Cox Arboretum and Gardens MetroPark, Botanical garden in Dayton, Ohio, United States.
The 189-acre park contains multiple specialized gardens, including a shrub collection with 500 varieties, conifer areas, and ornamental grass displays.
James M. Cox Jr. established the arboretum in 1962 by donating his property to a nonprofit foundation before its transfer to Five Rivers Metroparks in 1972.
The Zorniger Education Center and Barbara Cox Center provide educational programs focused on horticulture, sustainability, and environmental conservation throughout the year.
The arboretum maintains 2.5 miles of walking trails through woodlands and meadows, plus additional paved paths that connect various cultivated garden sections.
The Conservation Corner spans 7 acres and functions as a living library, preserving species that thrive in marginal areas through specific habitat management techniques.
