History
The Dayton Convention Center was built prior to 1973 on the intersection of Jefferson Street and Fifth Street in downtown Dayton. The Dayton Crowne Plaza along with the City of Dayton Transportation Bureau Parking Garage are connected to the Dayton Convention Center. After 27 years of operation, the City of Dayton City Commission approved a $2.5 million facade renovation which included a $350,000 LED marquee, a coffee shop, as well as its distinctive rotunda entrance.
In 2014, the Dayton Convention Center merged with the City of Dayton Department of Recreation and Youth Services. This merger allowed the Dayton Convention Center access to the Department of Recreation and Youth Services' programs including the three golf courses under ownership of the Department of Recreation and Youth Services: Community Golf Course, Kittyhawk Golf Course, and Madden Golf Course.
