Well-kept but unusual cemetery. Layout interesting informal, pattern sort of rambling in a good sense, so feels more natural, less formal. Didn't feel cookie cutter, but seems almost impossible to care for much of it with typical mowers. Areas with mostly flat stones with interspersed random upright memorials. Many memorials few inches high but to close to mow between. Scenic peaceful. Wide variety of trees and shrubs. Lots of history, lots of fascinating names. Section 309 in particular interesting in several ways: pre-installed stacked vaults, some with unrelated widely varied individuals. Again makers nearly impossible to mow, must be hand trimmed.

Brilliant place, got to see the Wright brothers themselves here. Also great views of the city from the lookout! 10/10.
The second you drive through the park, you are surround by rich history. There are beautiful roads that go throughout the park. At the top of the hill, there is a Lookout Gazebo (you can search for this as a location as well as it’ll take you right to the top). I would suggest going to see where the Wright family is buried. Tip: bring a camera as there is a good place d’or great views of the Dayton Skyline at the top.
Would visit here often as a student at UD. Interesting people buried here and it is maintained beautifully. Love the trees and the views from the top of the hills. Really lovely and peaceful place.
This is one of my favorite cemeteries to visit. Its so well kept. There are lots of interesting folks laid to rest here. The yard is massive and contains some of the most unique and amazing stones. Theres a guided tour that leads you to several well known locals. The Wright Brothers are buried here! Thats without a doubt, cool beyond words. However, with that being said, you would think their graves would be immaculate and ordained with so much art and relief in the stone work. Its not. It has some raggedy plants on the tomb, the brickwork is shoddy, its a mess. This grave should be an attraction. Statues, epitaphs, everything. It really should celebrate what they did for the world. Other than that, this place is top shelf. Take a look for yourself.
