    Oakley Playground in Deming Park - shelter with a stone fireplace

    Oakley Playground in Deming Park

    While visiting Terre Haute, the first park I visited was Deming Park, and I knew I would return…read more The park has multiple amenities, including a full disc golf course, a swimming pool (during season), horse shoes, tennis, the Clark-Landsbaum Holly Arboretum, several art installations, a mini train "the Spirit of Terre Haute", and, oh yeah, a very cool playground. There are 177 acres at this park and that allows visitors to find quiet places as well as the hustle/bustle of the playground area. Shelters are available throughout the park and with many paved roads winding through the park, access to the shelters is easy. The playground was busy with families playing on the multiple pieces of equipment. I liked that there was plenty of shade close to the playground and that the picnic tables have roofs on them. During the season, a mini-train ride is available for a small fee. Just look for the colorful mural by Becky Hochhalter painted on the train shelter to know where to board. (Tickets are available at the nearby Torner Center during the season). There is also a nice garden near the playground entrance called "Jackie's Garden". It features a bronze sculpture of a seated little girl who is watching butterflies. The arboretum is a plant garden dedicated to preserving the varieties of holly. The entire hillside is covered with mature plants and each has been identified with markers to assist visitors. Nearby, a 14' tall stainless steel sculpture called "On the Wings of Flight" by Simonis (2015) can be found too! The park is a great place to spend some time if you are wanting to get outdoors and play. Review #892

    Huge playground for the kids. One area is for the bigger kids and another area for 2-5 year olds…read more Tons of shade for the parents to watch the kids at play. There is a train that goes around a small track for $1.25 each passenger close to the playground. Haven't checked out the restrooms for cleanliness but they have them here and a water fountain in case you forgot to pack drinks. Lots of covered picnic benches great for a family picnic. There Is a community pool open in the summer close to the playground too. It's $2.75 for kids and $3 for adults. They have a diving board and water splash area for the younger ones. I wasn't able to see if the pool has a baby pool as it's not open until noon.

    This is a nice park and show what a community can do together. Many of the park's amenities are…read moredonated such as the shelter, exercise equipment, and playgrounds. It was reimagined almost 10 years ago in 2014. There is free street parking available for the park and you could also park in the Bauer Family Center lot, which it sits behind. The park is not very big and has a decent full basketball court, a shelter with picnic tables under it, and a a couple of playgrounds. There is fitness equipment there, but it looks to be in fair condition, and thats generous. There are two playground areas here. They are both on the rubbery mat surface that are popping up at most new parks. There is an area for smaller kids that is fenced in and has a jungle gym with a tiny bridge, and some slides. There is also a low hanging swing there and a metal bench for caregivers to sit and watch the littles play. The other playground area, for bigger kids, has a bank of traditional/toddler swings. This area features a monstrous jungle gym contraption over there. As well as a stand up see-saw, and seat spinners. The equipment seems relatively new and is in great repair. The park has a hole seems to be well maintained and was clean. There is a fence around the entire park's perimeter. Other park amenities include a shower, which I found random, a glider swing, a share a book kiosk, and some benches (the Buddy Bench). This is not a destination park, but is a very nice community park that is nestled in a small neighborhood.

    The SIA (Subaru of Indiana Automative) South Tipp Park was made over and rededicated in 2014 next…read moreto the Bauer Family Center on South 3rd St. The park looks great and kids seem to be enjoying it every time I go by. There are distinct playgrounds for different age groups and on the older kid side, there is a basketball court too. Parking is limited to street parking for the park visitors, but there is a lot for the Bauer Family Center if visiting both places. I was able to street park on Fountain St without any problems. There is also a small shelter area for shade since the trees on the property are on the perimeter and don't offer much shade to the playground. Note that the Bauer and other neighborhood buildings have murals that add fun backdrops to the playgrounds. Review #1086

    This is such a beautiful new park; perfect for kids ages 1-10!…read more My 1 year old loved the area with the swings set back in the trees, and my 4 year old loved the slides that were up on the hillside. Lots of clean bathrooms to choose from, lots of space for kids to run, and the boating area looks like it'll be great for the summer!

    Came here for the first time on a Sunday afternoon for a leisurely walk and some exercise outside…read more Parking was ample perhaps because we came at an earlier time however I can easily see this place filling up. It's great to see the restroom area, which was actually fairly clean a lot of seating and some picnic tables and there were people there having parties for children. The fishing pond area looks pretty clean, although I will say it's a little small for kayaking or canoe trips for an hour which you can rent the canoe there. The children's play area is very nice very modern and very innovative. It includes owl shaped, and owl, looking playground toys for climbing, as well as some built-in music tools. There are some various slides as well, which I found a little narrow perhaps because they're meant for children not for an adult and they are quite steep. The walk into the woods part is rather short, but it's nice. I hope this place is getting developed even further to create more walking paths. They also did a great job preserving the old school building, although you can't go in it because it's locked.
