Potawatomi Park

"Good place to visit. You can go to the zoo and see live reindeer, Santa and Mts. Claus"

"The park is always great and we've been to multiple birthdays in the picnic areas. Always fun for kids. Splash pad is fantasric in the summer and the restrooms are always rather clean. I see dogs walking from times to time so it seems rather pet friendly as well."

"Real Services had a picnic for seniors and I took my Granddaughter and great granddaughter at the park"

"South Bends' best park beside the new Howard Park, which ranks no.2 due to its eradication of all the trees. Potawatomi, named after the Native American people that once lived there, is full of tall old-growth trees, so shade is easy to find, even for parking spots. Four main features make this park unique over all others when combined. There is a fairly large zoo, the biggest outside of Chicago. It is well-kept and continuously modernized. An excellent zoo for the region. There is a playground area with excellent structures and equipment located inside a shady crop of old-growth elm, oak and maple trees. There is a wonderful conservatory that has been in operation since the 1930's (I believe, but I could be wrong). And there is a large picnick area with plenty of shelters, tables, and grills for use in a shady Grove of trees next to an open air amphitheater. And I should also mention a fifth feature, the public vegetable garden behind the conservatory. It is large and well kept. I posted a few pictures of it here as well."

"Potawatomi Park has everything. Great covered picnic tables, excellent playground, fun splash pad, restroom facilities and lots of shady trees! The whole park is very accessible and great for all ages. We keep returning here because it's perfectly situated next to the zoo and the public pool. Grab your cooler and eat outside!"
