River Center
The River Center at Bicentennial Commons, Middletown, is situated along the Great Miami River Trail and serves as a reprieve for bicyclists, runners, and pedestrians alike. The building is 3,006 square feet in size and sits on 3.2 acres of land. The facility is equipped with a kitchenette, conference room (Great Miami Room), restrooms, two park offices, and 40 parking spaces.
Future plans for trail connection from Middletown to Franklin are expected to come on line in 2020-21. This will connect the Great Miami River Trail to Dayton and beyond for nearly 80 miles of continuous trail, making Middletown a major bike destination.
This $1.4 million project was made possible in part by a $1 million State Capital Grant administered by the Ohio Department of Natural Resources.
Great Miami Room
The reservable Great Miami Room meeting/reception space is beautifully positioned with scenic views of the Great Miami River and direct access to the spacious outdoor patio. The room can accommodate up to 56 guests, and with the additional rental of the River Center Welcome Center the total capacity increases to 80 guests. It can be used for meetings or seminars, in addition to small events such as birthday parties, showers, or family gatherings.
