Confirmed from Deeds Point MetroPark's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
Park by the river featuring a dog area plus a fountain.

Lovely, clean park with benches and beautiful views. There’s a paved bike trail alongside the river that looked wonderful, though I didn’t go on it myself.
Beautiful view of downtown Dayton and the fountains at RiverScape. Beautiful landscaping that includes a statue of the Wright Brothers. Walking and bike paths.
