Its a lot of fun for everyone! This is our second time visiting the park and we took our time at various places in the park. Theres a butterfly garden and yes there were butterflies. Theres a nice description of the plants and the butterflies associated with them. Someone took the time to put together a small set of dinosaurs mounted to a board and the names of each. It was just laying on the picnic table for everyone to view. There are several swing types that includes for all to enjoy. The treehouse area is accessible and there are several small huts to access. A cement trail through the area beside the treehouse has several instruments that the adults and children enjoy playing. Thats the nice thing about it is that the adults can have some of the fun right along with the kids.Beware of the slipping hazard that the dry leaves on the deck walkway are causing, weve seen several children fall.
Within Rotary Park great parking, bathroom doors open, just a good place. I noticed as I drove by it was the only place in the park or the parking lot was full. Tons of kids taking a vantage of the outdoor even on a cold day.Beautifully situated the sun is shining on this area all day long
We had a great time our first visit at Owens Place today... couldnt hardly get them past the swings!!
First time. The kids had a blast.
The kids love it EVERY TIME we go. The tree house area is great, and the slide never disappoints!
Very nice park. Walk, bike ride, lots of grassy area to do your own thing. Nice playground for the kids. Sidenote: great pokemon park for the kids.
We love Owens place! The adults especially love the shade, the kids love well... everything!! The spinner, swings and tree houses were among favorites this visit. The accessibility is fantastic, and there is something for everyone. Cant wait for trails to be completed and for more additions to be announced and completed.
Very nice place, my boys have a blast!
Such a great park! There is tons of things to play on and run around space for kids. The slides and hill was the 2 year old (and mu husbands) favorite. I loved the walking trails. They are short little nature scenics trails right to the side of the large wood walking and play structure. It wasnt too crowded, maybe 3 other families there. It is large enough to hold many people with plenty of space.There is pavilions, swings, slides, benches, hills, grass fields, baseball fields, play sets, huge wooden castle like fortress, trails, and tons of close parking.
Beautiful park. Accessible treehouses, year-round sledding hill, and so many unique features I’ve never seen at other parks. Truly a gem!
Great extremely large park with plenty of things for kids and family to do and enjoy. Large empty field for families to bring their own equipment to play with, artificial grass hill for kids to slide it down with pieces of cardboard or snow type sleds, a huge wood built area kind of like a deck but massively huge for a kids to run around on and play on with small rock climbing walls fire poles and a fire pole that spring loaded that brings you down on its own as well as some wood built small huts for kids to play with and a wooded area for kids to plan as well and a walking trail with some musical instruments for kids to play with as well and a little art looking area with some rainbow colored glass. Very nice park. Oh, and slides and these metal pole things you site and slide on too.
Great place to bring the ENTIRE family - including children with disabilities. Very unique resource in our community!!!!
My 2 year old had fun running through the colors and playing music in the woods.
Great park, Expansive area, Excellent hands on fun for kids
Sooo much fun for kids. I like how natural the space feels... The activities seem handmade
Very well shaded playground that has great accessibility.
Really cool park. Lots of different things for kids to do. A few slides and a turf hill was added since the last time we were here. The Owens place portion is a large fort-like area with lots of stuff to do.
Amazingly clean, incredibly inclusive playground. Loved it. The cardboard alerting hill was my favorite part. Kids all seemed to be having a blast.Probably should remove some of the baseball sized rocks that have been gathered in the treehouse area. Watched one kid about brain another with one.
If you have young children, you should check out this place. It is accessible for all children with swings, treehouses, and other activities for children with physical challenges including wheelchairs. It is fun for all. And bring a cardboard box and slide down a turf hill!
This is an absolutely fantastic park! It was built with the inclusion of all kiddos, even those that need help to get around and play. For example, the amazing tree house has a wide, very sturdy ramp that is easy for wheeled vehicles to get up as well as being really fun to run up and down. While I cannot say enough good things about the treehouse, the rest of the area is wonderful to, including a merry go round that anyone can get on (its flesh with the ground) swings and even a slide that looks accomodating. The entire park is amazing but Owens Place had a special place in my heart.
Really fun park for kids of all ages. Quieter tree house area with a short paved walking path. Kiddos loved the sliding hill bring large pieces of cardboard for maximum fun. Only drawback was a complete lack of social distancing / mask wearing.
First time visiting and my kids LOVE IT.
I’ve taken my daughter here numerous times, this park is particularly high quality and is a very fun place for children and toddlers to explore. They’ve recently added a hill which kids can slide down using a cardboard box! There’s so much to do here, I can’t recommend it enough
Went here with my friend and her family. The kids had a blast. Lots of things for them to do at this park. They especially loved sliding down the grass turf!
Very nice little playground inside of rotary park. The only merry go round Ive seen in years, a handicap ramp to the top of the slides, a couple unique features like a slow fall platform and fake turf that kids can slide down on cardboard. Very nice little place.
My kids like this playground the best in the local area. It has plenty of shade, lots of sensory play options, and seems almost completely designed for children with all levels of abilities; wheelchair access, ASD, etc. The recent upgrade with the faux grass hill provides a nice slope to slide down on.Pro tip: bring some recycled card board to on on when you slide down the hill.
Absolutely a wonderful place for the kids. Very well maintained. Areas of both shade and sun. Cant ask for much more!
Owens Place is a wonderful playground. Different types of swings enable children of all abilities to play. There is an accessible merry-go-round and an amazing tree house. My own disabled daughter loves to come here very much. That it is attached to the larger Rotary Park gives us all plenty of room to run around or to picnic.
Nice clean safe park. There is a lot of space to walk and plenty of activities for kids to have fun. It is really big and has many soccer and baseball fields too.
Amazing park kids had a blast
Park very clean, lots of play equipment for older kids but not a lot suited for toddlers. The treehouse playset is a lot of fun.
The popo kicked us out at 7:15 when the park clearly closes at 9.
It’s awesome for kids on a hot summer day because it’s shaded.
So much to do for kids here. Def recommend.
Best park Ive been to in south Dayton. The kids loved it all, but they especially loved the sliding hill. Omg the SHADE! Highly recommended
Great park for children with special needs.
Beautiful park. Kids had a blast. Might be our favorite outdoor place for the kids
Really great place for kids of all ages including us kids in our mid 20s, might recommend bringing a large cardboard box.
We have been to a LOT of accessible playgrounds, and this is the BEST one weve ever seen! They have really thought about MANY different abilities and needs and addressed them beautifully! AND the restroom has a 6 foot long changing table!
Look for Rotary Park. Owens place is on one side of this park. The kids had a great time even in the summer heat. Lots of shade and fun things to do.
Great place for kids to play. Huge playground set, swings for all abilities and plenty of room to run around. Looks like they are working on a restroom in the future but nothings there right now
Gorgeous, spacious, and fun!!! The butterfly garden had monarch and swallowtail caterpillars with a lot of information! The a playground/fort in the woods is a ton of fun for the little ones!!!
The police kicked us out at 7 pm when it says it closes at 9
The accessibility of this park brings joy to my heart. All kids should have a fun and safe place to play.
This has to be my favorite park in the area
My daughter who is going on 5 loves this place. Lots a places to run and hide and climb. Big enough for her to have fun but small enough for me as a parent to keep a close eye on her just in case.
Awesome park!! Owens Place is located within Rotary Park and the whole place is fantastic! Soccer fields, 12 softball fields, shelter house located next to a playground. Owens Place specifically continues to get better as the work towards finishing the project. The tree house holds multiple benches, in shaded areas, numerous smaller houses ( which we love playing 3 little pigs and Hansel & Gretyl in) a slide, 2 rope walls, a climbing wall, a fire pole and hydraulic elevator, for lack of the correct name. Near the treehouse is an in-ground merry-go-round, baby swings, mama+baby swing(only 1), full back, harness swings and 2 large, circular swings that are capable of holding 4-5 children or adults. Plenty of shaded areas, as well a variety of seating option. Just past the play area is a small walking with 2-3 hanging swings & another large shelter house. Great park, kids have a ball and I would have definately given 5 stars IF the swing play area would have some type of overhead roof. The play equipment (aside from the tree house) was HOT🌞🌡🔥, orherwise would have given 5 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
I went there for a birthday party, and it was probably the perfect place to have a kids birthday party. There are bathrooms near the gazebo, and there are plenty of places for kids to play.
A very large and interesting place to play. For all ages. Only problem is the mosquitoes from the woods.
Great for kids and special needs and sensory sensitive challenges. It has a great tree house like structure with wheel chair ramps and accessibility to it.
This is a great park. Something for everyone. Small trails, great playground, ball parks, a good place to walk.
Large park with alot of space for the kids to really have a great time!
Super nice park my kids had a blast!
We found this place when we sign my son up for the owen place baseball. Its a really nice park! The baseball team and coaches are great with the kids.
Beautiful park, kids love sliding down the hill and the tree houses
This park is amazing. Beautiful and well taken care of. Meets the needs of anyone from small to big and those with help of any kind.
Our kids love the grassy hill plenty of space to run around and an awesome wood play fort.
As parks go this is a pretty good one. Good for the kids. The restroom is currently a bit of a hike, but there is a new one under construction that it will be close by.
This park gets better every time we go! Such a fun place with a variety of activities for many different interests.
We visited for the first time today and well definitely be going back. The kids loved it here.
Great park for kids. Theres a pavilion for parties, too.
This is the best park in Beavercreek
This is an awesome park. All ages will have fun.
There is a cool sliding hill and a pile of cardboard to use like sleds. Other than that though, the park is pretty average.
The new Sliding Hill is a wonderful addition; kids from toddler to Jr. High age were enjoying it today.
The treehouse and sound garden in the shade of the trees is a nice place to run around on hot days. Very clean. One of our regular places.
Great park, with some welcome shade. The kids and parents are playing and smiling. The playhouse is a hit, along with the swings.
Such a special park with lots to do!
Good place to Play.. shaded. All its missing is a splash pad
This is a wonderful park that anyone can play at no matter their physical ability.
I love the new music pieces! This park is fantastic. It will be even better when the restroom building opens!
I dont know what to say. Baseball teams for the handicapped. They have several age groups separated into 2+ teams its an amazing program.
But this park is easily accessible to all children there is not a bathroom close but I believe there is one in the park.
Beautiful park and a great place to bring the family
Amazing park!!
Kids love it. Bring an old cardboard box for sliding on the hill.
Great park and playground for individuals with disabilities. Lots of options and still growing!
Checked this place out on the 4th of July. My son loved it. It is a treehouse like structure that is wheelchair accessible.
Great park, tons of pinic spaces with an awesome wood fort for kids.
While this park is nice, it claims to be handicap accessible and only has one handicap parking spot.
I love this park it is so big and the kids love it😍

2021-12-26We love love LOVE this park! Its part of our park rotation. Its very well maintained and we always have fun when we pay a visit.Today our favorite part was the hill and the slides but of course, we couldnt resist a pass through the colors before heading home.

2021-10-11They just keep improving. So much to do here, my kids beg to go. They most recent improvement theyve done can be seen in one of my pics, its like a sledding hill. There is a cardboard bin that you can select cardboard from to use as sleds to go down there hill and slides. Very well done and lots of fun!

2022-05-18This is one of the best playground we have ever been too!! They have a hill with fake grass and cardboard for kids to slide down. Amazing swings and a fairy/elf garden. Musical instruments and huge playground that has some unique parts Ive never seen before! Great place to have birthday parties!

2022-06-05This park was lovely! We took our 18 month old and she had a blast! Swings, slides, an entire wooden playground that is incredibly huge all contributed to a fun and adventurous environment! Handicap accessible as well!

2022-02-22This is a fun park in the Beavercreek area. Lots to do and many play areas for disabled children as well. Even a wheelchair baseball field! We really enjoy the fake grass hill you can slide on with boxes though, which are donated by the community members.

2020-09-15A great park! There are so many different things to do at Owens place! Its connected to some fields, Victory park, and a paved running path. The wood playground is perfect for kids of all abilities and shaded which is great for afternoon time.

2022-04-26A beautiful park for children and adults. Some unique playground equipment designed for children of all abilities. A picnic shelter is available for snacks and/or meals.

2019-06-03A great place for families to have a picnic or just stop to run off some energy. Kids love the tree house play area and the swings. This play ground is adapted for children with special needs. They are currently adding a bathroom closer to Owens place, but for now you have to walk or drive over to the restroom by the soccer fields. Park is clean and there is plenty of shaded areas for rest. Highly recommend this playground!

2019-07-14Great little park with picnic tables under a gazebo, a few single picnic tables with grills, and a large wooden play area, as well as several play areas catering to people with disabilities. Conveniently across the road from the soccer pitches and down the road from the softball/baseball fields, this is a great place to take the younger kids while the older ones are at practice.
