Stubbs Park

Stubbs Park – A Hometown Treasure in Centerville, Ohio

Stubbs Park holds a special place in the heart of Centerville. The land was preserved with the community in mind—intended as a gathering place for generations to enjoy. Over the years, the park has grown into a cherished green space, blending small-town heritage with scenic beauty, right in the center of the city.

The park’s namesake was Leonard E. Stubbs.  He became part of the Centerville community teaching American and current history at Centerville High School.  He was elected to city council in 1971becoming a champion of the city’s bike paths.  He passed away at 39 years old from battling cancer.  During this time, the city was planning to name their new park after a city founder, Benjamin Archer, but upon Leonard’s passing, the city saw fit to call it Stubbs Park. 

Stubbs Park Highlights:

  • Scenic Walking Trails – Winding paths lead through shaded groves, open meadows, and peaceful vistas, perfect for a reflective stroll or brisk morning walk.
  • Amphitheater – Renovated in 2025, the Centerville Amphitheater and Bandshell, serves as open-air venue for summer concerts and community events, creating moments of connection under the stars.
  • Pond and Water Features – A quiet pond with graceful fountains draws ducks and visitors alike, offering a moment of calm at the water’s edge.
  • Miami Valley Firefighter/EMS Memorial – Commissioned by the Miami Valley Firefighters EMS Memorial Association, a sculpture titled “Firewall” created by Jon Barlow Hudson honors Firefighters and EMS professionals killed in the line of duty.
  • Stubbs Park Veterans Memorial Plaza – Within the center of Stubbs Park lies the Centerville Veterans Memorial featuring a large plaza, flag poles and medallions for each of the armed services.
