1. Creekside Reserve. 761 Factory Rd., Beavercreek
   Enjoy the diverse landscape of Creekside Reserve as you ride along Little Beaver Creek: creekside, flood plain forest, and meadows. The park is accessible only by the bike trail. Visitors should park at EJ Nutter Park, 865 Factory Road in Beavercreek, or down the bike trail at Beavercreek Community Park, next to Southern Ohio Brewing, 818 Factory Road.
   
   
2. Fifth Third Gateway Park and Ride Facility. Located where I-675, U.S. 35, and Dayton-Xenia Road (Old 35) meet
   In case you're intrigued by the name, it refers to a generous donation from Fifth Third Bank that helped purchase the park. Fifth Third Gateway Park has a gazebo, bike rack, vending machines, water fountain, and paved parking for 30, plus unpaved parking for 30 more. There's also a portable restroom facility. The trail, a former railroad track, is mostly flat. There's a bit of shade along the trail.
   
   
3. Beavercreek Community Park. 760 Factory Road, Beavercreek
   Beavercreek Community Park has multiple uses, including a pond where catch and release fishing is allowed, plus a walking trail, but there is also a Community Park bike trail that is a connector between Hunter's Ridge Park and Rotary Park. Once this corridor was completed, the trail was connected to Dayton-Xenia Road.
   
   
4. Stafford Park. 3636 Crab Orchard Ave., Beavercreek
   Stafford Park is 11.8 acres, with a creek and footbridge on the bike path. There's also playground equipment in the park. School kids use the bike path to get to school. While there is no bathroom or water fountain, there is sometimes a food truck for refreshments.
   
   
5. Virgallito Park, 2564 Lantz Rd., Dayton
   This park was named after the first Beavercreek Jaycee chapter president. At 9.2 acres, it has a softball diamond, picnic shelter, unique playground, and some wooded trails for hiking. There is also a bike trail, accessed from Cold Springs Road. Virgallito Park is less than a 10-minutes drive from Beavercreek.
   
   
6. Huffman MetroPark. 4095 Lower Valley Pike, Dayton
   The name of Huffman MetroPark suggests a historical connection to bicycles, recalling the Huffman family of Huffy Bike Corporation fame. Horace Huffman Jr. was a community organizer who advocated development of river bikeways in the 70s. The current lakefront park has many uses, including paddling the waterway, wildlife watching, hiking through woodlands, boating and sailing, fishing, and of course biking. Cyclists enjoy touring via the Wright Brothers Huffman Prairie Bikeway and the Mad River Bikeway.
