Hills & Dales MetroPark Art Prints

Tucked between Dayton, Oakwood, and Kettering, Hills & Dales MetroPark is a landscape shaped as much by vision as by nature. Rolling wooded hills, shaded creeks, historic stone structures, and reflective ponds create an atmosphere that feels both cultivated and deeply peaceful. The park’s gentle terrain and carefully designed vistas offer scenes where light, water, and forest come together in calming, balanced compositions.

A Landscape Designed for Health and Well-Being

Visitors to Hills & Dales owe thanks to John H. Patterson, founder of the National Cash Register Company, who believed strongly in the connection between outdoor environments, health, and human productivity. In shaping his estate, Patterson commissioned the sons of famed landscape architect Frederick Law Olmsted, including John Charles Olmsted and Frederick Law Olmsted Jr., to enhance the land’s natural beauty. Their work emphasized picturesque creeks, wooded ravines, rolling hills, and seasonal wildflowers.

Over time, invasive growth obscured much of the original design. Restoration efforts in the late 20th century brought the landscape back to life, and in 1999, 63 acres became part of the Five Rivers MetroParks system, ensuring its preservation as Hills & Dales MetroPark.

Landmarks and Scenic Features

Hills & Dales blends architectural character with woodland calm.

  • Dogwood Pond: Part of the original Olmsted design, this reflective pond remains one of the park’s most serene focal points.
  • Dogwood Pavilion: Overlooking the pond, this shelter provides classic sightlines and mirror-like water reflections.
  • Paw Paw Pavilion: A rustic structure with a large stone fireplace, especially beautiful when framed by autumn color.
  • John H. Patterson Monument: A bronze equestrian sculpture honoring Patterson’s legacy of progress, education, and civic vision.
  • Adirondack Trail and boardwalks: Shaded woodland paths and wetland walkways that guide visitors through peaceful forest interiors.
  • Historic shelters and stonework: Adirondack-style architecture that blends naturally with the surrounding landscape.
