    Highland Park is a huge community park in Kokomo with lots of green space, recreational spaces and…read morea historic covered bridge. What I like best about the park are the mature trees that provide lots of shade. Some of the trees are over 400 years old. There is a huge colorful playground with climbing structures, swings and slides. The base is a mix of mulch and soft matting. Benches line the area for parents to sit and watch kids . (The equipment could use a good cleaning from the trees.) There are two ball diamonds with bleachers within the park. A beautiful stream that meanders through the park attracts fisherman. Tree-covered picnic areas are scattered along the creek. The Vermont Covered Bridge spans the creek and is open to pedestrian traffic. There are restroom facilities near the playground. There are several parking areas throughout the park and you can drive along the creek. Highland Park is a great place to bring the family.

There is parking right next to these attractions and easy access for those who need it. They were both behind glass so the glare made it hard to see both, but they were amusing. Right next to the display was a playground suitable for all ages. The slide is a bit high, and it seemed old, but in good condition. There are also covered picnic tables in the area. Down the ways a bit in the park is a red covered bridge that was fun to walk through and take some photos with. Lastly, there is a large pavilion stage area what was having an orchestra concert, free to attend, and the audience was partially shaded with some picnic tables in the back as well.

The park has a very nice paved walking trail, 2 picnic pavilions with picnic tables under it, a bathroom facility, three light baseball diamonds, a BMX trail, a tennis court, a basketball court, and a playground area. The basketball court is in decent shape. The tennis court, however, not so much. It almost looks abandoned. The paved walking trail is in good repair. It. The playground is good. It is lined with wood chips and has a couple of banks of regular swings, a large jungle gym with a small slide, a spiral slide, and monkey bars, a merry go round, see-saws, circular monkey bars, a bank of toddler swings, a slide, a hold and spin. There is a separate playground area for smaller children that is fenced in and has small jungle gym and animal rockers. Both areas has benches on the outskirts that parents can sit on and watch their littles play. The larger play area also has picnic tables placed along the grounds. The park is jointly owned by the town and township, whatever that means and is home to a 300-capacity community building that can be rented for special events. There is the Lilly Building, which is also available for rent and it hold 475 people. The park is well maintained is even though it is not as modern as the newer parks that are popping up, it still has a lot to offer. It is on the border of being a destination park. My littles and I enjoyed the park and had a great time. It was a nice day and we had the park all to ourselves, which was cool.

As of April 21, 2025, they'll be charging for entrance, so might as well review it! I've been coming here for years now. It's an amazing spot with one major trail (2.85 miles) and then a shorter out-and-back trail that leads to the water overlook. I frequented this place cause it's not as known, which means less people! One of my go-to places to hike in the city given its ease of access off of the interstate and free admission. Womp. Thanks for providing the free space while it lasted!

    The Starling Nature Sanctuary is an 11-acre nature sanctuary within the boundaries of Eagle Creek…read morePark. The sanctuary is named after Scott Starling and is located at the north end of Eagle Creek Reservoir (Pike Township). Starling passed away at the age of 29 after being struck by lightning during a storm. He was a 1977 Pike High School graduate and a Purdue University graduate. At the time of his death, he was working toward a doctorate in marine aquaculture and had served in the Peace Corps. The area was purchased by Indianapolis in 1966 and was officially designated the Scott Starling Nature Sanctuary in 1992. It's managed by Indy Parks. The sanctuary is the setting for a wetlands restoration project led by the Center for Earth and Environmental Science along with Indy Parks, wetland restoration professionals from Spence Restoration Nursery, and IUPUI (now IU-I) students and faculty. The sanctuary has done a great job of maintaining its natural state while also becoming more accessible. The core of the sanctuary is a 2.4-mile trail that is moderately challenging. Initially not very accessible (and trails that branch off can be far less accessible), there's been much done to improve it. The boardwalk section, in particular, is kid-friendly and is a popular yet fairly isolated spot for hiking, walking, and running. In terms of wheelchair users, this is really only a trail for more experienced, independent wheelchair users. I grew up in Pike Township and visited this area a lot in my young adult years, however, now that I live in Lawrence Township I don't get over here as much as I should. Today's visit was a reminder of how much I enjoy it even though there were a couple spots that were pretty difficult to pass in the wheelchair. It's worth the extra effort for sure.

It has the Kokomo Arts Pavilion with lots of lawn space too. There's also the canal walk that has a bronze sculpture and a butterfly mural as you approach Washington Street. For activities, there is a baseball field, basketball court, lots of tennis courts, and a pedestrian bridge over the canal to the "Beaches" of Kokomo water park. For younger visitors, there is a delightful bright playground near the pavilion that has a gorilla statue watching over it! And up on the corner, there is a real tank on display. Free parking lines the north border of the park and there is some additional parking in the park on the west end. And the place is so close to downtown that the walk to get something to eat or if you want to shop is really close too! Great job Kokomo! This is a gem of a park! Review #2326

    After visiting and reviewing over 400 parks, it can become easy to get bored with seeing parks…read moreseemingly cutout of the same mold, just in different locations. So when I find one that greatly exceeds my expectations, I get a renewed interest to keep searching. The small town of Mulberry (about 1250 people) is northwest of Frankfort in Clinton County (instead of heading west to Lafayette, head east on SR38). I've been to a lot of small towns and they either don't have a park, or they have something dated, underfunded, or both. Not so! At least not in Mulberry. The park has a huge playground, lots of mature trees for shade, a baseball park, basketball court, and shaded shelter. There is even a permanent restroom facility on site! The playground is loaded with pieces and includes giant swings, the standard play, climb, slide assembly, spinning and other climbing pieces, and a play "train" for kids to pretend. Remember when kids had to use their imaginations? Anyway, I really thought it looked like a fun place to be. And the landscaping was well maintained too! A number of lilies were growing near the entrance to the play area and the rest of the garden was in good order too. Parking is a little weird since there isn't a designated lot other than some signs for handicapped parking reserves. I guess you are supposed to pull in nose to stone (the road that wanders through the park is lined with large rocks keeping the vehicles off the grass.) If you are in the area with kids, this is a really good place to make a rest stop to burn of some energy! Review #1067

Flat Fork Creek Park is part of Fishers Parks. Located at 101st and Cyntheanne Road, Flat Fork Creek Park offers just over 60 acres of relaxing fun for just about everyone in the family including a good amount of ADA accessibility. First off, you'll get a 60-foot sledding hill here. That's good to know as we inch toward winter. It's the tallest point in Hamilton County. There's also a 1.25 mile progressive mountain bike course that offers features for both mountain biking newbies and those with more experience. There's a beautiful fishing pond - state license required except for those 17 and under. Nearly 20 acres in the park are reforestation areas and there's a shelter with picnic tables that can be rented. Okay, that accessibility I mentioned? The 3k I did was a relatively small group, though it was centered around disability and had several disabled participants. The park includes an ADA accessible treehouse, a paved multi-use trail, and a boardwalk (I would note that while the boardwalk is, indeed, accessible, you do want to be a tad careful due to the side of the boardwalk that do offer a bit of a drop-off). You know what I think is really cool? They've created a ramp here so that even those with mobility issues can get to the top of the sledding hill - in most parks, that's an afterthought. As a side note, Fishers has won awards for their inclusion work and this park really shows it. This is really just a lovely park. You're not going to find a playground or other frequent park features, however, this beautiful park does a nice job of including everyone and weaving together nature with fun park adventures. This was my first time here. It won't be my last.

I love taking my dog here for a walk or going alone just to watch the sun set. The park is spacious and clean and overall a great experience. If it were closer to me I'd probably go daily.
