    Children's play area is interactive. Chimes, bingo drums, rocking animals, slides, climbing, and a parent's bench. New picnic area is covered with lots of tables for family and friends.

    Nice course, fairly longer holes with enough trees to require some finesse. Tee markers and directions to baskets and next tees could use some work. Somewhat challenging and enjoyable.

    I visit Murdock Park once or twice a week to run a round of disc golf. It's a beautiful little park. It's popular enough that I always see at least one other person in the park while I am there. The disc golf course has seen a few changes over the years and I find it to be delightful for an amateur.

    Wish I could have been there for the winter but I moved to New Orleans and I never enjoyed snow unless I was playing in it

    Great frisbee golf course and in the winter the sledding hill is awesome. They also just put in a new playground.

    Our grandkids love this park. The jungle gym is huge, and it’s like 2 parks in 1 being as it’s only about a 150 yard walk from the playground at the grade school!

    A nice little park. Could use some regular swings and another bench in the play area. My grandson loves going there.

    Gr8 shaded disc golf course with moderate inclines.

    Great time outdoors. Great for sledding in the winter time, riding bikes in the spring and summer or going for a jog. If you like frisbee golf they also offer that. There also happens to be a few areas that can be reserved for gatherings. This park also offers a basketball court and indoor restroom.

    This is the best compact disc golf course I've ever played. Usually compact disc golf courses are all on top of each other and confusing, but this one was really nice. Currently hole 2 is slightly confusing but only because of construction that doesn't effect any other part of the course. The first half is a good warm up, but the back 9 is really great hole designs for being dead center of town. Well maintained, tee pads vary, some concrete some are turf and a few are a black padding, one was brick.

    Can only speak to the disc golf course, but it's pretty nice. Play there anytime I am in town.

    I played the disc golf course at Murdock park a couple of days ago, the course is not real easy to navigate and online maps didn't seem to be much better for first timers, after figuring out the layout it was a a fun course to play with two sets of tees or platforms per hole, orange was the long tee off and white was the shorter tee off, a lot if out of bounds and thick brush that can swallow up discs and a lot of trees to navigate not an easy course for beginners from either orange or white platforms and as I was playing I ran across a pro disc golfer from Sweden that was here in Indiana for the indy 500 and got some insight to the popularity of disc golf world wide and thought Murdock park was as challenging as he had played.

    It is a very good disc golf place and park in genral.

  • 5/5 Anthony A. 2 years ago on Google
    Its a park not visited by many and not very crowded. Nice little park to go to with the family and friends to let the little ones work out their energy from a long day...

    Park was clean, nice place to just sit and let the kids explore and play. Always clean and quiet

    The park is pretty nice, the disc golf courses are set up a little strange but it's still enjoyable.

  • 4/5 Thomas Brackett I. 2 years ago on Google
    Great place to play disc golf or basketball. There's been a bit of construction recently and sometimes people sleeping in the woods. I've found a needle on the ground there before but what can you do.

  • 5/5 Jared J. 6 years ago on Google
    Very nice park. Well kept, lots of benches and a scenic trail. Places to cook out with friends and family and a place for the kids. There's frisbee golf and a baseball diamond. In the winter, there is a great sledding hill. Come on down and see for yourself.

  • 5/5 Jeff D. 1 year ago on Google
    Nice park with public restrooms and plenty of shelters with picnic tables. Very nice 18 hole mostly wooded disc golf course and a full size basketball court. Nice walking paths with rolling hills and elevation changes. Challenging bike paths in the north wooded section. There is a sledding hill for the winter months.

    I went to the park to play Frisbee Golf with a friend. The course has been expanded to 18 pins and is very challenging. The back nine are interesting holes to attempt to throw. Some of the holes on the back nine (the newest holes) are difficult to see and figure out where they go. It was a good time all around.
