Discover Aullwood Garden MetroPark: A Hidden Gem in Dayton
Just outside the city, Aullwood Garden MetroPark is a peaceful spot for nature lovers and history fans. This 31-acre park, at 955 Aullwood Road in Dayton, is full of beautiful gardens, forests, and meadows that change with the seasons.
A History of Caring for Nature
The park started in the 1920s when John and Marie Aull made it their home. Marie Aull, known as the “pioneer of conservation gardening in Ohio,” created stunning gardens with a mix of local and imported plants. In 1977, she gave the property to Five Rivers MetroParks so everyone could enjoy it for years to come.

- Winter: Snow on the trees makes the park feel peaceful and magical.
