Note the hour difference between winter and summer.

We finally had some nice weather about a month ago and we were dying to get out of the house. I…read morefound out about a nice biking/walking trail that begins at this park. 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

We enjoyed the recent Historical Presentation, organized and set-up by Ms. Nancy! Ms. Nancy set-up beautiful tea cups and plates, and napkins and hot tea and cupcakes, for delicious desserts! Ms. Nancy works very hard and her presentations bring History alive and vibrant to us, all! A Volunteer, Ms. Leslie, did a beautiful job, hard work, detailed research, on The Brave Women Of The Revolutionary War, and The Tea Party, bringing History alive, in an educational and fun manner! Ms. Leslie wore a great looking Woman's Revolutionary Dress/Costume, looking like she had just step out of a Traveling Time Machine! Ms. Leslie brought delicious home made cookies from a old recipe from that time era, of that time during The Revolutionary War time! Thank you so much to Ms. Nancy and to all the library workers there, and to great volunteers, like Ms. Leslie, who does detailed Historical research, and brings History alive to all of us!!

After visiting a different Dayton Metro Library branch last week and being rather impressed, I…read moredecided to stop by the Southeast (Belmont) branch. It is located adjacent to Belmont High School, and if you have any trouble finding it on Apple maps like I did, just continue east on Wayne Ave past Belmont High School, take a slight right onto Watervliet Ave and the parking lot entrance is on your right. According to the website, this branch opened in August 2019. They have several different study/meeting spots, including three 4-person rooms, two 2-person 'tutor' rooms and two group study rooms to accommodate 6-8 people. In addition they have various tables and reading areas spread throughout. In the back left corner you will find a 'quiet reading room' with several tables and a few chairs. After spending the morning there, I only had a few qualms. The lightening in the quiet reading room is not the brightest, and if it weren't for the natural light coming in through the windows, the room would be rather dim (thinking at night time or on a cloudy day). Also, there was a pretty annoying consistent clicking sound that appeared to be coming from one of the air vent ducts in the quiet reading room. I ended up moving out into a different area because of it. Overall though, this is a very nice, clean library with several spots to read a book or get some work done.
