Wilbear Wright Aviation Trail Passport

Wilbear Wright the Aviator Teddy Bear, a rumored distant relative of Wilbur and Orville Wright, invites you to explore the Greater Dayton area's amazing, authentic aviation sites! In fact, if you download a Wilbear Passport, you merely have to collect stamps from 8 of 17 aviation sites in order to submit your passport and have your very own Wilbear Wright Aviator Teddy Bear "air-mailed" to you! According to Wilbear, if you're really flyin' you can hit 8 sites in one day; however, we recommend that you spend several days (or take a year if you like!) to complete your passport. The Dayton Aviation Heritage National Historical Park's Wright-Dunbar Interpretive Center is the only required stop. You can download a passport or pick one up at any of the 17 participating sites. Guaranteed Top-Flight Fun!

Five Rivers MetroParks Trails Challenge

Your Five Rivers MetroParks locations are home to 160 miles of paved and natural surface trails for hiking, cycling, mountain biking and horseback riding. The greater Dayton region is home to more than 340 miles of paved trails – the nation’s largest paved trail network – and 270 miles of river corridor. The new MetroParks Trails Challenge is a fun way to explore them. MetroParks’ outdoor recreation team has selected 25 trails that range in mileage and difficulty that you can hike, walk, bike, jog, run or paddle. You can participate by completing just one trail. And because you explore the trails on your own time and in your own way, it’s easy to practice safe social distancing while participating in the challenge. Indeed, the new MetroParks Trails Challenge is a convenient way to improve your physical and mental health while connecting with nature and enjoying an active lifestyle.
