The biggest draw of this park is its landscape, which ranges from flood plains to prairies. As visitors roam through the park, they'll encounter bluebirds, orioles and Canada geese. The 1.5-mile Creekside Trail gives access to Buck Creek. In the spring and summer, visitors may immerse themselves in the beauty of the wildflowers that bloom throughout the park. For little ones, there are two playgrounds. The smaller playground includes a jungle gym with slides and monkey bar rings. The much larger playground is where the excitement begins. From swings to climbing nets and several towers that include slides, kids are free to go where their imagination takes them. Every year in August, the park hosts Bug Fest, which celebrates the importance of bugs and insects in Indiana. There, residents learn more about the little critters they share a home with.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
