Dowling Park,

J.F. Mahoney Drive, Hammond, IN 46323

"Fishing here is a bust. They use automatic feeders so the fish never feel pressured to eat anything. Wish they would take away the feeders and restock. Especially with more bait fish and bass. But other than fishing, it's a pretty chill spot."

"Was a perfect place for all of Purdue Northwest outdoor Fall Sports Festival!"

"Fun place to visit .. just wish people wouldn't litter..and pick up after them selves ... theres plenty of trash cans ..."

"Well maintained fields and stands. Very clean. But they don't allow dogs.☹"

"I love this place. It's always clean. They just put in a new jungle gym doe the kids. They have a bike trail or a walking trail that is short but has sweet views. The only thing I don't like is there are so many geese around and the leave droppings on the ground. They have a small pond I see many people fishing in. I'm not sure when they fill the pond with fish. They also have a hill that is used for sledding in the winter time. There are bathrooms, but they are not open all the time so that's another downside. The park is very close to Jean Sheoard Hall so I guess bathrooms are still close by. I love this park I I am excited to see what they are building next to the hall."
