One of my new favorite parks! I've seen Instagram posts from MacGregor Park for years and wanted to check it out. It's got a great mix of woodsy trails and open prairie land, so you can walk or run in the shade or sun. I also love that there are plenty of benches and places to stop and linger along the way. Don't miss the life-size bird's nest photo op on the far west trail. We visited on a Saturday morning and the parking lot was already filling up. Get here early to get a spot, but there is plenty of space in the park to spread out.

We went to this park on an unseasonably warm fall day. I have never seen it in bloom or anything, but we wanted to go for a hike. I will say the sound from the highway makes me feel less in nature than I'd like. I wonder if adding trees to the west end facing 31 would help with noise. We loved the wooded section. We will definitely go back as I'd like to see it in bloom!

maps of the trails are scattered throughout the park

On the north end of the Westfield area is this park on the northeast corner of the intersection of US 31 and SR 38. The park has nearly 100 acres and is loaded with natural material hiking trails through woods and prairies. There is some elevation change which could be challenging if you go after a rain, but anyone in decent shape shouldn't have too much trouble. There is a shelter and small trail near the entrance. There are grills and picnic tables there along with plenty of parking Farther into the park, another parking area with restrooms, a bench swing, and a small gazebo are available. To the right of the parking area starts trail of different lengths that are identified by different colors and leaf type markers. Don't worry...there are several trail maps posted around the park including a "You are Here" marker. One thing to note is that there is a private property located in the middle of the larger trail area that is off limits to visitors. You can see it from some of the trails, but there is plenty of trail to keep you busy without having to be nosy and trespassing. There are a couple creeks in the area with bridges to help you cross them. There are also a number of information plaques posted if you want to learn more about the park or to take a break from walking. The outer lap is 1.8 miles with a series of shorter detours that can actually make you walk a lot longer if you do them in series. A nicely maintained park with plenty of space...just a little too much highway noise to feel totally out in the wild. Review #2031

Snake from the park, he was just chilling

Right near my house, one of my favorite parks to walk. They added a host of new trails which is pretty awesome. It's always peaceful there. Part of the trail is right on 31 but it never bothered me. I've seen some cool wild life too.

There are several swings for all ages and abilities. My granddaughters spent a long time on the splash pad. There is also an interactive movement game for the kids to play (like a Simon Says). What I like most is that there are many benches, some covered, around the park to relax and watch the kids play. For the adults, there are several pickle-ball courts and a bocci ball pit. There is open green space for football or other sport. The park has a nice (colorful) set for f rest rooms. There are four pavilions that can be used for larger gatherings and picnics with lots of tables. The walkways through the park are paved for easy accessibility. There are two parking lots that can accommodate 40 plus cars. I'll be a regular. Look for me chasing two kids.

I just happened upon the park after making the detour off Main Street to avoid construction. There are TWO amphitheaters, a meandering trail through natural wetland, a fabulous playground and lots of space to relax and enjoy a cup of coffee. A modern artistic cafe is nearing completion on the north side of the park. The colorful playground offers a maze of colorful climbing structures. There is a wall for sitting and watching the kids. I grabbed parking on the street, but there wasn't much. I think most people walk to the park from one of the trails that merge adjacent to the park. I didn't see open restroom facilities, but there are probably some in the cafe, when open.

The plaza itself is massive and has good spacious seats, clean restrooms, open park and a trail leading to a neat hike. In summers we have the Westfield farmers market right near Grand Junction Plaza and we have families, couples, friends hanging out giving such good summer feels! Westfield definitely needed a place like this and while some portions are still under construction there's enough to do and walk around on a good weather day. Parking is free, usually it's not a task to find street parking and everything is just open space!

It is a very modern park that is lined with the rubbery surface that most of the new parks are using. It has a half basketball court with an adjustable rim. The court is in great shape and has a bench along the baseline for spectators to sit and watch. You will find a very nice paved walking/jogging trail that goes around the perimeter of the park, as well as trails leading to the park from nearby neighborhoods. The bathroom facility at the park is very well maintained and is one of the better ones that I have seen in a park. They serviced the restrooms and trash while I was there. The park has two picnic shelters with tables under it and one has a couple of grills just outside of it. The playground is awesome. It has top-notch modern equipment. One side of the playground area has a very nice large jungle gym with a couple of slides, one of which is a spiral slide. There is also a bank of swings with traditional and ADA swings, a spinning net sphere, a pull up bar, and an interactive light game. This side is intended for 5 and older, but my 3 year old spent most of his time over here. On the other side is play equipment for smaller kids. There is a bank of toddler swings, a small jungle gym with a tunnel and slides, a couple of see-saws, a modern merry-go-round, and an expression swing. In between both area is some picnic tables and percussion musical instruments. Both play areas have benches on one side of it for parents to sit and on the other side (outer perimeter) are some workout equipment between some more benches, under a nice shade bearing awning. The workout equipment is intended for those over 14 years old. The equipment happens to face the respective playgrounds, so parents can get their workout on while keeping an eye on their littles. On final feature of the park is its green space. There is a patch of grass that can be used for playing catch, soccer, football, or flying a kite. It can also be used for working out or having a picnic. The only downfall of this space is that it is like in like a little crater. So, it gets very soggy after rain and snowfall and takes a while to dry. I really like this park. My littles and I spent about 2 hours here. It is not very big, spanning 5 acres, but still has a lot to do. This is definitely a destination park and was well worth the 40 minute ride for me to get here.

Founders Park - Pavilion

This is a 37-acre park (it feels bigger, but that's according to the Carmel Parks website). I think the reason it feels bigger is that it better utilizes its space over a park like the nearby Hazel Landing. Founders Park has a large shelter, restroom facility, open sports fields (there were kids playing soccer while I was there), walking trails, and a very cool playground that is nature-inspired - swings, a sandbox, climbing structures, and more. Founders Park also has native prairie, wetlands, and a pond. Wilfong Pavilion is a neat facility with a capacity in its main room of 99 people. It also has beautiful views. Founders Park has had multiple upgrades recently including repair of its retaining wall, new fencing, an improved parking lot, and added rubber safety surfacing with the playground. I definitely see this as a very family friendly park. There's a seasonal drinking fountain, fishing, trails, a bike rack, and a seasonal foot wash station that makes me wish I had feet. Carmel is typically good about accessibility and that's definitely evident here. The bathroom had a nice, larger stall with grab rails. I would definitely return and I would definitely consider renting Wilfong Pavilion myself as it has accessible parking and appropriate curb cuts.

We found the bird collection particularly useful in helping us identify some of our backyard birds. The staff is very friendly and knowledgeable. They were preparing for a school group during our visit. After the nature center, we walked on one of the nature trails. Some flowering trees were in bloom. The trails are wide and well marked (but not paved). Strategically placed benches along the trails make perfect spots to bird watch. Nearby, is an outdoor amphitheater with a large grassy area for seating. I'm not sure what programs they host, but the space is nice. Near the front of the park, is a modern playground with several colorful climbing structures, swings, slides and the usual equipment. A pavilion is available to get shade or feed the kids. There is a water fountain to keep the kids hydrated. Behind the playground, adult exercise equipment is available. We also saw a soccer field perfect for local practice. There is dedicated parking with handicapped spaces and restrooms on site.

Raymond Worth Park is a fun little spot to spend some time outdoors. It mostly consists of a…read moreplayground, a small trail, and a parking lot (and has a horse hitching post, which is neat). The playground is why we visited, because I have children. The playground has a tall structure with tube slides, regular slides, things to climb (like rope structures) and places to hide for hide-and-seek. There's also a merry-go-round and a long balancing tilty thing that I don't know the name of. The playground is built mostly for kids 5 and older, but young ones will probably find something to enjoy, too. The ground of the playground is soft, synthetic Astroturf. My kids spent almost an hour playing on the playground. It's not the biggest playground, but it's fun and occupied their imaginations for quite a while. There are benches off to the side of the playground (thank goodness), but there isn't much shade at this park (boo). One reason I didn't give Raymond Worth Park five stars is because it's set right off of a busy road, and there is no buffer between the park and the road. There's a small fence that only goes halfway around the front of the playground, but a child could definitely dart into the street easily. So parents who have kids who like to run off and wander: You might want to rethink visiting this park, or just be vigilant with the supervision. There's a small, beautiful trail around the park, which I walked part of the way. I visited during the summer, so the path was grass-lined and there were berries on bushes and flowers everywhere. It's definitely a beautiful place to walk and enjoy some of the nature in Westfield.

But they seem to have a blast coming down the slide. The lower level playground had features for toddlers and a swing that is popular. The water feature, splash pad, is unique with a natural looking waterfall and spouts of water that the kids run through. My granddaughters had a blast and were kept occupied for close to an hour splashing. There is a really nice pavilion with tables and very clean restroom. I want to give a shout out to the staff that was cleaning all morning including power washing the sidewalks. They keep the park immaculate and are friendly and helpful. There is a second pavilion that is new and the sledding hill is close by. There are trails and the park connects with Jill Perlman facility. The marshy area between the two parks is good for birdwatching. The park is dedicated to Jim Engeldow, who helped support the building of the Carmel Parks program. There is plenty of parking. The park tends to get crowded. The park is accessible with ramps and handicapped parking.
