Although small, this park is really a cool place. There are 2 playgrounds and parking on site. The Mound is a site to see. The history of it is interesting as well. I definitely recommend a visit. There are a lot of stairs to get to the top but the view is worth it.

Weve been coming to this park since I was a kid. Its not very big, but theres a picnic shelter, playground, and restrooms (seasonal?). Its a great workout to go up the stairs of the mound a few times. My parents used to bring us here every year for the amateur radio picnic.

Nice historical place to just relax and spend time at the top, with a great view as long as its not too hot. Not bad getting up to the top but just be careful of some uneven areas. Kids loved it.

We took our 7 year old twin grandchildren. They enjoyed climbing the mound and playing on the playground equipment. The only complaint is that the public bathrooms are closed from October 15 - April 15!

One of the largest and most accessible mounds in the area. A couple playgrounds, flush bathrooms, and a covered picnic shelter round out the ammenities. Not a bad spot to take the kids for a bit while you enjoy some Adena era history.

My husband and I were traveling to Indiana and made a quick pit stop here at the Mound. Him and I both share an interest in the mound builders so we were able to scratch this historical site off our list of places to visit.

Wonderful Park with 2 picnic shelters that also have grills. The Miamisburg Mound is a major prehistoric Adena Indian feature in Ohio. It is the largest conical shaped earthwork of its kind in the United States and possible the world.

This was a great park to spend some time running around with the kids while visiting family nearby. The history of the mound was fascinating and the views from the top went on for what seemed like forever.

It’s beautiful from the top looking out and down, as well as from the bottom looking up into its mass. Almost immediately after beginning the incline up the stone steps, you can feel the earthly and magikal vibrations flowing beneath you. Don’t forget to marvel in it all!

I love the Mound! My family has been doing our family reunions there for over 30 years and hopefully we have no intentions of stopping. Its got a great location and the scenery is beautiful. Bathrooms are fairly close to the shelter and it has two playgrounds for children to play on. The mound is actually an old Indian burial ground. I havent seen it done in a long time but I remember as a child every so often we would see a group of Indians walk circles around the base of the mound playing instruments in singing. It was a really cool experience to witness.

According to the Ohio History Connection website, “Miamisburg Mound is one of the two largest conical mounds in eastern North America. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the mound is 65 feet tall and 800 feet in circumference and contains 54,000 cubic yards of earth. The mound is visible from several miles away because it stands atop a 100 foot high ridge above the Great Miami River. Steps have been built to the top observation platform, where you can enjoy a wonderful view of the area.”Given its height, there is a beautiful sweeping view of the surrounding area. The signage was informative and the park well maintained. There is a playground and picnic shelter at the park.

This sacred burial mound is the largest in the State of Ohio. This mound lacks the artistic beauty and advanced astronomy of Serpent Mound, but its massive size sets it apart. The fascinating part of this story not being reported, are the eight to ten foot tall human skeletons found nearby many of these mounds. These are the skeletons of the Giants who built the ten thousand plus mounds and earthworks in the central Ohio Valley. The first white men inquired of the local native American Indians regarding who built the mounds, and they conveyed the mounds were already there when they settled the area. The Smithsonian Institute has a repository of giant human skeletons from all over the United States, but is presently unable to locate this collection. DNA research into this mystery has undoubtedly already confirmed the following scripture to be infallible. Genesis 6:4 The Nephilim (giants) were on the earth in those days, and also after that, when the sons of God (angels) came in to the daughters of men, and they bore children to them. These were the mighty men who were of old, men of renown

There were a lot of steps climbing up to the top of the 65 foot mound, so it is a real work out! Once you get to the top you have an amazing view of the area. You can almost see downtown Dayton from the top. There are some playgrounds and a big place to run. Definitely a good place for a quick, historical stop!

This was a wonderful little pice of history I found! This area has 2 playground sections, picnic tables, restrooms, and tons of space to run around and play! The Indian burial ground itself was about 3 stories high (I do believe...Im not good at estimating height sometimes so dont quote me!!) And had a really cool view from the top. This place has 2 pokestop and a Gym for the Mobile game Pokemon Go, as well. :)

Pretty interesting. Located in a park, adjacent to golf course and subdivision. Scared me as I drove up, ( thought it had been absorbed by golf course) but was thrilled to see the huge mound up and around hill. Plenty of printed posted material to read up. Then plenty of steps to climb to reach top!.there is a play apparatus, and covered picnic area. It made a cool find along a pretty day drive.

Im glad I can experience the mound and it seems as if it is taken care of to a degree. However i cant give more than 3 stars because the park and surrounding area feels like a scrambled attempt to make use of land without completely eliminating the historical significance. Kinda rediculous to climb to the top and look over at a golf course with acres of rolling hills (sure look an aweful lot like smaller mounds guys). I wonder how many of the putting greens used to house sacrifical remains.....

One of the few mounds in this area that you can climb a staircase to the top and enjoy the view. Nice play set, picknic area and bathrooms if needed. Also a lot of green space for kids to run and play. Excellent Native American historical site to visit for free with a parking area.

This is an OK place to visit and a genuine Miamisburg landmark. The park is in decent shape, but the parking lot leaves something to be desired. Grass was a little too long and needed to be cut, but overall, its a decent city park. Make sure you climb the 117 steps to the top of the Mound to see a great view of the city.
