Reviews
"A very large park with some fields for sports. You can get great pics of the sunset here. You can also unload boats here and float down the river. Quiet and safe. Public restrooms."
"One of the best places to enjoy a relaxing walk in the green. The river adds a touch of charm and tranquility to the park, which is filled with green grass and trees. You can also spot various birds in the park, making it a great destination for bird watchers."
"Great place to walk and be near nature. Paved trails surround ball fields. Head past some trees to gravel paths through meadows with wild flowers, gliding swings, fitness stops, and a small playground area made to look natural not bright and plastic. Another turn into the trees takes you to more rugged paths and down to the white river. Walk along the river and you’ll find this swing over the water."
"Great walk with wonderful views of the River and fields where deer and birds are visible. Great sunset! Also open areas for children to run and play ball, as well as a playground."
"This is a great little park. There are trails, a little playground, a sandbox, plus a large green space. There's also this little building with a museum like exhibit of early life in Indiana and some artifacts. Random but a neat little surprise. There are also (pretty gross) restrooms by the parking lot. That said, if you have younger kids (1-2 years old) this is not the best park. The slides and steps are all stone and every point off the top is a bit of a drop off. Not ideal for toddlers."
