Did you know just 20 minutes of exploring novel scents has the same enrichment benefits as an hour-long walk for dogs? Let's get those noses going! Join us for a self-guided hike through the trails of Bill Yeck Park, complete with sniff-stops along the way. Your dog will explore brand-new scents, and you get a beautiful fall hike with your best friend. Afterwards, treat your pup to a fall-themed pup-cup!

Bike Dayton, a Chapter of Bike Miami Valley, will hold two "Lights on Bikes" events this fall as the days get shorter and the sun sets earlier. This will be the second of the two events, on Wednesday, October 21, 2026. Join them at either Wright Stop Plaza or RiverScape MetroPark to receive a free bike light from a volunteer. Adults must show up with a bike to attach the light to. Hours are from 4:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m.
When riding at night, bikes are required to have a white light in front and a red light in back. These sets will make adult bikes legal for night riding.
