Join the river in meandering through the variety of experiences at Central Park! Whether arriving…read moreon foot, bike, or auto, spend a while enjoying this newly renovated downtown Mishawaka gem. Stroll through taking in the sculpture scenery on your way to the giant riverside trees. Marvel at the mini stone house overlooking the stone waterway. Sidestep the suspicious waterfowl and ducklings, dancing around their "sidewalk decorations". Plenty of running paths will keep you busy for at least a 5K. Varying scenery will keep the boredom at bay. Play a little tennis or basketball on the park's outdoor courts. Parking is easy onsite, and more street parking all around the 13 acres. Those who live near downtown can head over with a quick stroll; the rest of us will find easy access like I will on my return visit.

If you know me, then you also know that I'm an avid trail user in Indiana and one of my very…read morefavorite trails in our state is Elkhart County's Pumpkinvine Trail, a trail that is adjacent to this lovely park in Goshen, Indiana. Abshire Park is the second largest park in Goshen. The land was donated to the Parks and Recreation Department in 1986 and encompasses about 75.5 acres. Abshire Park was developed to accommodate primarily passive and interpretive programs along with passive recreational opportunities. It is accessible from the Pumpkinvine Trail. The north end of the park is a managed natural area and includes a prairie restoration, wet lands, and a traditional forest. Rock Run Creek borders the park to the southwest. Abshire Cabin is located at the park - a rentable enclosed pavilion. While most restroom facilities in Goshen are April-October, Abshire Cabin has available restrooms year-round. Abshire Cabin is noted as having an official capacity of 30 people. Rental is $200 (plus tax) with a $100 deposit. It is largely accessible and ideal for small socials or professional meetings, kitchen area, tables and chairs, access to tubing hill, cross country skiing and more. Not for profit rates available Monday - Thursday with copy of non-profit certificate. As noted, this is a fairly laid back park without a lot of hardcore amenities. While it's a well used park, the times I've been here I certainly wouldn't call it a busy park. I've nearly always used it as a rest place during my Pumpkinvine trail use. If you've never experienced the Maple City Greenway trails, I highly recommend them. If you go on the Pumpkinvine, there's a good chance you're also going to experience wildlife, amazing plant life, and probably some of the area's Amish community.
