Where’s the best place in this area to go for a picnic?
Where’s the best place in this area to go for a picnic?
REGINA HOLLOWAY, Jefferson Twp.: “Carillon Park. I like the scenery, the water, the bells — and they’ve got a little history there, too.”
CARA SAYER, Dayton: “Island MetroPark. There are plenty of tables, and the river’s right there.”
STEVE LEWIS, Kettering: “John Bryan State Park at Yellow Springs. We went in September. It’s spacious and not overrun with people. It was great.”
MARQUITA MANNS, Harrison Twp.: “I’ve picnicked at Englewood MetroPark. It was nice and peaceful, and there are places to walk around with nice scenery.”
MICHELLE STECKEL, Greenville: “MetroParks, especially Riverscape. I’m from Georgia, and we do picnics all the time.”

I enjoy going to Aullwood, such a beautiful place, the garden area is wonderful and there is a place to picnic by the river. Englewood Metropark is a great picnic area, too.

Germantown Metropark is our favorite place for picnics. I also like Carrillon park. Ceasers creek is a drive, but it’s nice there too.

Not going to divulge it. If I did then all of you would be going there and it would be overrun with people.

Huffman dam is very nice. A lake and a river with plenty of green space to play Frisbee.

The men’s restroom’s at George Rogers Clark Park are the best by far.

We love to go Fort Saint Clair Park in Eaton, Ohio. There is lots of space and trees. There is lots of shade so it always cool. Plus there is nice playground and stream for the kids and young at heart to play in. A great place to take the family.
