It can change the day before. Also, they don't have a cut-off so they keep adding kids during the middle of a season (because they accept your money for as many kids as will sign up). The venues are all over the place not just the fieldhouse ... once even 25 minutes away at Warren Central at 8 p.m. on courts that were sub-par when the real basketball courts were unused. They charge an extra $5 for parents to see their kids each game. We tried 3 sessions because my kiddo loves to play basketball.

You'd almost miss it if you weren't looking for it. There's a playground here, which is important to mention if you have children like mine who might not want to go for a hike or walk anywhere outdoors if it doesn't also include visiting a playground. The playground is located right next to the parking lot, and there are lots of things to climb and jump on. There's also a slide and monkey bars and things, and benches to sit on. As the name of this place suggests, there is a paved trail that winds through the back of a neighborhood, around a retention pond, that supposedly meets up with Geist Reservoir. We didn't make it too far along the trail, but I'd like to come back to explore it a little more.

Sometimes, the simplest things entertain kids the most, and my kids were entertained for quite a while with just four things to play on. The slide is one of those tall, super slippery jobs that launch you off of it and onto the ground straight on your butt. Then there's the geodesic dome with the chipped paint. And then there are two climbing things: one is kinda like monkey bars, and the other if shaped like some animal. The ground is wood chips, so it's softer than solid ground when falling off the slide (and you will fall off -- I'm telling you, it launches you off).

Whether you are little (there are three playgrounds), an older kid (lots of baseball fields, a skate park, basketball courts), or an adult who enjoys hiking, the park should provide the opportunity for enjoyment. Parking lots are distributed throughout the park which winds along Church St to a loop on the western end. So, no matter where you go, you can take advantage of the convenience. Restrooms, some with colorful murals on the buildings, are also available during the warmer months. Shelters are also available for gatherings, some with grills. The park could use a bit of attention, but hopefully, a spring cleaning can brighten the look of the place. Review #747

DuBarry Park is a 27-acre park that was acquired by Indy in 1967. It is located behind Tindley…read moreSummit Academy and has a playground, basketball and tennis courts, a football field, a pond, greenspace, and a fairly freshly updated playground. DuBarry's ponds are stocked with fish by Indiana DNR. There is a bathroom facility, though it's not always available. The park is located in a residential area and is utilized fairly well. When I worked for a youth mentoring agency, we would often meet some of our youths in this park. There's a decent shelter with picnic tables and a nicely done, short walking trail that I consider wheelchair friendly. DuBarry now has 3 pickleball courts, though there are no nets or backstops (there are posts for a net - which means if you have the net you could easily use it here). In 2024, a funding for a new splash pad was noted. DuBarry has seen sporadic issues with violence - most noteworthy a double killing of two teenagers in 2022 - Isaiah Jackson and Da'vonta White (ages 15, 14). While I think that's worth mentioning, I've never felt unsafe in the area and I have multiple friends who regularly visit and use the trail at this park without any concerns.

They have a small picnic shelter with some picnic tables under it. There is also a small bathroom facility that was locked when I was there. You will find 2 very nice full basketball courts. The rims are lower than regulation, which I am cool with and the court is nice and smooth. The park also has a huge field with uprights on both ends, so you can host football games, soccer games, play catch, work out, fly a kit or do other field activities. There are also a few other pockets of green space around the park to do activities as well. There is decent paved walkways around the park hat can be used for jogging or walking. The park also features a small lake. That was very popular with neighborhood fishermen. The park is somewhat well maintained but there is pockets of areas that are trashed. The parking lot had a lot of burned candles and disposed food containers. There is also an excessive amount of goose poop all over the park and especially under the covered shelter and on the paved walkway. There are 4 decent small tennis courts there and they would be very nice if they had nets. There are benches behind the courts and on the basketball court's baseline. The highlight of the park has to be its playground. It has two colorful large jungle gyms with slides and rock climbing walls. There is also a unity teeter tunnel see-saw, a bank of traditional swings, some little kid cars, a ski like thing, a mulitspinner carousel, a forest giraffe and stand & spin. The play area is lined with wood chips and the equipment is in good repair. This park has recently been in the news and has had its safety called into question. The candles in the parking lot, are from what I am assuming was the vigil held there. But that was 2 months ago. Anyway, I felt pretty safe while I was there, but I was not there long. This is a nice park. I think the issue that it had in March is an outlier. Outside of people fishing, I was the only one at the park. I had it all to myself. If you can get past the security issues, it is a nice park and definitely worth a visit.

Cheeney Creek was moderately busy during a weekend visit. I ran into a few folks here or there and some bikers, but that's about it. Afterwards you can take a short walk or drive to 116th street for some refreshments.

We originally…read morevisited because we wanted to check out the playground, but we soon discovered that this park has a beautiful nature trail that winds along the back of the park. The Geist Reservoir runs through the park, and when we visited, we saw people kayaking along the river. We had fun just throwing rocks into the water. Be advised that there are signs all around the park near the river that say that you shouldn't swim in the water because there is a strong undercurrent. So no swimming! The playground has a really neat play structure with lots of ropes, ramps and things to climb. My kids had a lot of fun here -- it's set up almost like an obstacle course. There are also slides, swings (including a swing for really young children), riding toys and tunnels. The ground is covered with wood chips, so it's nice and soft in case your kiddo falls. There are also benches all around so you can sit and see your kid play from whatever angle you happen to be in. There are restrooms just off of the playground, and they were relatively clean when we were there. Parking is plentiful and right by the playground.

I was out and about today in Hamilton County and decided to drive around for a bit. I sort of…read morestumbled across Hamilton Proper Park, a 19-acre Fishers park located on the southeast intersection of Hoosier Road and 116th Street and accessed from Hoosier Road. This 19-acre park is primarily used as a spot for youth soccer games and it is open all season long. It has a small parking area and water within the vicinity. When I returned home from checking out the park, much of my immediate fact-finding revealed how much the park is prone to flooding during heavy rains. The parking lot is gravel and not particularly wheelchair friendly, though not too bad. The multi-use fields are also used for Lacrosse and could easily be used for other activities. There's really not a whole lot else to do here. The 116th and Hoosier Road area is primarily a residential area that is not too far from some business spots. There's no playground to be found here and not any other facilities. So, unless you're coming here for sporting activities you're likely going to be disappointed as there's not much else the park has to offer. In terms of the Hamilton County scale for public parks, this is probably toward the low end. Certainly, it's vastly superior to most of Indy's lower-end parks because at least it's well-maintained and works fine for its purpose. I think proof of how under-utilized the park is would just be the fact that it's a rare Hamilton County park to not already have a Yelp review. That's amazing to me!
