    Very nice play ground, well maintained. It's also only a seven minute drive from the nearby hospital. It has a good amount of benches and picnic tables, and the park is gated all around, except for the entrance. There are two larger grassy areas that are great for kids to play, and it is nicely shaded by the surrounding trees.

    It's a wonderful little neighborhood park- swings and other play equipment for the kiddies, some benches sprinkled throughout and a small sheltered area in the corner that even has a bathroom--I believe you need to have the key for that. It's owned and maintained by the wonderful Herron-Morton Place Foundation and is the host to a now annual Oktoberfest. It's beautifully maintained and well loved by the neighbors and neighborhood. Rarely a time there aren't kids in here playing. The nearby neighbors are also wonderful stewards, keeping watchful eye over the park! Want to support it? You can buy a brick and have your name added to the lovely walkways!

    Sweet little park, probably a little small once the kid hits about 10-11, but not every park has to be huge and cater to all kids. It's nice that there is a sidewalk around the perimeter that kids can ride their trikes and such on. Some neighborhood events are held here; Oktoberfest, a meetup Halloween night, and so on. I've never been, but I'm glad to know it's there and I could walk over in the future. Extra points for being the historical site of the Confederate prison camp, at least to this high school history teacher. Long before Indiana became KKK central all the way up to governor's house, we sent the second highest number of recruits in the nation (in proportion to the total state population). Most states recruited out of state; not Indiana, so all those thousands were Hoosiers. Of the over 4,000 who answered Lincoln's initial call for volunteers (by the end, there would be almost 200K Hoosiers who served), most enlisted 3 years even though other terms we're available, from as little as 30/60/100 days, to 3/6/9 months, 1 year, then 3. Even immigrants to Indiana, not born on that soil, served in higher numbers than Northern immigrants overall. And, your kids will like the twisty slide. Ha!

    So fun on a warm spring morning!!! Clean and in good repair, nice fences and friendly people walking dogs through. Not busy so we had the whole playground to ourselves!

    Great little park with mulched playground equipment designed for 4-12 year olds. Playground area has a curb so not stroller or wheelchair accessible. Picnic tables x 3. Plenty of shade throughout the day. Reservable 1 sided shelter perfect for birthday party for 10-25 people. Pet waste bags provided as are trash cans and bike rack.

    Great place for kids to have fun and it’s small enough to keep track of them lol

    Lovely park in a safe neighborhood. It's well landscaped, has lots of seating, and the layout of sidewalks running through it make it perfect for kids to race around on scooters :))

  • 4/5 Mark P. 1 year ago on Google
    Slides. Swings. A sort of jungle gym. Kids' riding rocking animals on heavy springs. Benches. During the ACW, this area was used as a POW camp for Confederate soldiers.
