Sycamore Trails Park, the City's largest, will be home to a major improvement project very soon. Known as the "gem" of Miamisburg, Sycamore Trails Park is the City's only "nature park" with nearly 75 acres of trails and forest. Sycamore Trails is also one the City's oldest parks. Home to shelters that have served generations of family reunions, birthday parties and gatherings, Sycamore Trails is connected to and the ground are home of the Sycamore Trails Aquatic Center, tennis courts, basketball court, and playground accessed off Maue Road. This project will bring these three distinct areas together, and provide updates that will serve many generations to come.
With an updated roadway that connects the three areas, the road access at the corner of Heincke and SR 725 will be removed and converted to a pedestrian only entrance. This will greatly improve the safety and access into the park. In addition, the roadway modifications will include additional parking in both the north and south ends of the park, as well as Sycamore Trails Aquatic Center.
Amenity updates to playgrounds, shelters and sports courts will bring new life and vitality to this park. The shelters in the northern portion of the park were built in 1972 and have served this community well. We are excited to bring updates and improvements to safety, access and play that will serve this City for generations to come.
The Sycamore Trails Disc Golf course will be redesigned as part of this improvement project and a new pond, that will be stocked with fish is a part of the project currently under construction.
Sycamore Trails Park Improvement Project
Sycamore Trails Park- North Section Details
Updated Playground
The new playground on the north side of Sycamore Trails park will be a nature theme with multiple amenities. Climbing ropes, infant and child swings, "log" tire swings, and a tower will be included in the design. The ground of the playground will match the new, bouncy playground surfacing at Riverfront Park, making this playground easy to travel onto for children of all abilities.
New Restroom/Shelter Structure
A new restroom building and shelter will be installed next to the playground. This new structure will have restrooms for 4 stalls and will be connected to a covered area with picnic tables and water fountains, perfect for parties and reunions.
New Connecting Road with Bridge
A new roadway with paved walking trail on the sides will be added to the park. This will allow for a safer entrance into the park (moving to Maue Road) and easier access to all parts of the park. A small bridge will be constructed to travel over the creek with as little disruption to the area as possible.
