Hadley served as a town trustee from 1947 to 1954 and was selected as one of Westfield's Citizens of the Century at the Sesquicentennial Celebration in 1984. The park is less than two-tenths of an acre, but is in very good shape. You can tell that the city maintains it. It is pretty simple and is basically a place of relaxation and reflection. There are not amenities here. It is pretty basic and consists of brick paved walkways, some benches, a few planters/gardens, and a nice Pergola with a bench under it. If you look, you will also see a bronze plaque explaining the city's significance as part of the underground railroad. It is a nice park. Very well maintained. It is small and simple. There is free street parking nearby and there is a lot across the street that you can park in as well. This is not a destination park, but a decent stop if you are in the area with time to pass.

There's a football field with small bleachers and a variety of different plants, flowers and pathways to appeal to senses of all abilities. And I was so impressed with the set up.

There was limited foliage with the time being December nevertheless it was a breath of fresh air getting out!

There is a 2.25mile paved trail that wraps around a lake that offers visitors glimpses of giant herons and flocks of ducks and geese. I heard owls hooting in the trees and I swear I saw a bald eagle swoop overhead. I've heard there are also tons of songbirds that make this area home. There are several play areas for the littles and picnic tables and benches for us older folk. If you are nearby or just looking for a different place for a social distance hike I recommend you check it out!

Canan Commons Park is located in downtown Muncie practically across the street from Courtyard by…read moreMarriott and Horizon Convention Center. Established as part of the Muncie park system in 2010, Canan Commons includes a stage for performances, open space for gathering and informal recreation, and lighting that includes solar panels and wind turbines. Canan Commons is a community gathering space that hosts movies, music, the biannual Arts Walk, Muncie's community Christmas Tree, and the city's New Year's eve ball drop. There's free street parking to the east and west of the park. There's a garage next to Courtyard, however, it's only free for guests. Canan Commons is a fairly simple park. It's mostly a green space, though it has hosted some cool concerts including Pokey Lafarge and the Muncie Three Trails Music Series. The park is named after former Muncie Mayor Dan Canan, a popular three-term mayor whose family has long contributed to the community. Easily within walking distance from the Courtyard, Canan Commons also offers easy access to downtown Muncie restaurants and shops. While it's not really an upper-tier park for me, it's an enjoyable place that I visit during nearly every visit I make to Muncie.

The jungle gym claims to be a smart structure featuring integration with a smart phone or tablet that brings fairy tales to life by scanning a QR code located on the structure. To be honest, I do not see that feature getting a lot of use, outside of the curious. The park has a bench that overlooks the play area and a picnic table that offers a scenic view of a man made pond and the main road. This park does not have a designated parking lot, but I do not think it was designed as a destination park anyway. You can park along the street in front of the park, across the street from the houses though, without any issues. The park is located off of the Cheeney Creek trail and has a small paved circular path around its perimeter that is intended for kids on the tricycles or big wheels, hence the nickname "Big Wheel Park". This park is geared towards people from the neighborhood visiting it. It does not have a lot to offer and my little guy wanted to leave after about 15 minutes, saying that he was bored and wanted to go home. I will give the park 3 stars for effort, but I would probably skip this park and find one with more to offer and do.

This would be an excellent example of a "pocket park" -- a small playground that's tucked into the…read moreneighborhood. This tiny pocket of a park packs a punch, though, as it has a paved "road" for kids to ride bikes, trikes and big wheels on. It's awesome! It even has a "fueling station" where kids can get "gas." (OK, I'll stop with the quotation marks now; I'm sure you get it.) Part of the bicycle road is lumpy and bumpy, which looks like it would be really fun to ride on. The playground itself is really small and consists of one play structure with a climbing wall, slide and pole. There's space underneath for children to hide under and/or have secret club meetings. Then there are two rocking rides. A Little Free Library sits just off of the playground, and last time I checked it, it contained some of the best children's books I've ever seen in a Little Free Library! I mean, we're talking like Eric Carle and those touch-and-feel books. Whoever is donating here is very generous!

Interestingly enough, they have a skate park here, which I thought was neat. The playground is also nice, but a bunch of the slides are made of metal. The walking trails are also quite nice as well. The main reason that I come here for is the disc golf course. Although I've only done two courses, that being this and the one at Cumberland Park at the time of writing, so I still haven't been to many courses. The front 9 are really nice, as 4 holes wrap around a lake, and 3 are in a wooded area. The back 9 are in a mostly open area, and there's a creek that runs alongside a couple holes. The landscaping in that part of the course could use some attention. However, it's still a nice park to visit. Also, the lake and creek can 'eat' your disc if you aren't aware.

For a town of 1,600 people, Daleville's Town Hall Park is way more awesome than I could have ever…read moreimagined! The families in this cute town are super lucky to have such a great park with an amazing and large playground, a fantastic splash pad, a snack bar that sells snow cones in the summer, a train to play on, an amphitheater, a dog park, and even a cemetery! (Although, I wouldn't add the cemetery to the list of "lucky" attributes -- I just think it's interesting that there is a cemetery and a quiet space away from the playground at which to sit and reflect.) My children and I have been to a lot of playgrounds -- a lot. This is probably one of the best playgrounds I've seen in a while, and certainly the best playground in the area. It's so large that I was having a hard time taking a good photo of the whole thing. It's just so massive and sprawling. The playground is separated into an area for young kids under 5, and then an area for older kids. The toddler/younger kid area has pint-sized playground equipment, swings, a huge cement slide, a merry-go-round, a teeter totter and lots of space to run around. The older kid area is the perfect place to play hide and seek. There is just so many nooks and hiding places in the gigantic playground structure. There are bridges, ropes to climb, slides, stairs, rocks -- I can't even describe it well. Just look at my photos and you'll see how great it is. The playgrounds are outfitted with Astroturf, so the ground is nice and soft. The splash pad, which was turned off for the season when we were there, looks like it would be lots of fun. We'll have to come back in the summer and check it out. The splash pad is right next to the snack bar, which sells typical snack bar food (hot dogs, Uncrustables, nachos) as well as snow cones with dozens syrup flavors. There are tables all around the splash pad, so you can pick a table and see your kid play in the water. And best of all: There are big umbrellas around the splash pad, so there's shade! Off to the side is a big shaded atrium with picnic tables, and that's where the little train is. Kids can climb in and pretend they're train conductors and whatnot. As my kids were in the train, a real train came blasting by -- the park is close to the train tracks -- which lended a sense of realism to the whole thing. This park is a short three-minute walk to Dunn-Right, which sells great loose meat sandwiches, hot dogs and ice cream. You can really stay in this area of Daleville for hours.
