Dayton - Historic Village
Dayton's historic village is home to two parks where you can spend some quality time with your pupper. McNeil Park, formerly known as Historic Village Park, offers grassy areas for strolling around and picnic tables for sharing a packed lunch with your pooch. It contains a ball field and playground equipment as well. Less than a mile away, Goodin Park is a mostly wooded site with few amenities other than grills and benches. There's also a trail that leads down to the Mississippi River, so you and Fido can take a leashed walk by the water and enjoy the peaceful views.
