Years later this is a lovely green space used for frisbee golf, RC planes and walking the dog. However, this is NOT an off leash dog park. Dogs are to be on leash at all times. I was in this park in the fall and it is lovely and since it is off the beaten path there are very few people flocking to the location. The only down side is the lack of public "resources", no water, no washrooms (one port-o-potty by the RC field) and no trash cans.

I really enjoyed this park! From the road that runs through the middle of the park, you can access…read morethe trailhead to a half mile hike along a creek. Great footing on the wide grit path with wooden bridges over the creek crossings. Lots of woods and the ever present gurgling of the creek make it peaceful. Just enough away from traffic that you don't hear the cars on US231 until you are close to passing under it. Lots of benches along the trail too. The trail is not a loop, so it's a full mile if you walk back to your car. Besides the trail, there are four playgrounds, a swimming pool, shelters and enough open space to play your own games. Disc Golf, baseball and basketball are options too! Lots of shade in the playground areas to help keep you cool. Best park in the area! Review #976

My experience at this park was for the inaugural Year for Phases of the Moon Festival. The park set…read moreup was a wonderful experience for me. We camped in Forest Tent Camping B. It was back in the woods near a clear lake. There were paved trails we rode our bikes on to get around. The boat dock was pretty looking out to another lake area. There were old buildings that were well kept on the festival grounds. Very neat! Especially the old train car that is set up as an old restaurant that used to be in service. I would love to come back to the park for the festival and other times throughout the year! I know some festivarians had unfortunate experiences getting into the festival grounds Wednesday and Thursday because of Wednesday's downpour but to me they tried their best to get things up to par as quick as possible and continued everyday throughout the weekend. They also had a small disc golf course set up and a playground that I noticed.

Each hole has two options for red = amateur and blue = more challenging. Each of the holes is about a 3 par. This was one of the "easier" courses I've experienced in my 1 year experience of the sport. The holes are much shorter than most others. Doesn't make it any easier though! Note that this is managed by the church. You park behind the church to access the course. Biblical verses are on each of the holes signage.

A large sign at the back offers a map. The first 9 are pretty open, mostly in a field, and great for beginners/warm up. Each hole has two starting spots, helpful if you have kids. The second 9 were so much fun! I think we will start there next time. Definitely in the woods, but not a ton of brush if you go off course. A few shots go along Fall Creek. The final 9 are more advanced, but we didn't make it that far. Each hole and basket is clearly marked and there are maps at the start of each hole to help you direct where to throw. It isn't always immediately obvious where the basket will be.

Well this man doesn't. He made sure we didn't need anything and we didn't see him again till the next evening. The was awesome! His staff is super friendly also. We didn't get the omg another boring campground feeling from this place. There is a lot to do and we could only fit a quarter of it in on that short of a stay. There are Porta potty's out there and they are the cleanest ones I have ever been in.

Washington Park is new and improved! The city of Indianapolis is on a roll right now, investing…read morefunds into improving the parks around the city, and Washington Park has been one of the targets for a much-needed glow-up. As of August 2025, there is an all-new playground in the center of the park, a splash pad, new picnic shelters, a huge parking lot and a comfort station. This is in addition to the other features that currently exist on the 120 acres of the park: a family recreation center, an outdoor basketball complex, walking trails, an 18-hole disk golf course, a mountain bike course and another smaller, older playground. The new playground at Washington Park is super fun for kids of all ages. There's an area made for kids ages 5-12, with a big play structure that has multiple slides, ropes courses and lots of things to climb. There's also a play area for toddlers, with a mini slide and a pint-sized play structure. There are also musical instruments, a teeter-totter, swings (including accessible swings) and cement creatures like turtles and salamanders you can climb on top of and ride, if you want to! The splash pad at Washington Park is one of only two splash pads in the near east side of Indianapolis, so it is a much-needed feature in this part of Indy. (The only other splash pad is at Wes Montgomery Park.) It has multiple water features and a fun water slide. One of the best things about it is that there is actual shade around the splash pad! Shade is a scarce resource at playgrounds, oftentimes. I've only visited the new playground and splash pad, but I'm impressed with the updates that have been made to Washington Park! I hope to come back and explore more of the park sometime soon.

Columbian Park won me over when I saw that there is a section of the playground especially for…read moreteens. I love that! A lot of playgrounds are designed for kids 12 and younger, and older kids often get shafted, even though many of them still want to play. Whoever designed this park understands that, and there's a big area with playground equipment designed for teenagers. The rest of the playground is amazing, too. There are huge slides that go down a hill, lots of things to climb on, swings, a small playground for babies and toddlers, and most importantly: lots of shade! There is shade from trees and shade from canopies around the playground, and all of the shade makes this a very pleasant playground to visit. Lots of walking paths and open grassy areas are all throughout this huge park. Within the park is also a zoo (Colombian Park Zoo), which kind of tells you the size of this park.

This is an amazing park tucked away in a small suburb of Lafayette. It sits right in front of the…read morezoo and spans 40 acres. It is relatively well maintained and clean. There is tons of parking available, spread out between a couple of lots and some street parking. The park has lots of shelters with picnic tables under them and a grill just outside of them. I would say there are at least 18 of them that are available to be rented. The park also has a couple of shuffle boards that you can play and a loose picnic tables scattered on the grounds. The park is home to an amazing playground that has just about everything you would want in a playground. It's only negative is that it is on a bed of wood chips. The area is pretty large and divided into different areas for recommended age groups. There is a wide mix of equipment here including traditional and toddler swings, a saucer swing, sit-n-spins, slides, expression swings, and a teen area with a jungle gym that has a suspended pebble bridge and monkey rings. There is a huge jungle gym that sits a top a hill in the area that has a bunch of slides and some monkey bars. The equipment seems to be in pretty good repair and looks great, even though it is a bit older. You will find a share a book kiosk and a glider swing in the area as well. The park features a train depot that sits right across from the zoo entrance and it has an operational train that goes around the park. It was not running while I was there because it was out of season. I really liked the park's man-made lagoon that winds through it. It very picturesque and calming. It adds a nice touch to the park. They have a little pier on the lake where they do paddle boat rentals, in season. You will see little amphitheater at the park. It seems relatively new and is very nice. it has seating and a scenic little plaza area with picnic tables that over look the park's lagoon. There is also a trail, the Columbian Trail, that weaves in and around Columbian Park. It is well paved and has a very scenic view. What sets this park apart though is its veterans area. They have a large area, the Memorial Plaza, located along the water dedicated to memorials to veterans. They have the United Spanish War Memorial, Gold Star Family Memorial, Medal of Honor Memorial, Purple Heart Memorial, and the Vietnam Memorial. There is also a bunch of flag waving from flags poles over there and a Howitzer gun on display. You will also see the Tippecanoe County Veterans Memorial, which is the oldest memorial in the park, dating back to 1949. I did not see a bathroom facility dedicated to the park, but I was able to use the one attached to the Zoo's entrance. It was very nice and well maintained. Also located on the water is the Rush Pavilion which serves as a clubhouse that can be rented for special events. It can hold up to 50 people and includes access to a full service kitchen. The wrap around porch can hold an additional 100 people. This is a destination park that you can easily spend a half of day without even going to the zoo or amphitheater. It has everything that I look for in a park and more. It is very picturesque and I really enjoyed my time there. I also like, that they included salutes to veterans in their planning. I highly recommend checking this place out. It checks off all the boxes and will not disappoint.
