And also, I hadn't purchased a park pass and didn't want to stay long enough that they might notice. The park and the riverwalk are lovely. The view of the lake is amazing. Well worth the visit. If you're planning on buying an annual park pass, it's even better. [Review 20619 overall - 150 in Indiana - 1600 of 2023.]

The statue depicts Orville sitting on a park bench when you can sit next to him. The park is small but it's located in the heart of downtown Valparaiso.

You can also come up for the Farmer's Market in the summertime. Lots of venders from the area selling. Parking is ridiculous, especially when they end up blocking off streets. Our family rarely visits here for a variety of reasons, but we have been there volunteering and for a couple events. This area seems to be the one area of town they concentrate on when it comes to improvement. Enjoy it!

I kid you not the life guard was watching him as well and all he did was jump in the deep end of the pool, he was coming up for air and they blew their whistle and jumped in to, again, "save" him when he didn't need saving at all. They put him in unwanted distress and embarrassed him, made him cry because he was coming up for air. Thankfully there were other lifeguards around who understood the situation and assured us nothing was wrong but what happened was just ridiculous.

There are the beaches, or sand dunes, marsh areas, and a prairie trail. There are even historical buildings. Some of the slopes are steep, so be careful.

We immediate made plans to drive up from Central Indiana the next time we came to see family. This past week was the first chance we got, and we jumped at the opportunity. A welcome surprise was finding out that the National Park was FREE. Wow! Free is a pretty rare thing these days. (The nearby state park has a fee, if you decide to go there, but not the National Park). We enjoyed the Houses of Tomorrow, explored the beachfront, and even dipped our feet in the cold water. My only regret is that I wish we could have stayed longer. Next visit, we will probably spend more time at the sand dunes themselves.
