Iron Horse Park
About the Park
The playground at Iron Horse Park has its own 'Old Ironsides' in honor of
the Dayton-Cincinnati Railroad that ran through this area.
The park has baseball diamonds and soccer fields. Visitors will see 8
varieties of maples, 10 varieties of oaks, and 9 varieties of evergreens.
The paved Iron Horse Trail runs from I-675, north through Iron Horse Park to Hempstead Station Road in
Kettering and is just under 2 miles in length. The trail was paved in a joint project
between the Park District, Washington Township, and the cities of Centerville and Kettering. The
trail will connect to the trail system that runs throughout the greater
Miami Valley area. When the Kettering section is complete, residents will be
able to bike or hike to the
Creekside Trail which connects to the
Great Miami
Trail and the
Little Miami Trail. Read about the Centerville and Washington Township
Multi-use Trail Plan here.
