Hills & Dales History, Olmsted Design, and Patterson’s Vision
Hills & Dales MetroPark is a landscape shaped by both nature and vision. John H. Patterson, founder of the National Cash Register Company, purchased land south of Dayton in the early 1900s and brought in Frederick Law Olmsted, including John Charles Olmsted and Frederick Law Olmsted Jr., to help shape a park landscape of wooded ravines, rolling terrain, scenic views, and carefully composed outdoor spaces.
That history makes Hills & Dales especially meaningful for your work. Patterson believed outdoor environments could support health, productivity, and quality of life, an idea that feels remarkably aligned with today’s interest in calming, nature-based artwork for healthcare and professional interiors. The park was never just open land; it was a designed refuge intended to lift people out of the press of daily life.
Over time, the landscape changed, and portions of the original design became harder to see. Later restoration work helped recover the park’s historic character, including Dogwood Pond, Patterson Monument, boardwalk connections, naturalized areas, and Adirondack-style park structures. Today, Hills & Dales remains a peaceful urban woodland where design, water, stone, trees, and trails still work together.
