😐 It seems it's mostly just a pass through for the Fall Creek pathway, but it has some poorly maintained offshoot trails that are a nice hike. It's also very loud due to proximity to 465, so it's not a good place for tree therapy. People often mention trails, nice, walk, park, paved,

Absolutely beautiful! An unexpected landscape in the middle of Indiana. Great place to walk your dogs, just don't let them off leash.

Love this place. Close to home and well kept. Disappointed in the folks that feel its their dump. We always take a bag along for trash and saddened to report its always filled.

Very nice park, small and free. You'll see deers very close, last park my dog visited before surgery, he never fully recovered so I'm glad we took him there and enjoyed it.

It was a small but lovely place for a walk/hike. I would recommend getting off the paved path and exploring the other trails. I gave four stars instead of five because the constant and unrelenting highway noise.

Paved. great place to walk a dog or take a short bike ride. You can hear the traffic here but can't see it. Slight incline. Beautiful foliage in the fall!

Small beautiful and relaxing. It does have a small parking lot, so that is the only downside. On a nice day, it can be hard to find parking. There are also no bathrooms, so if you need one, you have to leave the park.

Good place for a short hike. Free parking. Rarely will you see people on the trails. You can hear the roar of the interstate though the park. Leave the paved trail at the first sign and seating area for a nice trial though the woods.

Nice small paved trail with some through the woods trails. Good for a hike. Not great for mountain biking

Alright at best, The bike path and boat launch are the best parts.

Somewhat noisy at first close to a busy road. But nice when you get away from the road

A Nice Place To Enjoy This Park For Sure. The Weather Has Been Cold and Happy And Am Hoping To See Warmer Days. A Great Place And a Lovely Building To See The Foliage and Skiles Test. Very Fine and Clean Places.

This was a nice gem, I found by accident. Haven't been in Indy long enough to explore.

Nice little park. Big hill to walk up for extra exercise! Had some Pokemon go gyms and PokeStops as well.

Not to many people. Dirt and paved trails. They are currently adding or redoing paved trails, I'm not really sure.
