On February 3, 2014 the Dayton City Council voted to officially change the name of 11th Street Park to Andrew Smith Park per a suggestion from Kathryn Windish.
Andrew Smith Park is located on the corner of 11th Street and Church Street in a peaceful residential area. This park is equipped with a children's play area that includes swings, a climbing rock, and a basketball court. The park also has public restrooms. This neighborhood park offers local residents a place to relax and connect with their neighbors.
Legion Field is a full City Block in size and is located in the middle of Dayton between Church and Oak Streets and between 3rd and 4th Streets. Zoned for public use, this park is maintained by the City of Dayton. This City Park is co-owned by the City of Dayton and the Dayton School District. It was the original site of the Dayton Grade School that was built around 1875 and was destroyed in a fire in the 1950's. Legion Field is currently used as a Baseball Field by local Junior and Midget Baseball Teams, with the baseball diamond maintained by volunteers during the baseball season.
