    Fletcher Place Community Center - Christmas store

    Fletcher Place Community Center

    Fountain Square

    Best volunteer experience I've had! Not only are they organized, they are efficient, and focused on…read moretheir mission to help as many people as possible. I had heard of Fletcher Place food pantry, but I didn't realize how much this location offers. Check it out: 1. Thrift store. People can come and shop around the store to score clothes, shoes, and household items for free. All clothes have been donated from the community and are sorted in the basement by volunteers. Clothing in the store is nice and any stained clothing is given to Salvation Army. Anything the Salvation Army can't use is given to a company in Canada that turns them into rags. Nothing is wasted and the thrift store staff says that their goal is for people to leave feeling better about themselves. That's why the store is so clean, organized, and friendly. 2. Preschool. There are two preschool classrooms for kids. Not only do they receive education, but teachers will pick out clothing from the thrift store for the children if they are not adequately dressed. Children then get to keep the clothes. There is also a large library that allows students to choose books from (to keep) each week. 3. Kitchen. The top floor has a large multi-purpose room that is often used for meals. Churches come in every day and donate food and cooking ability. No one is ever turned down from receiving food. An average of 120 people are fed every meal. The facility is super nice and always clean- but only with the help of volunteers. The building is also very secure and they always have plenty for volunteers to do. They also have an e-mail newsletter they send out about volunteer opportunities. *There is a big Christmas event in which you take families "shopping" throughout the building to get all necessities and Christmas presents. Very cool. They're looking for help* Check this place out if you've never been. They're doing great things!

    This is where you bring donations. Don't take them to the chain donation drop off center where…read moreyour stuff is sold. Bring your clothes, blankets, shoes here, where they will be given away to people that really really need them. They also operate a free food pantry so you can bring food items for needy families. After donating a cart load of stuff, they gave me a receipt for tax purposes. On the way out I also noticed a community garden and produce stand that probably operates in the summer. My wife is a Girl Scout troop leader and they often come here to volunteer, sorting food items and helping to sort and display other donations.

    Indy Island

    Indy Island

    We had a great time here. I took my 4 and 2 year old. There were lots of lifeguards on duty paying…read morevery close attention and took their jobs seriously. The kids area looked to be updated with a toddler slide, and the big slide was fast and fun!!! I will definitely be back. They are open even in the winter and it was a good day to go today because it was slightly raining out. 4 stars because they have a good court with nothing in it.

    Eh -- Indy Island is OK. I'll start with the positives:…read more 1. There were always at least half a dozen lifeguards circling the perimeter of the pool and water area. They were constantly walking back and forth, checking things out, so I always felt like my kids were safe. 2. This indoor aquatic center is open year-round, so kids have a place to splash, wade and swim even when it's freezing outside. The day I visited, the water temperature was nice and warm, and the ambient air temp was just as inviting. 3. It's really inexpensive. Prices range from $4 to $6 dollars depending on age and the day you visit. Kids 2 and younger are free. 4. This is a small indoor water park, but it's big enough to have fun for hours. Now for the negatives: 1. This indoor water park is really old and in need of an update, and it shows. The playground structures in the water area are visibly rusted and look dirty. 2. The lock to the bathroom / changing room I was in DID NOT LOCK. It goes without saying that their changing rooms should have working locks. I had to stand by the door to block it, hoping that no one would try to come in! It also didn't have a trash can, for some reason. 3. The hallway to the changing room was super dark and didn't have any lights. Pretty much the last place you want to be changing in is a dark and creepy room. Fix the lightbulbs! This is another simple thing that could be fixed if they kept up the place. 4. They don't allow outside food or drinks inside the aquatic center. You can buy food and drinks at their snack bar, but when I was there (on a weekend), it was closed. Not sure what they expect visitors to do with a closed snack bar during operating hours. I like that Indy offers places like Indy Island so kids can enjoy swimming and playing in the water indoors. But this place is in need of some TLC in order to compete with some of the other indoor aquatic centers.

    Grassy Creek Environmental Education Center and Playground - Conference room

    Grassy Creek Environmental Education Center and Playground

    (2 reviews)

    I love how there are so many new playgrounds and park improvements popping up around Indianapolis…read morelately. Indy Parks continues its upward trajectory by building yet another great playground and community center. Grassy Creek Environmental Education Center and Playground is not only a mouthful to say, but it's a badly needed resource in the far east side of Indy. There's no other playground like this in Indy! There's this huge wooden owl in the middle of the playground, and tucked under his little wooden wings are musical instruments. There's a towering treehouse-looking play structure with a giant tunnel slide and giant regular slide. There's a rope climber, swings, an area for toddlers, accessible playground equipment and lots more. Nature themes have been incorporated into the design of the playground, like real wooden beams and animal tracks printed on the playground structures. The whole play area has a soft ground: either artificial turf or a rubberized surface. Inside the community center, there's a bird-watching room, with a big window looking out onto the bird feeders. There are also photos of the birds you might see, as well as activity sheets. The rest of the community center is classrooms and conference rooms. The intention is that this place will hold classes and camps, but I'm not sure they're up and running yet, because this place just opened last week. The community center has limited hours, but the playground and park is open from dawn to dusk. There's also a trail behind the park that goes around a wetlands area. In the future, the trail is supposed to connect to Grassy Creek Trail, which goes from County Line Road to the east and Mitthoefer Road to the west. This is definitely a must-visit place, even if you only visit the playground.

    I came across this building after I took the kids to check out the park. I didn't know if the…read morebuilding was open, so I just tried and gladly it was open. The two workers inside said the building for was nature and activities. She said they have coloring activities, bird watching, and there were animals in Aquarium tanks we could check out. They had a tarantula, toads, frogs, corn snake, and more. We checked out the bird watching area which was cool. The building appears brand new, very clean, had classrooms inside, and restrooms.
