    The Loeb renovation is just outstanding. I'd only seen pictures of old Loeb but the new is a…read moremodern, turf fields, beautiful sight lines, and seamlessly integrated with other attractions in Lafayette. What a gem of a park that will serve the area for decades to come. The Lafayette Aviators (essentially a college summer league) play their games here. The majority of players (I would estimate) are division 1 or 2, trending toward 2. But the baseball is good, these are players who know how to play. It is functionally identical to Kokomo Municipal (which I have also been too). Again there simply is everything to love about this stadium if you are a baseball fan and a perfect way to spend an evening watching summer baseball. Parking is a bit tricky in the area if you have never been FYI. It felt (?) like parking was limited to lining the nearby residential streets, perhaps I missed something larger.

    Never again! We have…read morebeen going to Lafayette Aviators games since the beginning!!! Tonight they messed up our handicapped tickets, which left me with no seat. My husband is in a wheelchair, so he had a seat. I had nothing! They offered me a plastic folding chair but it hurts my back. I have plantar fasciatis so I can't stand on cement. The staff who had originally seated us in the wrong seats were rude when they moved us. They did offer seats in different sections. I spent over $100 there tonight but NEVER AGAIN!

    Best softball fields in town. Pretty much the only softball fields in town…read more Best concession stand at the only softball fields in town. Best softball umpires in town, supporting pretty much the only softball leagues in town. Very nice people playing softball. Horrible terrible softball people. People I want on my team. People I want to hurt really bad. If you sign up for softball, make sure you fill out your roster, otherwise you will get too many emails from the league guy telling you to fill out your roster. No drinking. People bring dogs. There is a covered place for kids to play, so that foul balls don't brain your offspring. Field 5 has a hole behind 3rd base, you might roll your ankle heading there, if you take a wide turn to go home. Field 4 sucks at 7 pm if you are a left handed batter as the sun completely makes the ball disappear. Field 6 sucks at 7 pm if you are a pitcher, as the sun completely makes the ball disappear coming off the opponents bat (there is no shame in wearing face protection). It's dangerous. Field 7 plays ok almost all the time, the only issue might be a throw from 3rd to first. Across the street are the old fields. They are nice as well. Field 2 has the 7 pm batting issue, the rest are pretty good. Annoying people go there and play Frisbee golf. There is apparently also soccer fields. Around the 4th of July you can't tell if people are shooting off fireworks, or if there was a massive gun shootout in the local neighborhood. Both are equally likely. Do they have the fireworks back here now? Apparently not, it used to be here, but has moved to U of I. The roads leading into the park are pot holed and sometimes pretty horrible. There is the tribute to Olympic athletes, which is sort of an arch/doorway thingy. There is a community garden type thing, but I don't know how that works. This was one of the locations that people kind of wanted for the new/moving Champaign High School. It rains too much in this location.

    This park is 32 acres and has just about everything that you would want in a park. You will find a…read moreveterans memorial in the front of the park as well as a large battery (cannon). The park has a very nice paved walking trail, 2 picnic pavilions with picnic tables under it, a bathroom facility, three light baseball diamonds, a BMX trail, a tennis court, a basketball court, and a playground area. The basketball court is in decent shape. The tennis court, however, not so much. It almost looks abandoned. The paved walking trail is in good repair. It. The playground is good. It is lined with wood chips and has a couple of banks of regular swings, a large jungle gym with a small slide, a spiral slide, and monkey bars, a merry go round, see-saws, circular monkey bars, a bank of toddler swings, a slide, a hold and spin. There is a separate playground area for smaller children that is fenced in and has small jungle gym and animal rockers. Both areas has benches on the outskirts that parents can sit on and watch their littles play. The larger play area also has picnic tables placed along the grounds. The park is jointly owned by the town and township, whatever that means and is home to a 300-capacity community building that can be rented for special events. There is the Lilly Building, which is also available for rent and it hold 475 people. The park is well maintained is even though it is not as modern as the newer parks that are popping up, it still has a lot to offer. It is on the border of being a destination park. My littles and I enjoyed the park and had a great time. It was a nice day and we had the park all to ourselves, which was cool.

    The City of Burlington has a very nice park here. There's playgrounds for the kids, walking areas…read morefor adults, and ballfields for the ball teams. It's a great place to come have a picnic as well, with a few nice pavilions to pick from.

    Unless you are a skilled hiker, I recommend going to this beautiful nature preserve when the…read moreweather has been dry. There is about 90 feet of elevation change on the 0.8 mile loop that can be a bit slippery if you pick a time when mud/rain can be a problem. I only explored the north end trail during my visit. After parking in a shaded lot, I went into the park where I had a choice of left or right. The right side has a steeper descent than the left. Fortunately, there is a hand rail for stability. I figured it easier to go down the steep side than up, so I stayed on the right hand path. There is a fairly level area before you reach the "stairs". The stairs are mostly natural, so they aren't evenly spaced. Just keep focused and you should be alright. Once the trail reaches the bottom of the gorge, there are places where elevated paths keep your feet from trekking through the mud. Depending upon how much rain has fallen, you may get some mud, but my feet stayed dry the entire loop. At the base, there are deep ravines where the trees catch the sunlight and light up in brilliant yellow greens. The rocks are layered and take on a rusty color that can make for some great photos. The highlight of the loop is finding the "arch" through the ridge of rock. It was just a bit taller than my head (I would say most folks won't need to duck going through.) After that, you will start working your way back. Although I traveled the same distance up, it was gradual and not nearly as challenging as climbing steps. I didn't see much wildlife there, but there were squirrels and butterflies that showed themselves. I like a short hike that features a destination and great scenes along the way. If you like that too, then seek out this park. Review #2840
