Deweese Park

DeWeese Park is a public green space located in Dayton, Ohio. The park is situated along the Stillwater River, offering visitors scenic views and access to natural areas. It was 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.

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.

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 accessible during daylight hours and offers parking for visitors. Its location within the DeWeese-Ridgecrest neighborhood adds to the area's appeal as a place filled with green spaces and recreational facilities.
