PARTNERS
Nothing moves a region forward like partnerships.
From the early days of green space protection in the Miami Valley to the development of our river corridors throughout the last century, the Greater Dayton Region has thrived on partnerships that continue to flourish as we develop an active, healthy community with access to trails and parks that make this the most livable region in the country.
