There is very little level ground in the park, but the layout is well planned. Near the east parking lot, the playground has been placed close by. For those who face physical challenges, there is a bridge built from the hillside to the upper levels of the playground's equipment. To the west of the playground are a pair of shelters with grills and picnic tables. At the top of the hill along 9th Street is a restroom facility painted with a mural of famous television animated characters. A workout area for adults is located next to the restrooms. There is a lot of shade and green space, with one large flat area just above (south) of the parking lot. Review #882

The Student Recreational Sports Center houses the Councilman Billingsley swimming and diving complex. It is dedicated to longtime swim coach Doc Councilman now deceased. Also to Hobie Billingsley who attended the meet and now in his early 90's. Both were influential figures in the world of swim and dive for decades. The complex built in the mid 90's sets on Law Ln and Union St. The aquatic complex consist of almost 145,000 of swimming and diving capability. The complex also houses Indiana's polo team. The complex features an 8 lane Olympic size pool with depths of seven to eight feet for greater speed. The complex also features an indoor diving tower. Two one meter and three meter spring board diving. As well as up to 10 meter platform diving. The facility is immaculate and maintained to high standards. Air quality superb. The beauty of the facility comes from the wonderful banners and photos posted on the walls. It really brings the history of Indiana Swim & Dive to life. There is spectator seating, however not large. Estimated capacity is under 500. The wooden bleachers are in need of refinishing. A highlight however for spectators is the gigantic video board showing times and video. They also have a much smaller one at the diving well for polo and dive. Being a Hoosier I can't help but be a fan of the Student Recreational Sports Center / Councilman Billingsley Swimming Pool. What an incredible complex for Indiana University.

I guess you can park along the road as well. This park runs along Old State Road 37, has a canal that runs parallel to it and has a lot to offer. They have a couple of very nice shelters with a bunch of picnic tables, a fireplace, and a grill outside of them. They are really nice and can be reserved. They also have a couple of playgrounds in the park. There is a small playground by the larger pavilion with a swing bank with toddler, traditional and ADA swings. The equipment sits on a bed of wood chips, has a large paved trail that runs through it, and picnic tables nearby. The second playground area is across the street and much larger. It has a large red play structure, a bank of saucer swings, a sit and spin, a small playhouse, a pyramid net climber, a bank of traditional and ADA swings and small play structure for little kids. The equipment is in great shape. The large play structure has a bunch of gnarly slides, some bridges, a pebble bridge, and can be accessed from a large bridge. The small play structure just has a couple of canopies, a bridge, and a slide. It is much less exciting than its larger counterpart. The area has picnic tables and a bunch of benches around for caregivers to sit while their little's play. It is lined mostly with wood chips, but has some patches of cement and rubber surfacing mixed in. There is a bathroom facility over in the area as well. You will also find a sand volleyball court here at the park. It is a decent court and I do not know how much use it gets. The park features paved hiking/walking nature trails that are pretty nice. It is a scenic park and has a peaceful feel about it (the further you get away from the main road, the better), and is very scenic and picturesque. Along the main road is a portion of the trail that also parallels the canal, where you will find a bunch of picnic tables that are visible from the road. The park is home to a couple of desolate baseball fields that look abandoned and is closed off. There is a modest parking lot attached to the fields, but it is gated and closed off like the fields. The fields have potential and appear to have been an awesome spot to play ball at one point. Anyway, this is a very nice, low key park that has a lot to offer. It is well maintained, picturesque and soothing. I can not think of many changes I would suggest for this park other than more parking. You could easily spend a half a day here and not even know it. I recommend spending some time here and checking this place out.

The only negative I had was that I found all the fencing around the different sections of the park (tennis, aquatic area, and skate park) made it difficult to reach the other side of the park without driving out and around the neighborhood to the other side. One bonus though was the pair of limestone guardian heads along the path up to the playground. Very cool! Review #1982

My friend visits the beach every weekend with her boys and others join her from time to time. She had lived in the area for several years before she knew it was there. We drove down for the day earlier this month and really enjoyed it. The beach is a little rocky and muddy, but I suppose that's to be expected in Indiana. It's a nice little spot to lay out, hang out with friends and family, or take out your floats, paddle boards, kayaks, etc. I would visit again. I give it four stars for a couple of reasons. 1. The difficulty in getting down to the beach area since there is only one small walkway. 2. The restrooms are not well-marked, and are thoroughly disgusting. Although a DNR employee sits near the restrooms, they don't seem to do a whole lot. There were people using one of the grills near the restrooms who thought it would be a good idea to play soccer on the sidewalk instead of the grass. They made no effort to move or stop playing as people had to walk by to the restrooms, and the DNR employee cared more about asking someone to move their vehicle than ask those disrespectful guests from hitting others with their soccer ball.
