It was a stop that was unplanned but happy we found it! - air conditioned nice restrooms with changing table - parking is near the playground - drinking fountain outside and inside with a water bottle fill station. - splash pad for cooling off May-Sept - bike trails nearby - covered shelter to relax It has a playground that is hot, hot, hot but your kids can cook off at the splash pad adjacent to the playground. It has a neat little train but you can't go into it at all. Fun to look at and for photo ops. Parking lot is close enough to see your kids from the car. There's a porta potty next to the splash pad right now or you can walk to a nearby very new updated building with facilities. I will add the photos of the building and bathrooms. Covered shelter with two picnic tables next to the park.

If you haven't attended, it's definitely worth checking out... There are "settler" and native American encampments and re-enactments all weekend, along with tons to see, do, buy, taste and experience... Wonderful for all ages!! Closest I could compare it to would be the Renaissance Faire south of us, though of course, it's a whole different piece of history. Check out the park during the festival, or other events scheduled year-round. A great local resource!!

I highly recommend George Rogers Clark Park.

Here there is something for everyone. It is a nostalgic place for me and many others who are from…read moreTroy, Ohio. But for many, this is a new and booming place, but it's not exactly new. This is not just any park...here is a little history: In the early 1940's, several Troy residents began clearing the river and the banks of rubbish in hopes of using the area for water activates. They even cleared away the remains of an old wooden damn located just north of the Adams St. Bridge. Then, Edward Alvah (E. A.) and William Hobart took an interest in the park and provided the heavy equipment needed to assist in the process of clearing. That's right...E.A and William Hobart of the Hobart Brothers Corporation. The Hobart Corporation used to be based in Troy, Ohio. Yes, that's right...the ones that created and made Kitchenaid for the home and for commercial use...and they are still made today (just not here). Let us not forget the welders, generators and industrial equipment as well to name a few. They weren't always made in a foreign country. Indeed, Hobart was alive and well in Troy, Ohio and the surrounding area once upon a time. The Corporation put quite the thumbprint on Troy, this is one of them. The leaders of the Hobart Brothers Corporation wanted to provide a location for not only boating enthusiasts, but also for their employees to enjoy the Great Miami River and all activities related to water. So, they constructed a marina, a boathouse, and a launch area with a lighthouse all from the profits of the company. At one time there was a baseball diamond located here and playground equipment as well. The place boomed with boating activities, festivals and company picnics for many years. My grandparents and parents used to speak of the fun times here. In the 1960's, E.A. Hobart gave the boathouse and property to the city of Troy as a gift. Troy accepted and decided it had great recreational potential. It has been utilized in many ways over the years. It has even seen days of non-use and dilapidation as well sadly. Some of my fondest memories growing up were playing out on the island after crossing a bridge...and we always fed the ducks. I used to love to ride my bike down that steep hill coming in and lift my legs & feet off the peddles. We used to rent canoes and paddle boats below...sweet memories. But what was once old, is new again. It brings me tears of joy to see this place come alive again and alive it is indeed. This place not only has its own website now, but it has a Facebook page too! There is a fairly new restaurant in the building called "Smith's Boathouse". The Smith family has a history of their own. I went to school with one of the brothers and was able to enjoy the family restaurant in Maui (Yummy). It is a great addition to the Park. And if you get a chance, please check it out. But not only that, there is now an area for concerts in addition to the typical walks, playing, biking, picnicking or just hanging out and enjoying the view. There is quite the venue these days at Treasure Island. It makes me smile that it is alive again. Although people call it "new", please don't forget the history, how it started, why it's here and how it has evolved. When in Troy...stop down...a water activity may interest you, a stroll, a bike ride...or maybe just the view. These are only a few things you can do there...there is something for everyone...to include finding that special spot for peace and quiet. http://www.troyohio.gov/587/Treasure-Island-Park https://www.facebook.com/pages/Treasure-Island-Park/142286295802726

This mound is approximately 40 feet high, encompasses over one acre and is 574 feet in circumference. It majestically sits in the middle of a neighborhood of middle-class houses.

This is a monument dedicated to Civil War Union soldiers. It was dedicated in 1884 and consists of…read morea large 73-foot high granite column and a 9 and a half foot bronze statue of a solider holding a rifle on top. The original statue was made of Italian marble, but had to be replaced due to deterioration. The sculpture was made in the likeness of Private George Washington Fair, a carpenter and bricklayer born in Dayton who served in the Union Army from 1861 to 1865. It's height is impressive and it is in relatively good shape, especially considering its age and that it was moved twice, once to and new location in 1948 to alleviate traffic and then back to its original location in 1991. There was a copper box containing documents of the time placed "within the granite bosom" of the monument during it 1884 dedication. They were removed in 1948 when the statue was moved. The documents included "copies of all daily and weekly newspapers of the day, the annual reports of the Board of Health and Police Department, a copy of the city directory for 1883 and a large color picture of the unveiling of the monument." I know, exciting stuff. The monument is located in the middle of the street, and has a little plaza with some seating connected to it. If you walk over there then just be careful. You have to cross a busy street. There is metered street parking available within a reasonable walking distance and there is a commercial parking garage located across the street. Definitely worth a look if you are in Dayton. I would probably couple it with a visit to the nearby Riverside Park to maximize your trip and make the most of your visit. FYI: A crowd of 100,000 people witnessed the dedication in 1883. Dayton's population was reported to be 40,000 at that time.
