Jameson Camp is a hidden gem located off of Bridgeport Road just north of West Washington Street…read more First I'd like to take a moment to tell you of the wonderful work Jameson Camp does and how your rental fees help with that mission. The Camp is a beautiful venue for events while the affordable rental fees help support the children and youth programs for at-risk youths. The Camp began in 1928 and you or your grandparents may be familiar with their history of serving ill children. Jameson Camps' focus is on children's social, behavioral and emotional challenges and equipping them for productive and responsible lives. Responding to an increasing concern for childhood obesity a Wellness Camp was launched in 2006, a creative program that utilizes camp to teach healthy choices in fitness and nutrition. Last, but certainly not least, is their Camp Tataya Mato for children affected by HIV/AIDS which is the only residential camp to these special children in Indiana. As you can see your rental fees support the outstanding work Jameson Camp does serving children with health needs in the Indianapolis area. In 2006 they replaced the original headquarter with a beautiful new center, lodge, health center and a nature and arts and crafts center. No only providing enhanced program facilities for the children, these buildings provide new opportunities to serve as a community partner and provide funding from the rental fees. This is a wonderful venue for events as small as a corporate business meeting to an elegant wedding. Several sizes of venues are available or even rent the entire camp for the ideal wedding or family reunion where your event along with family and friends are residing at one location. The Lodge and Cabins are so affordable compared to the cost of hotel rooms and transportation for your wedding guests, business associates or family traveling. The Lodge is its own large facility and sleeps 24 for $450. What a savings compared to a Hotel!! There are four meeting areas of various sizes and prices along with 6 cabins for lodging that accommodates 24 in each plus don't forget The Lodge. The Challenge Course is available to incorporate into your event with low and high ropes plus a climbing wall. Other amenities include a basketball court, swimming pool, open game fields and a campfire circle. The Jameson Center is picturesque with a majestic-pine-framed dining room with a striking two sided fireplace that accommodates 140 persons for dinner. If that's too large select the smaller dining room with fireplace and seats 30. The Jameson Center rental includes the use of their FULL commercial kitchen including the walk-in refrigerator and walk-in freezer. A Chefs' dream whether you use a preferred caterer or you personally prepare the meals. Vanessa, the Office Manager, was telling me of recent large wedding with a beautiful large tent adjacent to the Jameson Center where the guests stepped directly into the tent from the dining room. You can have your wedding and dinner inside and dancing outside. So many options here! Leadership training, Corporate Team Meeting, Weddings, Reunions, endless uses for this venue. Be sure to check out this scenic facility and grounds. Give Vanessa Fry a call for a tour or e-mail her at Vanessa@jamesoncamp.org for additional information.

Indy 11 has been on my list of things to do because I love attending sporting events in person!…read more Saturday night was the perfect night to attend! There is nothing like going to a sporting event with all the energy and excitement! Indy 11 fans did not disappoint! They love their team! Played music and cheered them on the whole game! Smoke bombs when team scored! I'm an animal lover so getting to meet their mascot in person was a plus! They walk around greeting fans and love the attention they get! They are well behaved so that makes them even more lovable! If you don't grab a bite to eat before the game, there are plenty of food trucks to choose from. I recommend seeing an Indy 11 game whether you like Soccer or not. It's a great way to spend the evening with friends and/or family.

Highly recommend! This was a great family day out! The game itself was well organized, and easy to…read moreaccess! Parking across the street, made it really convenient. The family enjoyed the crowd so much, made the game even more fun! It was nice to have some areas where you can stand and move around. All the food trucks were nice too, I enjoyed Ben's pretzels. It was a win to have decent food options at a stadium. The stadium staff was kind, and easy to talk with, very helpful! The players were made the game, talented and kept everyone engaged! Super fun evening! Go Indy Eleven!

You will find this complex down the street from Beckenholdt Park, behind a Greenfield storage…read morefacility. This is the home of the Midwest Baseball and Softball teams. It has 5 baseball/softball fields that are in dire need of some TLC. The dugouts are full of trash and a couple of the roofs are collapsing. They have a concession stand and restroom facility that are operated during events. There is also bullpens and batting cages on the complex. One of the ball fields has I-70 in the background, which some could consider cool while other totally hate it. I think it is kind of cool. What sets this place apart from many baseball complexes is that it has a 13,500 square foot indoor facility that can be used for training during inclement weather or the cold season. The indoor facility has a pro shop, team meeting rooms, batting tunnels, bullpens, and a 8,000 square foot fielding area. It looks impressive. You can check out some videos of it on their Facebook page. In addition to practices and tournaments the facility plays host to hitting, fielding, catching and/or baseball softball pitching instruction. There is a decent amount of places to park, but they are not marked and they could really fill up very quickly during a tournament and become hard to come by. This complex has a lot of potential and could really be a first class facility. It needs quite a few repairs and upgrades to get to that point though. As it is now, it is an OK location to host a tournament and is much better suited for training and practice. They work with all ages year round and get the kids ready for the next level.

Very nice indoor pickleball courts. Staff is always friendly, helpful and courteous.read more

Every time a member in our party pays with cash, a call comes about a month later telling them they never paid and owe $. EVERY SINGLE TIME. They ask if they have a receipt- who has a receipt a month after playing tennis/pickle ball? After the third person in our party got accused of not paying, (3 separate occasions) we all use, and tell others to ONLY use their credit card to pay.

I was under the impression that the Skip + Alex Lange Innovation Center was for Boy Scouts and Girl…read moreScouts only, but no, it's open to the public! On Saturdays, day passes are available to the public, which are $20 and allow you in-and-out access all day. This center is located on the grounds of Camp Belzer, tucked near Ft. Harrison State Park in Lawrence. You'll find lots of fun, family-friendly activities for all ages, including a ropes course, rock climbing and bouldering walls, indoor archery, a makerspace, robotics and technology, and lots more. The ropes course (SkyTrail Air Adventure Course) has 10 different obstacles all connected and suspended 9 feet in the air. Kids must be at least 42 inches tall to go on the course with an adult, and 48 inches or taller to go on the course alone. The ropes course is only open on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays. Lange has two rock climbing walls. The main rock climbing wall features seven lanes for climbing, each lane with four paths to the top that increase in difficulty. The north tower rock wall, with three lanes and three options to get to the top, offers a view out into the camp from the windows. They also have a bouldering wall and bouldering cave. The bouldering cave allows kids to climb around and practice different rock climbing holds freely, but each climber must wear a helmet. Assistants stand by, ready to catch or help each kid. There's also a makerspace room, where kids can learn about and try out different technology, including robots and drones. Here, you can fly drones or make robots move on command using a tablet, make robots move along a path using special markers, and lots more. The room also includes space to try out 3D printing and laser-cutting, tinker with toys, and get hands on while learning about technology and science. Some of the activities change out weekly, and that includes some of the sports. When we visited, they had an indoor badminton court set up, but the week before, that area was designated for indoor archery. There was also a basketball shooting area, cornhole and velcro darts. Drop-ins are welcome at Lange Innovation Center, but the center can also be rented for groups, such as Scouts, clubs and schools. So, calling ahead and reserving a time is highly recommended.

This park has been overrun by a baseball complex that is home to the Oaklandon Youth Organization…read more(OYO). It is a nice park and has two playgrounds, one on each side, some decent sized pockets of green space where you can have a football game, soccer match or fly a kite. They are mostly used for warm up areas where some of the young ball players are tossing the ball around. They have a decent sized parking lot, but when the ball teams are playing, parking gets kind of crazy and it is hard to find a spot. Even finding a spot in the grass was difficult for me. The playground areas are on a bed of wood chips and has a bank of swings and a large jungle gym with monkey bars, a couple of slides and more.It is in decent shape and is relatively new. I will admit, the areas are both kind of small and do not have much equipment, You will find a picnic shelter here with a couple of tables under it. It could use a few more.Also, during games, they have snack bars and restrooms available. The baseball portion of the park consists of 13 fields, 2 restroom/concession stands, and two batting cages. This is a nice facility and can host some big tournaments. in front of Fields 1 and 4 you will find the park's centerpiece, the Chosin Memorial, which consists of a path, a nice sculpture, and a group of flag poles representing the county and all the branches of service. This is a nice park, even though it is mainly for baseball/softball. It is in very good shape and well maintained. My little's did find the playground very entertaining and it was difficult for them to leave. The good part was that the playground that we were at was empty. We were the only ones there. The one of the other side was packed though.

They have a $50 beginner membership that comes with a paddle, 101 class and a learner league with 1 month of membership, if you're trying to start playing pickleball this place is a must try!

I checked out IPC for the first time a few weeks ago and was really impressed with the new…read morefacility. They offered me a free trial membership, which was very generous. While it's about a 25+ minute drive for me, the membership includes access to both locations, so I can also visit the east side, which is a little closer. The new facility is currently self-assessed, so you're free to jump in at the level you're most comfortable with. Self-assessment is going away 2/1. The only small downside is that the space between courts isn't separated by barriers, so balls can easily roll into other courts and interrupt games. I usually don't wait very long to jump into another game as they have their rotation system down. Their bathrooms are clean and I appreciate that they also have changing rooms. As a beginner-intermediate player, I really appreciate how friendly and supportive the community is. Almost everyone is helpful and gives me grace as I continue to improve.
