The soccer fields were waiting for the nets to be placed in position before they could be used and the paved hiking trails were lightly traveled. Closer to the entrance, there is a shelter and two playgrounds: one fenced for tots to play in; another for bigger kids to swing, climb, and slide around. The park wasn't fancy or unique, but seemed a good fit for those who were there. I didn't see anything that would make it a destination for anyone outside the area, but still, a pretty good option for the local folks. Review #731

After eating a heavy lunch, a walk sounded perfect, so I ended up here. This park was exactly the…read morevibe I needed. The trail made for an easy breezy walk, and today's weather was perfect because it was not too hot and not too cold. The ambiance is super green and nature-filled with water and bridges, making it a peaceful spot to unwind and reset. There's convenient parking near the trail along with shelters that have grills and picnic tables, which would be great for a family cookout or chill afternoon outdoors. One thing I really liked was that parts of the trail have little off-path areas carved out so you can walk closer to the creek/water, which added to the relaxing nature vibe. I was able to walk through it, but since it's been raining, it was a little more muddy than I cared for. If you're looking for a simple but really enjoyable spot to get outside, clear your mind, and enjoy some fresh air, check this spot out.

I loved the comfy lounge chairs under big umbrellas. We were the only family in the park so, the kids had the splash pad to themselves. There are pickleball courts, a basketball court, baseball field and lots of open space to play. There are several climbing structures and some vintage playground equipment as well. The equipment is surrounded by mulch which was a little muddy from recent rains. The single pavilion is equipped with a grill and picnic tables. A restroom facility is near one of the two parking lots. There is plenty of parking, including accessible spots. Most of the park is accessible including the splash pads. The grounds are well maintained. I saw lots of wildlife during our visit. Are you wondering who was Abner Langley? He is claimed to be the first resident of Lebanon, Indiana. This is a great little park in a natural setting.

Klein played for the Philadelphia Phillies, Chicago Cubs, and Pittsburgh Pirates and led the National League in home runs four times, and won the NL Most Valuable Player Award in 1932. What you may not know is that there is a football field buried behind the softball fields, hence its real name, Chuck Klein Sports Complex. The football field needed a good mowing when I was there and the goal post are adequate. They will get the job done. I really like the patio area in the complex building that is up high and overlooks the fields. There are tables and chairs up there. At the front of the complex, near the entrance is a shelter with picnic tables. Next to the shelter is a horseshoe pit that has seen better days. In addition to that, there is some huge green space surrounding the shelter. You can do a lot of outdoor activities there. So, you do not need to actually be playing an organized sport to enjoy the park. This is a nice place to host a softball tournament or league. They have also hosted rugby, cricket and ultimate frisbee. I visited the park off season, and they were still working on the complex's maintenance. The staff here is awesome as well.

Bags of peanuts and cracker jacks were laid on the tables and a freezer held dippin' dots. Later we received coupons for soft serve ice cream. A section of seats was available to our group to watch the game; however, we could see from our VIP section. Overall the staff were friendly. They oversaw the coolers and bars, and we were regularly ID'ed.

His grandfather was being honored for his connection to the Negro Leagues, and he told us that his grandfather had even thrown out the first pitch at Victory Field a few years ago--while in a wheelchair. We couldn't pass up the opportunity to be there for such a special moment. We only had a short time before we needed to head to the concert, so we went in specifically to see the tribute and experience a little bit of the stadium. Even though we weren't there for an entire game, I'm really glad we got the chance to visit. Congrats Bill Owen's and family! One thing I loved was how much Victory Field embraces and honors the history of the team and the people who helped shape baseball. There was so much excitement and genuine support throughout the stadium, and it was really special to see the crowd come together to honor someone's family history. The location was also incredibly convenient for us. The stadium was directly across from our hotel, so it couldn't have been easier to get to. What started as a random encounter on our way to another event turned into a really meaningful experience. We were honored to be able to support this man and his grandfather, Bill Owen's, and witness a small but incredibly special piece of Victory Field's history. Sometimes the unexpected parts of a trip end up being the memories you remember the most.

Catch and release fishing is allowed in the pond and no fishing license is required. (Swimming is not allowed in the pond). The mulch covered paths and gardens along the pond are nicely maintained, though may be difficult for wheelchair access. The playground has multiple climbing structures, slides and play areas. The ground is covered in mulch. Covered seating is available. The playground is fenced so that kids don't wonder. A large covered pavilion near the parking lot with picnic tables offers seating. The pavilion is available on a first come basis, unless there is a church activity. A baseball diamond and soccer fields are also available on a first come basis. The land for the park was donated to the community by Parkside Bible Church, so it is not surprising that there is a Christian vibe throughout the park. The playground was built by local volunteers. The graveled parking lot holds dozens of cars. Portable potties are available at the park. The park is a great place to connect with nature, walk the dog or let the kids play.

We have another awesome park in Brownsburg!…read more This park has everything and more of what I'm looking for on a day out with my kids: a toddler section with age appropriate equipment for my small kids, musical equipment like a large xylophone and drums, swings, and a big playground for bigger kids. And! It is completely enclosed - which is perfect cause my two year old is a runner. I only got to enjoy the playground but, looking around, I noticed there is also a disc golf course, a walking trail, and a fishing pond. There was even a garden area a ways off from the playground - I made a mental note that it would be a perfect place to come for some time by myself, maybe with a book. Some nearby parks are too secluded so I don't feel comfortable going alone - but this garden looked close enough to the playground to make me feel not totally alone but far enough away for some quiet privacy. In short, I am definitely adding this to our park circulation.

What a gem of a park that will serve the area for decades to come. The Lafayette Aviators (essentially a college summer league) play their games here. The majority of players (I would estimate) are division 1 or 2, trending toward 2. But the baseball is good, these are players who know how to play. It is functionally identical to Kokomo Municipal (which I have also been too). Again there simply is everything to love about this stadium if you are a baseball fan and a perfect way to spend an evening watching summer baseball. Parking is a bit tricky in the area if you have never been FYI. It felt (?) like parking was limited to lining the nearby residential streets, perhaps I missed something larger.

It is a very well maintained park and is home to a small skate park with a ramp, steps and rails. There is also a decent sized playground that is lined with wood chips. Some of the playground's equipment includes a metal slide (oucchhh), a bank of worn traditional/toddler swings, a see-saw, a tunnel tube, a balance board, a climbing tree, and standing spinner. The equipment is older for the most part, but is still in pretty decent shape. You will also find a large black top near the back of the park that has a small shelter with a couple of picnic tables under it. The black top also has 2 half basketball courts. The black top is in fair condition. The park has a small black top area between the playground and the skate area that can be used to play hopscotch, four square or other blacktop games. The park has a few green space areas that could be used for pick up football games, soccer matches, or have a picnic. There are 3, decent baseball fields on the parks back perimeter. They appear to be used for the towns little league teams and not actually part of the park. I will admit, this is not a destination park, but is a cool place to visit if you are in the area looking for a place to hang out. It was a nice day during my visit and I found the park very peaceful (minus the kids at the nearby school yelling while they were playing at recess).

The park is jointly owned by the town and township, whatever that means and is home to a 300-capacity community building that can be rented for special events. There is the Lilly Building, which is also available for rent and it hold 475 people. The park is well maintained is even though it is not as modern as the newer parks that are popping up, it still has a lot to offer. It is on the border of being a destination park.
