This park has got it all- baseball, basketball courts, picnic benches valor, shaded tree areas, swing sets, multiple kids plays apes, accessible picnic benches, bathrooms, you name it. I also appreciated how they have a covered community space with screened in windows that seems ideal for summer parties (minus the flies). Within a few steps of this park you'll find several shops and restaurants in downtown historic Zionsville including My Sugar Pie, The Salty Cowboy and Lemon Bar to make a few. We walked to the park so I didn't see what the parking situation was but I did notice that they are dog friendly. I can imagine this park is packed with activity during the warmer months. The park is open from dawn to dusk. Next door to the park you'll find a large green space with a paved trail that weaves its way along the river. read more

Was playing on the playground with my brothers and someone from the park came up and said that the park is only meant for "little kids" and we needed to leave... since when was that a thing. And my brothers a literally kids so what if I wanted to play on the playground with them. 0 stars if I could. Was there for like 5 mins read more

Lovely park with multiple areas for recreation. It's walkable to the Zionsville downtown area too. The walking path connects to Creekside Nature Park which has a nice quiet loop trail. read more

This park was established in 1940 and has everything you would want in a park. It is only 18 acres, but they packed a lot in the 18 acres. It is managed by the Zionsville Lions Club and looks like a park that keeps adding on. It has three playground areas. The playground area in the back of the park is the newest. It is geared towards younger kids and has a bank of swings, a small mock store and a small jungle gym with a tiny slide. It is lined with a rubbery surface and is mud free. The two up front are more traditional. One side you will find a small, but newer jungle gym with 2 slides, a larger jungle gym with 2 slides, 3 see-saws, a curved balance beams, a couple of sit and spins, a tire swing, a special needs and toddle swing, a dino-monkey bar set, and a pebble bridge. Across from this area is where you will find the third playground area which has a bank of traditional swings, an awesome saucer merry-go-round, a little house, a large jungle gym, and two see-saws. You will also see a little rocker animal and a small dino-monkey bar set over there too. Both of those playground areas are lined with wood chips and they have picnic tables placed along their perimeters. The park has 9 awesome baseball fields two lighted full basketball courts (different sizes though for some reason) and two lighted tennis courts and a pickle ball court. The courts are well maintained and look great. The park offers some scenic walking/jogging along its running trail and has a picturesque gazebo as its center piece. I saw one picnic shelter there, near the creek, that can be rented and a bathroom facility near the traditional playground areas. There is also a sand volleyball court along the creek by the shelter. The 1.1 mile Eagle Creek Walk runs through this park and the park has its own paved pathway that connects to it. The park has been known to host the city's EGGnormous Egg Hunt on the Saturday before Easter, the 4th of July Fireworks, the Sunday Concert Series in July, and the Pumpkins & Hayrides event. This park is actually one that you would drive to come to. It has a lot to offer and has something for everyone. Dogs are welcome, but have to remain on a leash. It is a gorgeous park with the gazebo, bridges and running along Eagle Creek. They have a large parking lot and every amenity that a park can have. This is definitely worth checking out. read more

For twenty five years I've been enjoying special events at Lions Park. The park is maintained by the local chapter of the Lions Club. The best event is the Fourth of July fireworks. The park fills early with families waiting to see the best fireworks in Boone County. I brought my kids when they were small. The park offers events throughout the year. Festivals, carnivals, softball and baseball leagues. There is a play ground with infrastructure that is updated regularly. There are 4 or 5 ball fields that fill up in the spring. There is a nice bridge and hiking trail on both sides of the park bordered by Little Eagle Creek. The trail is great for walking dogs or taking a stroll. There is a grand gazebo that features concerts in the fall. There are a couple sets of restrooms and a concession stand but they have never been open on my visits. In the winter the Boy Scouts sell Christmas trees in the parking lot. The trees are traditional favorites. There are basketball courts in the back. Also there is a covered picnic shelter that can be reserved and used for private parties. The park floods about once a year. It's kind of fun to watch the park flooded. They seem to handle water well. There is a parking lot which fills for special events early. read more

Lions Park - Parks Near Me - Zionsville, Indiana

A great park, right beside downtown Zionsville. Lots of ball fields and courts, open green areas and shady areas, places to sit and have a picnic, playgrounds, bathrooms, etc., etc. I wandered a bit on a weekday morning, and people were enjoying different activities but it wasn't crowded. I would love to have a park like this near my place, and I am glad the locals are using it well. If you're just visiting, it makes a nice break from the (not exactly stressful) walks and shopping in town. read more

Nice place to enjoy as long as you can find a place to park when the baseball diamonds are in use. The parking during this time is horrible, then the smart car/motorcycle parking space size and angles if you drive a more full size vehicle can irritate you. Especially when you have children toting around a baseball bat in their backpacks. read more

If you are in Zionsville be sure to stop by Lions Park to play. In the northwest corner there is a small, very shaded playground perfect for the under 5 crowd. It had opportunities for climbing, pretending and of course swinging. It is the perfect spot with little kids on a hot summer day because of the ample shade that is a rare find on a playground. One playground bridge was closed for repairs as of June 2019. Other equipment in this area was in working condition, though could use a little sprucing up. There is a large paved path that runs from this small playground to the larger ones, perfect for kids to ride a bike. Also next to the little playground are basketball courts if you have a large age range of kids and the older ones don't want to play on the little kid playground. The larger main playground is mostly in the sun but has shaded areas around the perimeter complete with benches and/or picnic tables for grown ups to sit. On the morning we were there a group of kids was using a wooden playhouse as a pretend ice cream shop. There were a few options for kids to spin, climb, slide and swing. Lots of picnic tables in the shade. Not sure on what the bathroom situation is as we didn't need them this time. There are several baseball fields in the park so I'm not sure how parking or crowd levels would be on a weekend, but for a weekday morning it was perfect. read more

AMAZING park! People with children can rejoice: There is so much to do and see here, your little ones won't be bored. I didn't venture much beyond the three (yes, three!) playgrounds, but there is a walking path and other sights to see. Lion's Park has all the playground equipment and jungle gym fun you expect from any park, but it also has a six-person merry-go-round, a four-person teeter totter, a climbing structure shaped like a dinosaur, and a lion water fountain! It's so neat. Plus, there is a tennis court, basketball courts, baseball field and so, so many picnic benches. This is an awesome park! read more

There is a lot to enjoy at Lion's Park. First, it has a great location that is easy to get to from either the south or east side of town, located near the old Zionsville downtown. Although the park is quite a bit lower than street level (it is near Eagle Creek), the city has built a really impressive stair/ramp system to allow folks to be connected to the shops in old downtown. The ramps have a manageable slope as they zigzag first to the south then back again to the middle halfway up, continue to the north and return to the middle at the top. Great planning! Between the baseball parks, there is a central gathering point which features a gazebo, lots of playground equipment, and what appears to be a concession stand (I went in March, so it wasn't open). Beyond the central area, there are other amenities (I didn't go through the entire park but could see basketball courts. What I didn't see were any shelters where you could rent for a family picnic/gathering. Not sure if I missed them, but they weren't apparent from the center of the park. There is a large parking lot on the south end of the park. As with any low lying property at creekside, I can imagine you need to watch the weather if you are planning on hiking around here after heavy rains (the last major flooding was in 2013). The trails are paved for conservation purposes, hoping that hikers will stay on them. The park is not part of the city's park system, but ran independently by the Lion's Club. Still, it is a welcome addition to the areas green spaces. Review #710 read more

This park has lots of space! 3 different play structures, basketball court, tennis court, baseball fields, picnic tables, and restrooms. The two bigger playgrounds are up front by the restrooms or you can walk the path down to the separate toddler area. It all gives lots of space for kids to play when it gets crowded, not to mention you can take across the street to get treats. read more

After seeing all of the great reviews, I was pretty excited to take the 2nd grader and 5th grader that I babysit here to check it out. I was hoping for a place to hang out for a couple of hours, but we were all pretty disappointed. It is a great park but I think it may just be better for younger kids. The park has baseball diamonds, basketball courts, and tennis courts. Everything seemed to be well taken care of and clean. There is also a variety of different benches and tables -- in and out of the shade. The playground area is pretty cool and has more than your typical playground equipment. There's spinning things the kids can sit in, multi person teeter totters, and many different things to climb and swing on. The thing I noticed -- everything is pretty small. Even their tallest slide is on the short side. Good for younger kids, but my kids were bored pretty quickly. The park is set up like a big square with paved walking and bike paths along the outside. There is a smaller playground geared for toddlers. We walked the perimeter but there wasn't too much to look at, even though it goes right up to Eagle Creek. There were also several bathrooms. I can't deny it was a nice and well taken care of park, but for the specific kids that I was with, it was not among their favorite parks. read more

Decent sized park!I'd never been, but decided to come for the fireworks on July 4th.Their playground equipment was in good condition, & they definitely maintain their grass very well.Their parking lot was huge, so no problem with finding a parking spot if there just so happens to be an event going on.As I said, I was here for fireworks, so I'm unsure where bathrooms are located (they had Port-O-Potties set up).I do plan to visit again! read more

Lions Park - Parks Near Me - Zionsville, Indiana

This is definitely a nice getaway hidden in Zionsville. I love coming here with my dog and go walking along Eagle Creek. Its like getting your nature fix, while being in town. I wish I had little kids because there is plenty for them to do and the playgrounds look super cool. The area feels comfortable and safe and has beautiful nature views. So if you're wanting to go for a little Sunday hike, come by here and check it out! Its right before you get onto Mainstreet in Zionsville, and a perfect walking distance to many things surrounding it. Its my perfect getaway! read more

This is a fantastic park for kids of all ages. I brought my 3 and 1 year old to the park during the day, can't imagine the scene during little league season, and they had a blast. They have swings, see saws, jungle gyms or whatever they are called now... The nature trail looks not very natury, but a nice little walk. Only beef, some of the wood based toys are definitely starting to show some age and would be worried about splinters or minor injuries... Will definitely be back!! read more

This park is a toddler's dream. There are multiple playgrounds where my daughter could work off all her energy.

Lions Park is a staple in Zionsville. I've attended the park since I was child, attending festivals, parades, carnivals, concerts, and for family gatherings to play at the park. You want to have a picnic? Come here. Want to relax in the shade while the kids play? Come here. There are seasonal events that draw crowds to the park which are always a blast to attend. read more

Growing up in Zionsville this is where many a summer day were spent in the hot humid Hoosier heat playing what every little kid loved: baseball. If we weren't playing baseball we were playing on the awesome jungle gyms or playing down by the creek. Zionsville just with the last few years built a foot bridge that parallels 334 E to W. Wonderful new access point from the park! Below is the description from town hall: The Zionsville Lions Club operates this 18-acre recreational facility. The park consists of seven baseball and softball diamonds, a lighted sand volleyball court, an enclosed shelter house, a covered picnic facility, a gazebo, picnic shelters, and other amenities. Scheduling, reservations, and contact information may be found at: www.zionsvillelions.com read more

This is the granddaddy of all the parks in Zionsville. To start off, it's huge! It's got a couple of different park areas with swing sets and slides. It also has a bunch of baseball and softball diamonds that always have games going on. There's a trail along the creek and a sand volleyball court. There is a gazebo in the middle and water fountains around the park. They have a concession stand there or you can just walk to the multitude of restaurants on Main Street. I spent a lot of time here because my sisters play softball and my dad helps run the program. There is something for everyone at this park. I am a regular here. read more
