Happy #PrideMonth to our park staff, visitors and volunteers who celebrate. 🏳️‍🌈We'll be at Courthouse Square tomorrow spreading some MetroParks cheer during Dayton's annual PRIDE festival. You can also stop by the 2nd Street Market all month for special PRIDE month opportunities.

A trip to the park can be about much more than the playground! Our latest virtual field trip with @MetroParksTweet goes deep into the woods and out to the creek to meet cool creatures, see new habitats and more: youtube.com/watch?v=bjCGUF….
