Wonderful place for hiking, kayak, fishing, canoe and camping…Good for outdoor reactions… Nice place to enjoy the fresh air and watch the sunset.
Great place to enjoy a peaceful walk.
Excellent place to relax. We have the opportunity to have a small BBQ... Quiet and beautiful place.
The pictures dont do it justice. I have a really low quality phone and the sun wasnt out today. Its a beautiful Park! Its good for people who would want to walk on a path that is paved. Just go check it out you wont regret it. Make sure to explore a little bit it has some nooks and crannies that you might not notice if you dont look around real well...:)
My dad has taken us here more times than I remember. family gathering just because weekends I had the best memories here give your kids the same my dad would go out his way drive an hour from Cincinnati I absolutely recommend this park!
This is a wonderful place to visit. Two parks in one. One entrance is the park with the walking, biking, and picnicking areas. te other entrance has the lake, boat launch, and lots of blue birds. We enjoy walking the park. It is clean and not overcrowded during the week. We also visited it during a foreign car show, that was fun. Great photo ops.
Beautiful sunset at this park. Love being by the water here!
Beautiful park with lots of parking and a number of quaint bridges and paths to walk, run, bike, etc. Lots of wildlife there, I saw an opossum, beaver or muskrat, great blue heron, and a hawk. There is also a playground and plenty of picnic pavilions.
Visiting here evening gives you refreshing mood. Pretty cool breeze, lake side and chirping birds. Sunset is something can be seen here. The park is not that crowded and all you get is silence of mind here. The park has wide place for kids to play games, also to hangout and have picnic there. Good place for photography and to be visited with friends
Great place to run! When it warms up it can be a bit busy, but the park always seems to be clean, ively and safe with normal patrols around the area
The park was pretty clean. The womens restroom couldve used some attention. Two of the three toilets were filled to the rim almost overflowing. Clogged.
Beautiful, serene, nice trails and bike path. I will definitely be visiting again.
Great place, not too crowded usually. Walking paths, boat launch, fishing, picnicking, kayaking/canoeing/paddle boarding. Its big enough to get your zen on, but not overwhelming.Rangers are helpful and present.
Awesome place to just go disconnect. Like with everywhere else, teenagers are a pain. They like to throw rocks and splash when youre fishing, but typically will stop when asked
We went Dayton at winter and it was too cold there with cool wind. we couldnt take many pictures bcz of that but the total scenery was amazing. too beautiful to describe. great place for fishing and family get together and bring children. there was also picnic sheds. wish to go there again at summer.
Catch a 34 lb shovelhead cat fish today and two Large mouth bass about 2 lbs,Trent got one and tairman got a 2 lb bass was a fun day,thank you God for blessing..
We had a photoshoot meetup here and I was Princess Jasmine. It was a really great park. While walking from the parking lot to the shelter, kids recognized who I was and started running and hugging and asking for pictures. It was endearing. ❤ I think I was stopped 4 to 5 times because the little girls found Jasmine. 😊 They would talk to me and ask questions and hug and hold my hand. I asked for pictures and they smile with me. It was just so fun. I did not expect that at all. The park had so many great areas to do a photoshoot. It has shelters with benches and there are grills you can also use. Great for family picnics and outdoor celebrations. Theres also a playground where kids would enjoy playing. 😊
I greatly enjoyed participating the Run with Pride 5K, and I look forward to returning to the park to enjoy other events and features of the park.
Racial profiling, and class profiling by the park police. They run peoples license plates while they hike and enjoy the park......if your car doesnt look new or updated they profile you. They only want a certain kind at the park. People should be able to enjoy public spaces free of police presence.
Great place for a walk, bike ride, or picnic - a very safe area with a beautiful aesthetic. A few secluded trails near the river that are perfect to relax by. I will definitely be back to explore more!
Beautiful serene you can fish you can use kyacks canoes jet skee everything you can bring your own and get on in I love this place to come unwind after work before I go home
Great kayaking waterways for beginners. No current or waves to contend with. Also plenty of shade spots to relax and watch wildlife.
This is a very well kept park with shelter houses, playground and hiking/biking paths. I especially enjoyed the wildlife around the Mad River. One of the nicest parks in the area. It has playground equipment, many shelter houses, a bike/walking path and is next to the Mad River which attracts much wildlife. I usually see many types of birds here. There is a nice hiking path along the River.
Very good lake view.. kids can have really fun and enjoy the beach kind of experience. if you would like to go with kids probably take the swimsuit and towels. Dont forget to carry your own chairs and picnic blanket as there is no grass or picnic table available.
Its a cool park with an attached lake. Awesome place, cant wait to take the boat there.
This park is so beautiful and peaceful. It has great walking/running trails. Great way to connect with nature.
A good, chill place for a walk. If youre on the opposite side of the lake from the playground its relatively quiet. Nice place to spend a nice day.
Nice park with plenty of room for kids to enjoy outside, even have covered areas for gathering. The restroom is a port-a-john style, but it was clean and one of the wider ones for wheel chairs. Plenty of parking as well.
They have beautiful walking trail it almost always kept it clean.the only downside is if theres been a lot of rain during the spring sometimes lower trail is flooded. They also have a biking trail lots of picnic areas.
A good place to relax just a bit. Cycle path is there if someone like to ride.
Beautiful old park with stone bridges and hiking trails.
We found that there were two spots to go. One offers a place for water sports, the other is more of a hiking/ biking trail area. Both are beautiful!
Lots of options here for hiking, cycling, fishing, and just relaxing. Kayak drop in as well is available. Never too busy
Nice park with a small playground, put ins for kayaks, fishing, paved paths and open spaces.
Had my friend baby shower. Sad it rained.
A Metropark that has so much to offer. From walking along the trails. Biking, jogging or just relaxing on one of the park tables. Great place to take the family and spend it outdoors. Take some food or grill while youre there. This park is a decent size and has many other things to enjoy.
Lol !!! Note to self, If ya dont have a sporty kayak dont act like you do hahaha !!! I had fun and got wet. Give it a try
Its pretty relaxing there, good place to go by yourself or with the family.
Great place to fish, crystal clear water.
Absolutely one of the greatest parks around this area. Frisbee golf. Rapids for kyacking or paddleboarding. Playground. Dog park. Trails. Covered picnic areas. Large open fields. Lake to take boats on.And the best part is the Midwest outdoor gear festival every year usually around October.
Amazing place to bike, walk, read, fish, and picnic! Great for a family outting or juat some alone time! Lots of beautiful things to see and listen to!
Nice little park to walk, fish, boat, or just relax. Its always clean and well maintained.
Had a great time with my youngest son and my daughter. Very nice place to go with family, friends, or by yourself
It was fun but people just through their trash every where and its a bit ridiculous
Never been there, ended up skating there from the bike path starting in Beavercreek. Beautiful landscape, polite community and employees. Would recommend to friends and family alike.
It’s a big beautiful park. It is a hub of outdoor recreation. We were there in hot summer day. We will definitely be back to explore more!
Very nice and shady. Well kept grassy areas. Nuce pond for fishing. Great walking and bike trails with access to numerous other trails that branch off for a variety of biking and walking paths. Lots of picnic tables
The only place Id go always to visit 💗 this place is very accessible and really nice to chill and just have some peace of mind, to distress, unwind, or just relax. Love going here. This is me and my bestfriends go to place.
Eastwood Metropark is a very nice park to sit back and relax. They have a small pond in one section and a larger boat-friendly lake in another. You can fish, ride a bicycle on the trail that runs through the park, have picnics at one of a few shelters, bring your kids to the playground, or kayak. Generally, the place is pretty peaceful except when theres large groups or events.The park staff maintain the park quite well. Its usually free from trash. However, there are lots of geese and goose droppings here, so be careful of those. You may also want to wear bug repellent as there are often swarms of gnats and mosquitoes.
Great park - shaded, with plenty of trails, rivers, bike paths, and picnic shelters.
Beautiful park, great for picnics and parties. You can fish, kayak, hike, run, or just hang out.
Celebrated my gransons kindergarten graduation here. It was very nice! There is a playground, walking trails, fishing and kayaking. Bring your pets,just make sure they stay leashed. All in all its a wonderful place for a picnic or barbecue!
Beautiful water well kept clean family friendly
One of my favorite parks in the Dayton area! The river side is beautiful for a hike, bikes, or skates. Very clean and can always find an area to yourself. The lake side is awesome for water recreation, enjoying the sun or BBQing. Love the tranquility!
Great place to go to escape the hustle and bustle of the city!! Beautiful spot for a walk during sunset
I enjoy talking pictures of the wildlife mostly the eagles. Its just not right that the cameras for the eagles are just sitting there for nothing because it cost to much to keep it turned on. If anything we should be able to fit it are taxes or something.
We go fishing every day love it
Nice and quiet. Different terrains and scenery. The kids even had fun. Will be back.
Well maintained public park with picnic shelters and tables. Bike and walking paths. Fishing, canoeing and kayaking.Water has been turned back on now that the freeze danger has passed. When we were there today, the river was very high, fast and muddy. Canoeing and kayaking would be hazardous at present. The river should go down this weekend.
We are here from out of town for a big car show, and its a beautiful place for it. Nice playground and restrooms and there are many walking and bike paths. Well cared for. We need to come back next year for this British show!
Really nice little lake
Nice walking paths, fishing pond, and picnic shelters. Also a lake to boat on and for fishing.
Very nice...lake like beach
Ok its a park.. But seriously its much more.. there is a huge lake!!! Hiking trails..... some really cool little bridges... the sights on the water and in the treeline that seemed to endlessly catch my eye... I made a 6 hour day of it and wasnt bored for a second.. Loads of wildlife to be seen and views to take in...
Love this place! Nice place to see the rapids, go fishing and have a picnic.
Beautiful peaceful and quiet. no luck fishing..but its still early in the year
The peaceful trail along the water was great for a dog walk.
A great spot for Kayaking and Paddle boarding.
Great place, the river on the buckeye trail is the resting place of my.beloved hermit crab, Timmy, he had an honorable viking funeral. We put him in a paper boat with some dead grass and lit it on fire as he shoved into the river. He will be missed
This is a beautiful park with great resources. Great for biking, picnicking, kayaking, fishing, and boating.
Nice place to take the dogs and bike and hike... Very very nice and well kept park
Mad river today seen an Eagle...river was ok to navigate
Beautiful park. Good access to the lake. Very well kept and maintained. Our family is from Toledo and it was so nice finding another metropark outside of our area. Kudos and thanks 😊
I was at the park for the British Car Show. Very well organized and a lot of amazing cars.
Loved this Park! Will definitely be back!
Weve come frequently and enjoyed the quietness and nature here at Eastwood. The bike trail is excellent for cycling also.
Beautiful park.clear water. You can get on skis or boats in the lakes. However its a horrible fishing spot. I have been twice and cought nothing both times.
Peaceful and quiet. Nice place to sit in car to eat a meal.
Loves it walked on.froEn lake pwoplw ice fishing kids.playing hocky
A nice place to go for boating and cookouts or just to simply hang out but would love to see them add overnight camping or just camping in general but overall a great place....
Beautiful area. Great for canoeing. Great trails. Lots of wildlife. Went to two different awesome weddings here. The only downside is bring you lots of water because there is no water point unless you use the bathroom sink. There are very nice bathrooms though.
The southern half of the park is a great spot to go for a walk. From lots of little bridges, to plenty of shade and tree coverage, to quaint spots by the water, I really like this place a lot. I even used a hidden cove as the spot to propose to my (now) wife! It can be a little busy at times, but overall its a great place to go for a casual, peaceful walk. A playground and some pavilions make it a great spot for groups too!
I was just sitting in my van,passing time. When I saw a few deer walking down the bike path
Always good fishing. Huge carp. Beautiful bass and decent catfish
Great place to go boating, jet skiing, tubeingOr just sitting around in the sun or under a shade tree enjoying the beautiful day on the lake. They also have a very nice park right next door thats good for taking a walk cooking out and letting them babies play and have fun on the swing sets and slides.
Excellent place to fish and kayak with easy access to put in/take out. Water is very clean and there are lots of bass, bluegill, perch, and catfish. Swimming is not allowed and the park rangers do enforce that rule regularly.
Great park to go with family for fishing, cookouts, walks an pictures.Had a great time..
Had a family gathering today & it was nice. We all enjoyed the place. Its pretty right along the water.. best part. Only thing that wasnt great was the size of the grill for as many people we had & the size of the pavilion the grill should been 2x as bigBathrooms were fairly clean&decent
Been going here since I was a kid. Great place to hang out. Nice bike path access as well. Highly recommend.
Bobtail friendly for truckers good for fishing and bike riding
As a cyclist, this is a fantastic park. From here you have easy access to several great trails.The Huffman trail is on the shorter side, heading towards Fairborn and WPAFB. The Mad River trail heads downtown towards Dayton alongside its namesake. Last, you can pick up the Creekside trail towards Beavercreek and Xenia. This route has the potential to provide a 50+ mile trip out, as you can pick up trails towards Columbus, Cincinnati and Yellow Springs from Xenia.Basically, if you love cycling and want a start with decent variety, Eastwood is a solid bet.
Decent fishing, pretty place.
Great place to hang out, fish walk the dog and or picnic
Great place to enjoy with the family!
Very pleasant and well kempt park. The bathroom facilities are kept clean and stocked, and the trails kept trimmed and tidy. Would deff recommend.
It is always great. Bathroom doors could use locks on doors and paper towels, especially to turn water off so that you do not touch facet aging with clean hands. When we use toilet we do sometimes get urine or feces on our hand and turn on the faucet. Thank you and have a blessed day.
Great places to kayak and fish
Beautiful park with tons of things to do. It has trails, lakes for kayaking, lakes for fishing, shelters for events, playground for the children and so much more.I recommend bringing lawn chairs if you dont plan on biking/walking on the trail and want to be secluded from everyone else.Great place for picnics or just being one with nature.
What a beautiful hidden gem this place is. A long and winding road runs through a stunning forest and field with a bike/hike trail that connects to all the area bike paths. The river runs on one side and separates this park from the lake side. This is definitely a park to come relax and play in. Well worth a visit.
This park is beautiful. Park closer to the front and walk on the trail to the end. Its a nice walk or if you have bikes a good ride. There are two playgrounds, picnic tables, grills, and bathrooms available. Its a huge park definitely give yourself some time to go through it. Theres a lot of little bridges perfect for photo backdrops. Theres also a different entrance to go to the actual lake.
Great place to relax and enjoy nature
Me and my husband rode our bicycles on the bike path and ended up there, took some pictures of the ducks and headed back, sure was a lovely ride
My grandson and I have picnics here quite often over three of the four seasons! It will be great to see it again this weekend! Autumn is beautiful here, as long as, the wind doesnt strip all the leaves too soon! Its a beautiful park, and we enjoy it every visit!
Amazing place , peaceful and calm environment.
The Mrs and I love connecting with nature.She loves geese.While we were there, we saw a family of deer cross one section of water walked a bit then crossed over another section of water.....
Beautiful park with plenty of open space
Had a great time here. It was early evening we decided to take a walk before dinner with our new puppy. The puppy loved the steps going to the water and the high bridges to walk upon were great. Loved the wildlife that was around us the whole time. Great scenery experience for a new puppy.
Love this place I can take my fur-babies with me. They love being outside and its beautiful there. You can fish, they have walking paths that are very nice, so there is plenty to do here.
We were there to use the bike trail. Well maintained, plenty of facilities, and well visited. Bike trail along river needs maintained better.
Nice park. Nice lake. Theres a lake entrance and a playground park entrance. Geese and duck for the little ones to see. Lots of picnic tables, shelter, and does have a restroom.
Very nice and clean. People are enjoying the trails and water activities along with cookouts and just plain ole having a great time ✌️
Took my nephew fishing we had a blast park was well maintained and the fish were fat.
Every time I drive by Eastwood Lake, or as I remember it being called as a kid by my parents, The Hydro-Bowl, u have to take a the few min to turn in, access take the Cruise all the way down to the very back of the lake where they tell you not to go swimming but we all know weve all been in there once or twice to swim LOL and just remember being a kid and driving down with my brothers and sisters and parents with an ice cream on a summer day come and get out and put her feet in the water, the memories this place brings to me I will hold forever I love it here its beautiful!
Went here on a first date. It is a beautiful park with a nice lake and good scenery. Was a great place to go for a quiet place to get to know someone and talk... They have boating, fishing, and other water sports..
Beautiful park, better than any park Ive ever been to in FL. Its a lovely place if u want to go out and kayak. The bike trails are awesome and I like how people tend to be friendly or to themselves. No one bothers you and you can have a great time!
One of the best metro parks in the Dayton area.
Nice fishing spot. Family friendly.
Clean area. Calming environment.
Loved the spot husband and kids fished at . Brought a book soaked my feet in the water . My only complaint was the trash people before us left . I filled half a trash bag cleaning us up a spot. The water didnt smell like dead fish . Security was all over the place . I believe they asked for some peoples fishing license so be sure to bring yours !
Took the kids fishing here a week or so ago and it was a great outdoor activity indeed. While we didnt catch anything (it was still very cold, used NCs), the riverbanks as well as the lake itself, swollen over and into portions of the parking lot by all the recent rain, were such neat places to explore! Almost caught a crawdad under one of the rocks on the riverbank as well. If you have kids (or dont) and are feeling cooped up right now, I highly recommend get a cheap fishing pole or 2 and getting out there. Especially with the weather warming up. It was not overly crowded at all and there is plenty of space for proper distancing and I do mean plenty! We are going back this weekend and hoping to catch something with the warmer weather!
Awesome spot with a nice boat ramp Big Lake next to the Mad River. And if you go down over the bridge and make a right theres a second part to the park with some canals big fields shelters and grills. Its a great place to spend an afternoon with the family
Quiet, set back lake shore park. Just relax and enjoy the sound of water coming to the shore.
Great park to fish and relax and to bring the family too. Plenty of fish in the water. Decent sized lake for Dayton. Also another smaller pond and the very end of the path to the left. Also the mad river is right next to it.
Loved the site and it was beautiful
The kids and I have a lot of fun over here we catch fish and Im going to do the trails. Its actually okay these days for the east side inner city parks and recreation.
Gem in an unexpected place, wedged between WPAFB, Rt 4 and the Riverside neighbor, this county park is an oasis with man-made lake for boating, fishing, the Mad River with a canoe and kayak launch, walking paths with bridges, and beautiful scenery. There is one entrance off of Harriman Rd for the Lake entrance and one for the Park entrance. Many birds and water fowl have been sighted, including recently an eagle.
One of the best, full-freatured parks in the area. Hike, picnic, boat, or catch the bike trail to somewhere else!
I have come to this park for over 20 years and its as nice now as when I first started going there. Its great to take the kids to, walk your dog, ride your bike, canoe or kayak, fishing, cooking out. There are some shelters and restrooms. A lot of ducks that swim around the lagoon. Theres also a bunch of trees close to the lagoon that look great in the fall and are great for shade in the summer.
The family atmosphere is strong. Friendly people of all colors but mostly caucasian, are fun and lighthearted. You can fish , picnic, play and relax by walks in the park or on a trail through the brush. You can throw rocks in the stream, feed the fish and see turtle and tadpoles. Havent see a frog yet but may this summer.
Come here and have coffee in the mornings let my daughter play on the park. Park needs an update but other then that awesome place to come walk
Beautiful lake. One of my favorite places to visit.
Love paddleboarding here!
Beautiful park. Great walking trails. Clean and very well maintained. We love to walk our dogs here.
This is were we put on our kayaks. If you havent been here yet, make sure you cross this park off your list. You can watch people kayak, hike, bike, throw Frisbee and more. It just a really pretty park. These are also shelters for birthday parties.
We had an unplanned Sunday after church picnic with my kids. The place is clean. Lots of shades from trees. We saw a lot of of people biking, riding, kayaking, picnicking, and theres a playground for small kids where they can slide, do monkey bar. Great place for weekend picnic.
Went fishing for crappie last week. Didnt do any good as water temp was still too cold. Was amazed at how clean and clear the water was. Kudos to the state for putting 300 Christmas trees in the lake to provide cover for game fish.
Its a nice place to take the family to chill an relax we enjoy it and its always pretty clean they take good care of the place
If youre looking for a spot to relax by the water, this is a perfect location to do so. It also has a playground that is pretty nice as well as some hiking areas. There are benches and pull-off areas to relax and a few areas that are accessible to the water to fish if thats your thing. My favorite aspect of this park is that at sunset...the colors that come across the water are beautiful and as an aspiring photographer, I love taking photos when the sun is going down over this lake!
Hate going here to fish we have tries 5 different times and never catch anything. It is not good for fishing but could be good for boating and water skiing. They have specific days where you can bring your power boats. Other days you can not and people can bring their trolling boats for fishing. I have never seen anyone catch a fish here.
2 parts to this park. One mainly for fishing and the other has fishing but more access to trails, tables, playground, etc. Very beautiful and calm. Havent had issues. Dont forget to look at the river down the big Stone steps next to the parking lot.
Great place to ride bikes, hike, fish, boat, jet ski, and my favorite paddle board.
This is a very nice park
Cool little find. I would give it 5 stars if someone would respond as to why you are not allowed to swim. There are boats and jetskies allowed, but strict signs that say no swimming. Plenty of parking, lots of room to fish or have a picnic.
Good place to relax. Fishing is ok, nothing spectacular. Turtles will take your bait before a fish will. Signs say no swimming but people do anyway.
Great place to enjoy a walk with the kids, dogs or friends! Trails for biking. All kinds of trees to watch change throughout the seasons. Room for your favorite sport or just enjoying some alone time. Quiet and peaceful, and the bathrooms are clean too!
It is a great place to exercise with your dog
It was a fantastic place to get out on the water and open up full throttle. The place was clean and the boat ramps are pretty easy getting in and out. Had a lot of fun.
This is a family friendly park where the whole family can enjoy being outside, the lake is a good place for boating and fishing
Beautiful park with a lot of different recreational opportunities. Directly off the Creekside and Mad River trails also on the Buckeye trail. The white water feature is easily accessible. Nice place for kids to have a lot of room to run and play.
Great place to get away be nice if they had front country camping
4 only because most of the guys fishing from boats have zero respect for bank fisherman and some for the other boaters including kayaker here. Numerous times I am fishing from bank and boaters will run within 5 ft of my line or bobber. It is a beautiful quiet lake . I have caught large mouth bass and a 7lb channel. I always fish the north end by Stebbins HS or the. Ery south end.
It is a place peaceful that has trails and river views.....
Love the nature walks -water ways not crowded
Great park to walk around, they have several pavilions to gather at. Mad River is one off the best in the area. We enjoy tubing from Woodman to the kayak experience.
Always such a nice place to go and spend some time. We are really lucky to have so many parks in and around Dayton.
This is a small lake, but its really pretty and you can park next to the water and relax next to the ducks and geese!
This park is close to home, so we visit often. It has great hiking trails as well as bike path access. With the lake and river, it is also a great place to kayak.
The park is very clean and well cared for and the Mad River is beautiful!!!
Great place. Just wish they had more grills and shelters for picnics
I took my little cousin to the playground and they had free kayaking there. We enjoyed ourselves. And the park was beautiful. My cousin collected shells from the riverside to remember this beautiful day.
AWESOME park, clean and safe.
Not a terrible place to walk around. Fairly good to hike at. Cannot swim at the lake, which was surprising. There really needs to be a beach put in. Not super stroller friendly, boring if you arent a hiker.
Beautiful clean and clear lake! You can see deep into the water and they keep it so clean and free of trash! Also the events held here are always awesome!
Always a great place to explore.
Very laid back park. Nice place for a family event. Social distancing is feasible . The lake is relaxing to be around.
The park ranger made us move after we paid for a shelter and said we were on a reserved one no one ever even cane she was harassing us. Ridiculous we had kids and a birthday party going on in 100. Degree weather unbelievable if it wasnt for the harrasement Id of given s higher star.
Good place for bike rides and walking. Big fields for sports and for kids to play in as well as a canoe/kayak ramp, although the water looks kinda nasty.
Had great picnic & a beautiful walk around the grounds seen deer & different types of animals.. great time.
All of the MetroParks are wonderful. This one is a great hub for multiple biking trails and includes nice and easy access to the river for canoes or kayaks
Quiet, clean, and decent bicycle path. Nice picnic facilities and restrooms. Need to fix the large holes in main parking lot.
Great place to take a walk and get fresh air.
I love this place. Tons of trails and a sweet bike path.
Nice clean park great for boating, fishing, and picnics
It is only ok ,,because I think they should dredge out the channels off Springfield street, so that the fish have deeper water to winter in,dont dredge whole thing just big area by Springfield street. It could be a nice large mouth bass fishery and would attract more anglers.And that is why it is only ok
Finally 41 caught a fish night is better
Great place to just relax and enjoy the water. I set up a camping chair with coffee and watch the water with my pup. Very relaxing!
A lot of cool things here
Love to bring our 2 small dogs here and watch boating and feed the ducks. My family enjoys the fishing here. It was my sons favorite place for fishing.
I come here for the outdoor x festival every year to do the 12 hour run. The trails are great. Plenty of parking and bathrooms. Ponds are very pretty.
Love it here, you will too!
Been going here since I was a child with my mother, still a great place to take the children
The bike path (Creekside Trail) leads strait into the park, and branches off into the Mad River Trail and Wright Brothers. Great to see herons (big birds) drinking the lake. Beautiful and go there every week
Very relaxing atmosphere, clean park and we caught a few fish
Nice park with what seems like a large quantity of well kept trails for running. Wish the park had more lights for dusk or night running, got here around 5ish and by 6 I was struggling to see the trail except by the twinkle if the stars
Eastwood is great for paddle boarding, biking and hiking with a sizable (185 acre) lake. Pretty good for being right outside of town. Outdoor fest is great.
Gorgeous stone bridges, tons of sitting spots in the shade, and well paved walking paths that are stroller friendly! Also a great place to walk the dog. Just be warned: bring bug spray, as the gnat problem can become intolerable in the fall.
#TeamClark decided to go hike Eastwood Park Buckeye Trail at Eastwood MetroPark today... its officially the 21st park / reserve / preserve that weve hiked in the last in 21 weeks! 😁I had absolutely no idea that Eastwood Park was so big and had so much to offer.We saw people hiking, biking, canoeing, fishing, and even doing yoga!The trail is fantastic because the first portion of it runs right along side the Little Miami River. The second portion ends up bringing you right by the beautiful bridges in the center of the park. What a great place to take photos and get a workout! (Highly recommend)Our familys goal is to hike a different park / reserve / preserve every weekend until Mother Nature makes it nearly impossible to do so!#TeamClark #familyfirst #Whatagreathike #EastwoodParkBuckeyeTrail #daytonstrong
Parking can be tricky, but the area is very nice!
This is a really nice park with plenty of picnic shelters, easy access to the bike path and a good landing place for canoers and kayakers. There is an interesting section with several little islands connected by arched bridges.

Review №2
2022-06-20Great metropark. Wide open well maintained grass areas with spaced out gigantic trees for shade. Perfect for a picnic. Lots of reservable shelters with charcoal grills. Lots of wildlife, water, and plants.
Review №3
2021-09-26Best place for a chill romantic get together, any time night or day.. open 24hours. It doesnt accommodate for beachfaring walks, as gravel is a tad rough on barefeet. But still...the sunsets are great.
Review №4
2022-01-03A stunningly beautiful park by the mad River. Even when its cold out its worth a visit. The shelters are nice to have a picnic lunch when they are available.

2022-03-29Nice place to take a stroll. Bike trail goes right thru it so you could save on gas and bike to it. clean and well kept. Has a park that my kids love. You can fish here and walk your pup. Bring the family and have a BBQ at one of many spots or reserve a shelter house. Take a mile walk down the bike trail to woodman rd and back.
