    Alexandria Community Park - This is what it is now; large gravel and strips of roofing? It's almost like walking in a dried up creek bed.

    Such a wonderful park. There is a little bit of something for everyone. Sports fields, playground,…read morewalking/hiking trails, picnic shelters, disc golf and lakes. Grounds are well kept. Fishing is a popular activity at this park. We did not catch anything. People around us (socially distanced,) had much better luck. Signs indicate restrictions on how much of each species of fish a person is allowed to keep. The other lake is more of a wetland area, and more of a walk from the parking lot. I'm not sure if fishing is allowed there. A paved walking path snakes around the lake, allowing for beautiful views your whole walk. The clouds picturesquely reflect off of the water. Mature trees keep walkers cool. Benches are available to enjoy the scenic views. Path itself is wide. It is an easy walk. I like that the playground and sports field are a bit separated. It keeps the lake a peaceful place. Parking for the two areas is a bit seperate as well. There are a series different terrain trails. These are paved, gravel and natural trails. I for one look forward to exploring this peach of a park more. Our visit barely scratched the surface of what Alexandria Community Park has to offer.

It was a hell of a way to start off my morning walk on an otherwise beautiful day. Oh, the usual litter was about and I picked some up, but it gets tiresome spending your walk picking up litter.

    I have such a great experience here always. This park truly has a little bit of everything, and…read moreit's one of those parks that is welcoming for all ages. One of my favorite parts was the nature center. The staff and naturalists were incredibly kind and helpful, and the space itself is really well done. There's a cute gift shop, educational displays, and even a small children's museum feel with a few live animals to see. It's a great spot to learn something new or play around. Outside, the park is incredible. The trails are extremely well maintained, both the wooded paths and the paved ones, making it perfect for an easy walk or a hike. There's also an outdoor fitness trail that I loved. It has different workout stations along the way, and it's actually really fun, not just functional. It's a great way for both kids and adults to be active. There's also a huge playground and a mini water park area for kids, plus accessible bathrooms and good seasonal amenities. It's very family friendly without feeling overcrowded. If you're into disc golf, this place is a gem. There's a large disc golf course, and they even sell discs and gear right inside the nature center. Another thing worth mentioning is how amazing Great Parks of Hamilton County is overall. They offer so many programs like beginner fishing, guided hikes, plant swaps, art workshops, amphibian hunts, and even owl pellet dissections. Not all of these are specific to this park, but many are hosted here, and it really adds to how special the experience is. Overall, this is an extremely pleasant place to spend time. Whether you're walking the trails, working out, bringing kids to play, or just exploring the nature center, there's something for everyone.

    Fun place for the kids! Only $6 something to get into the splash pad park and adults are free! Lots…read moreof sitting areas and you can buy food there. There's also a large playground next to the splash pad area. The reason why I took off the stars is if you have a smaller kid, the big slides are tough for them. Older kids will push and cut in line and they are aggressive. Some of their parents don't even watch them so it gets chaotic. There is a section for little kids but there's not much in there. The most fun for them is the big slides. Plan to get wet because you will! It can also get very crowded so be prepared.

    HIGHLY RECOMMEND READING IF YOUR CONSIDERING DOING ANY BUSINESS HERE!I have gone to Tippecanoe and…read moreKayaks Too twice. The first time I went was for my dad's 50th birthday with about an 11 person party. We arrive that day and the bus for our trip runs over an hour late to take us to the start point when they did there was a soccer tournament going on at the drop off point so we all had to drag our kayaks a good distance across multiple soccer field areas to start our trip. When we talked to the staff about our experience they told us the owner would reach out to us then he didn't and we called him asking him to give us a call then he still didn't. Hoping that was just a bad day for them I decided to try this place one more time with a smaller group of me, my boyfriend and my dog. During our trip our canoe flipped about .25 miles from end of the trip when my boyfriend moved to grab something out of the bag we brought. Once we flipped we tried flipping the canoe back over but their canoes don't have plugs to let the water held in the boat back out so the boat started to sink which we were holding onto to help us float in heavy current water that was about 15 ft deep. We were saved by people who don't work for the company who were fishing off to the side after about 8 minutes of us floating down the river. They thankfully had kayaks to come save us and our dog. After we were recused they attempted calling tippecanoe multiple times with no answer so they kayaked to the end to finally get a worker to help rescue us. As the staff got us to the landing area they were immediately only concerned about their money. Absolutely not their traumatized customers who lost all their personal belongings and almost so much more than that. I highly recommend if you care for your safety to not do business here as they have zero staff along the river to ensure you don't drown in the very possible situation like Green Acres and many other local Kayaking places do. Attached are photos of their email response to my trip (also asked them to call me and only got an email saying this) and my response back to that email. I have never left a review I had to make an account to even do this but after my experience with this company I would hate for anyone to experience a similar situation or worse one because of the neglect and unawareness of this company.

    Staff was very friendly and helpful. The 5-mile was a lot of fun. Nice e kayaks as well.read more
