RIVERSCAPE PH III ENTERTAINMENT PAVILION & BIKE HUB

VENUE COMPLETES A CITY’S URBAN
RIVERFRONT REDEVELOPMENT PLANS
This is the third and final riverfront redevelopment
component of the downtown Dayton Riverscape initiative.
The site has been programmed and master planned to
accommodate large regional community events which have
attracted 250,000+ people over periods of several days
for festival celebrations. Brownfield site remediation was
addressed by raising a significant portion of the parcel to
the existing flood levy and bikeway elevation. This provided
direct, ADA accessibility to the regional bikeway system and
tremendous views of the converging river corridors.
Permanent park amenities including a 15,000 s.f.
Entertainment Pavilion and 5,200 s.f. Bike Hub. The Bike
Hub is a LEED Silver certified building complete with green
roof and has been designed to accommodate year-round,
programmed activities including services for bicyclists,
park users, ice skating rink equipment storage, and event
performance storage. The pavilion tensile structure provides
open air views of the Great Miami River and shelter for a
seasonal ice skating rink.
Overall design and development for RiverScape Phase III is
sensitive to existing adjacent development initiatives and
future riverfront projects to ensure that the synergy created
by the Downtown Dayton Partnership continues well into the
future.
