Thanks David, Woodland is a favorite of mine too. I incorporated it into my run shortly after moving to Dayton, and the view has given my a new perspective on living in the Downtown area.

South Park Green comes close to what I am thinking about, as does Cooper Park.

@Jeff- I call horsehockey. Starting at Riverscape, over to Deeds park, up to Kettering fields over to Island Park- through up to Wegerzyn- up the path ending at Sinclair park- it’s a long ribbon along the river.

We’ve got South Park Green and Burns Jackson, right here in South Park. There are parks all over- including by Cleveland Elementary- by Lohrey Center- with a disc golf course, Walnut Hills has a hideaway…. I think we do just fine.

Since Dayton lacks true urban parks like Goodale or Schiller Parks in Columbus or Eden Park or Burnett Woods in Cincinnati (and I could go on & on but those should be familiar Ohio examples) you all have to settle for a cemetery. Typical. You know, it is possible to have both, but history was not kind to Dayton as the earlier generations that provided the great urban parks in other cities did not do so in Dayton. And Hills and Dales does not count since its a just a big golf course, & not really in town, either.
