Dayton Rugby Grounds (DRG) is 12.5 acres rugby facility in north Dayton adjacent to Shiloh Park. DRG has two full sized pitches, changing rooms, bathrooms, concessions and a maintenance building Dayton rugby teams have dreamed of a home for rugby since 1975. It was discussed and considered for many years and during the “Great Recession” of the late 2000s a movement towards land purchase began as land price dropped in Dayton. The Property Committee visited over 20 possible sites of the thousands they had looked at on the internet. One of the sites was Riverdale Baseball Park. In early January 2011 a presentation by the property committee lead DARC to vote to donate the money to purchase DRG. DRG is now the home for rugby in the Dayton area.

Good Samaritan Hospital (Dayton)

Good Samaritan Hospital was a full-service hospital on the west side of Dayton, Ohio. The hospital closed in 2018. Prior to closing, the hospital had 3,300 employees and 577 beds. Good Samaritan Hospital had won numerous awards and was constantly recognized for its excellence in health care delivery and safety by places such as U.S. News & World Report, HealthGrades, and others. The hospital was a teaching hospital with the Boonshoft School of Medicine at Wright State University as the affiliated university. The hospital was a part of Premier Health Partners. The Dayton Heart and Vascular Hospital was owned by Good Samaritan Hospital and was located on the hospital's main campus. On January 17, 2018, it was announced Good Samaritan Hospital would close by the end of the year. The final patients were discharged on July 20, 2018. and the hospital officially closed on July 23, 2018. The closure of the hospital was considered highly controversial due to its status as the only hospital within Dayton's impoverished and largely black west side. A complaint regarding the closure was filed with the U.S. Department of Health and the closure was met with a number of protests. In November 2018, the scope of the civil rights complaint was expanded, alleging that Premier Health practices a pattern of discriminatory investment in regards to its placement of properties. Upon completion of the complaint investigation, the Office for Civil Rights found no civil rights violations in the hospital closure.
