Parking is limited to the street next to the park. Although there are mature shade trees, there aren't many places for adults to sit while watching their children play. Some of the playground equipment is showing a lot of weathering as well. It looked safe, but could use some attention to clean it up. Review #2977

The park is spread out with basketball and baseball fields (modestly developed) on the north end with the playground and shelter in the middle to southern end. There is also undeveloped lawn in between the equipment and to the southern end. There is a limited amount of pull in parking on each end and some street parking along the length as well. Nothing special here, just an average park, good for the neighborhood, but not worth a special trip to visit. Review #2964

There is also a baseball field, basketball court, volleyball, and tennis courts. On the east side is a fitness station with several pieces of equipment as well. On the south end is a park for smaller kids. Parking was along the street for access to most of the park. Nice place to visit with plenty of space, shade trees, and shelters for organizing your events. Review #2983

A great park. It happens to have a fantastic setting right along the river in downtown Vincennes…read more There was fog the day we arrived, and it was gorgeous to see it rising above the river and drifting along the grass area near the memorial. There is a small visitor's center available with a small exhibit and gift shop. Unfortunately, their speakers had broken, so we were unable to watch their park film, "Long Knives," onsite, though the friendly staff did advise that it was available online so we were able to watch it at home. The memorial itself is huge and located within an easy walk from the visitor's center. It does, however, require climbing a number of steps to enter, plus you'll want to check with the desk if it is open. They may be able to open it for you, if it's not already. If you opt to go inside, you can view a variety of large murals that detail how Clark's victory made the Northwest Territory possible. It was fascinating to see how the history intersects with other National Park/state historic sites we've been to - George Rogers Clark is the brother of William Clark of Lewis and Clark fame, and this Clark called a big meeting with Native tribes at Cahokia. There is also a large statue of Clark in the center of the space. There is a parking lot available onsite, plus nearby street parking, and it's easy to stroll right over to downtown Vincennes and explore the town, as well.

When you go over to see the monument you have to climb a lot of steps and there is NO handicap access. We didn't know that if you want to go inside the monument you have to tell the Ranger so he/she can go and open it up for you. So when we got to the door of the monument it was locked. I looked up the number of the Ranger, called it and the got someone to come and unlock the door. The inside is awesome with a beautiful statue of Clark in the middle of stunning murals all around the wall. This is a must see if you are near Vincennes. Just remember to let the Ranger know you want to see the inside of the monument.

Hillcrest is a nice neighborhood park with lots of mature trees providing shade. The main features…read moreare the disc gold course and the dog park on the high ground. There is also a playground in the middle of the lawn area with a couple other pieces (swings and a slide) scattered around the park. There is a common parking lot in the middle and a small shelter area, but it didn't look big enough to host a large gathering. The dog park was fenced and okay, but looked like it was repurposed. There was a shelter inside the fenced area, but it didn't have a lot of activities/challenges for the dogs other than to just run around. (No training type equipment/obstacles.) The park is fine for the neighborhood to enjoy some fresh air and take small kids or pets. Otherwise, there are more parks to choose from in Vincennes. Review #2981
