    Very clean, well-maintained park. Great amount of space, 4 shelters with grills and individual bathrooms at 3 of those 4. Horseshoe, tennis, basketball, sand volleyball, volleyball courts. They have a walk and read to keep kids interested in being more proactive, a book exchange box and a small food trade box. Huge lake for fishing, trails, even woods with a beautiful creek. We love this park. They also are monitored by local police which is nice also.

    Well, if you're in southern Indiana there isn't to much to see, however this little park is great! Nice wildlife, TONS of geese and ducks. The park offers nice fields for various sports, tennis courts, well kept playgrounds, and a 1.2 mile loop around a very nice pound. The water is surprisingly clean considering it's a pound in Indiana.

    Very nice place to have a picnic with the family. Only 2 of the shelters have a grill 1 and 4. Play ground for the little ones is lots of fun.

    This park has activities for kids and adults alike. Tennis courts, soccer field, basketball courts, walking trails, and of course fishing in the beautiful lake!

    I remember the good ol days. Playing here as a child. Still overall a great place for the family. Get people together under the shelters and let the kids play. There are public grills at each shelter, multiple playgrounds, walking paths, and a nice big pond to enjoy.

    Community Park has a lake, a walking Track that goes around the lake, and multiple walking trails that go through the woods! The walking trails through the woods are easy. You don't have to be an experienced hiker for these trails. You can probably walk the trails in 20 minutes with no major obstacles. Community Park also has basketball courts, and Tennis Courts.

    Nice kid friendly mulch park with a playground, swingset, and walking trail. The swingset is inside a sandpit kids can play in and the walking trail surrounds a pond.

    Open park with nice views. Lot of geese, ducks and water foul. I would to see canopy over the playground so the sun won't beat down on it

    We love the park and walking the trail., or around the lake. Around the lake they put up metal stands and each one has a page to a story book. My nephew loves it. I enjoy that we get our stepscin and he is occupied with something to look forward to along the way!!

    This place could improve by adding the little toy vending stations you know the ones where you can get candy or tattos for a quarter? But instead of it being full of candy and cheap toys fill it with bird seed and duck food. A main feature of this park is that the children can feed the ducks and it would be a good way to earn the parks a wee bit of profit. That is if they don't get broken into.

    Pretty good size park. They have shelter rentals for $50 for 12 hrs. Has built in Bar b Que at each. Lots of people exercising, playing tennis, basketball etc. Looks clean but I feel there are not enough trees in the center. All the trees on on the outskirts of the park.They have clean restrooms 🚻 and seems like a decent place to have a gathering. Only thing that kills it for me is it's not visually appealing. Too plain, too open.

😐 I liked the challenging features of the playset but wasn't conducive for a 2yr old to navigate easily. There were no regular steps for younger children to go through independently.
