the other branches, including a teen quad and opportunity space which appears to be geared towards arts and crafts. Reservable spaces include a quad for up to 4 people, group room for up to 8 people, conference room for up to 10 people and large community room for up to 90 people. There's also a quiet reading area with two 4-person tables, two 2-person tables and some reading chairs. Most of these spaces are on the inner portion of the library, so they lack windows. Other than the reservable spaces, there's not a whole lot of other places to sit -- only two other larger tables, one of which is occupied by a community puzzle. Of note, it gets rather cold here so bring a jacket if you plan on staying a while!

The library has a community room which was a great space for our event. It was a smooth experience.read more

The West Carrollton branch of the DML library system shares a building with the Civic Center,…read morealthough you aren't really able to tell from the inside. It boasts just over 16,000 square feet and was renovated in 2018. Reservable spaces include two 4-person quads, a 10-person conference room and a community room for up to 50 people. The conference room at this location is one of the larger conference rooms I've seen thus far at any DML branch, with reclining office chairs to boot. However, neither the quads or conference room have windows facing the outside. There is a quiet room with a two 4-person tables and a couple reading chairs that does have windows to allow light in from the outside. There is also a teen corner with a few booths, but other than that there are limited tables throughout the main part of the library, mainly just reading chairs. Like all DML branches, this branch is clean and well-maintained.

I drove there on a day they were going to be open .. went around 1pm .. figured no way they wouldn't be open. Well do the the carona virus they were only open for 3 hours .. 3-6. I called and said didn't know .. only have 1 item and i'm here now. Nooooo way could they be bothered. instead they put people items in the lobby where anyone could take them. i was the only one there .. and the staff were in there ... I was speechless at their attitude. Another time i put a movie on hold .. was waited and waited and waited A YEAR .. apparently not all the branches share the items bought with tax dollars. i challenge you to put a movie on hold at any of the Dayton branches and do the same at any other area libraries ... you will die of old age waiting on Dayton. The only reason i use it is there is a rare time when the other libraries dont have something. but not a fan. Especially when they are funded by donations and taxes .. you'd think they would be more concerned with providing better service to keep the donations and voters willing to fund them.

I've been to these places and had the typical "we hate you for coming and wish you would go away" experience, but this place has been awesome both times I've been. A small office with friendly people and quick/efficient service. Both times I've gone to this location I've been in and out in under 30 minutes (this last time I might have been there for 15). Probably better that they don't do driver's tests, etc., but if all you need is some documents updated, renewal of driver's license, or other items that don't require you to go to one of the main locations in town, this is it.

I only waited for five minutes, though there were four customers in front of me. Sandy behind the desk was very helpful and friendly and hand-walked me through registering my license plates, which have been long overdue. I don't know whether it was because I'm military or for a different reason, but the late fees were waived, saving me around $60. I left a satisfied customer and will definitely come back for future driving needs.
