The park is also dog friendly. The park was well kept. The bridge was nicely constructed. My first sight to see this type of bridge. Overall, I enjoyed walking on the peaceful and beautiful park alongside the White River.

I thought that General Pulaski Park was one of the nicest parks in Anderson. I pulled into the…read moreparking area on the east end and immediately noticed the walking trails (paved) and pond. Next were the shelter and playground on the left of the drive. On the right side on a small hill was located multiple tennis and basketball courts. To the west was a baseball diamond. The maintenance crews were busy trimming and mowing which made my visit a bit shortened, but I was glad to see the park getting plenty of attention. The only negative I saw was that the permanent restrooms had experienced some vandalism; still working, but signs of damage to the walls and attempts on the plumbing left me shaking my head. But overall, the park had a lot to offer, particularly for those with an interest in fitness. Plenty to do and not too crowded. Review #1093

We were able to rent fishing poles and buy live bait! We didn't catch any fish. We did see the truck release the fish into the water and stock the lakes. Several other families hooked fish but our luck just wasn't with us! We still had a great time! The cabins were authentic wood beams and the smell of pine. I was happy there were a few electrical outlets and an air conditioner. There were 3 beds, which we provided our own bedding. The ability to walk from it Cabin straight to the lake, a 3 second walk, was amazing. The Friday night bonfire was great for smores! The only things I didn't care for were that the mattresses were not in plastic - our family that stayed in 3 other cabins had plastic. I also did not care for the showers. The bathroom and showers we saw were in the bait house. 2 out of 4 women's restrooms were out of order. The restroom I went in wasn't very welcoming. No soap. Toilet wasn't the best. Dirty feminine products in the trash. No paper towels or dryers. The showers didn't appear sanitary. Walls looked run down. There was a designated area with 16 showers but the view of the first showers at the bait house deterred us from giving those a chance. We stayed Friday to Saturday. Cleaned ourselves in the canon with baby wipes and wash cloths. Didn't shower until we got home. Overall, I would come back. Peaceful and calming scenery.

We originally…read morevisited because we wanted to check out the playground, but we soon discovered that this park has a beautiful nature trail that winds along the back of the park. The Geist Reservoir runs through the park, and when we visited, we saw people kayaking along the river. We had fun just throwing rocks into the water. Be advised that there are signs all around the park near the river that say that you shouldn't swim in the water because there is a strong undercurrent. So no swimming! The playground has a really neat play structure with lots of ropes, ramps and things to climb. My kids had a lot of fun here -- it's set up almost like an obstacle course. There are also slides, swings (including a swing for really young children), riding toys and tunnels. The ground is covered with wood chips, so it's nice and soft in case your kiddo falls. There are also benches all around so you can sit and see your kid play from whatever angle you happen to be in. There are restrooms just off of the playground, and they were relatively clean when we were there. Parking is plentiful and right by the playground.

Are you kidding me?…read more 15 minutes north of Indy, right off I69. Nature! Water! Camping! Cabins! Fishing! Kayaking! Close to Deer Creek Music Center (or whatever they call it now?) But really..... the attraction is the ownership and employees. These folks actually CARE about your stay and your experience! (Such a rare commodity these days!) Can't recommend this place enough! I highly suggest a long weekend.. ("StayCation") if you are local. And if you are in town for a concert, sporting event or just a visit..... you would be hard pressed to find a better option! No, I am not an owner or an employee. Just a guy who appreciates good people and great service!

Fall Park is a beautiful retreat in the heart of Pendleton with a rich history. According to…read morehistorical plaques, indigenous people found refuse in the beautiful natural falls. Early settlers moved to the area in 1818 and harnessed the energy of the falls for milling and other uses. A cannery and quarry thrived on the banks of the beautiful creek. After which the area became a neglected dumping grounds. In 1919, a local business man had the vision to clean up the property and turn it into a park. Today, the park is beautiful with a massive modern playground, restroom facility, picnic pavilions, paths along the creek and naturally terraced falls. The quarry was turned into a lovely little pond complete with a folk art lighthouse. A quiet war memorial stands on the north side of the pond. I enjoyed my walk through the manicured grounds with gardens and shaded by large trees. Plenty of parking areas meander through the park. Fishing is permitted in the stream. The park is now host to annual events. This is a fabulous community park with beautiful natural elements, great facilities and a little history.

There are waking trails and ponds as well. On one visit we found a creek with cute waterfalls. You could spend an entire day here. Also super close to the Pendleton downtown area.

If you prefer to walk/hike in the shade, Cheeney Creek is a good place to visit. The trails aren't particularly long, clocking in at around two miles.

Cheeney Creek was moderately busy during a weekend visit. I ran into a few folks here or there and some bikers, but that's about it. Afterwards you can take a short walk or drive to 116th street for some refreshments.

The Oakhurst Mansion was built in 1894 by George and Frances Ball in the Arts and Crafts style. The Balls were avid readers and created the Blue Book of Canning, that teaches food preservation. This remarkably maintained house is open for self guided tours. The interior contains all original woodwork, trim details and some furniture. Family history is abundant throughout the home. My granddaughter enjoyed the interactive activities throughout the house, especially canning in the kitchen and creating a family tree. Immaculate gardens surround the house. The garden is filled with oak trees and other dense hardwoods. Paths meander through the garden. There was one clerk present during our visit that checked us in and invited us to explore the house and grounds. She was friendly. Admission was included in the $15 tickets that we purchased at the Bob Ross Experience (but can also be purchased on line). There is ample parking in the lot northwest of Oakhurst. Accessible ramps are located at the east entrance of the home. They are opened Wednesday - Sunday.

There are nice paved paths that easily connect to the Cardinal Greenway or just a short jog to the White River. The paths through Oakhurst Gardens are not really long enough to do your full run, but they are a nice little detour from typical sidewalks! I would highly recommend the garden paths for an easy stroll on a nice day. This is a safe and free area to enjoy a nice walk. Even in February the gardens are well kept and the ornamental sidewalk designs provide enjoyable scenery. I am looking forward to going back as spring awakens the blooms in the garden. Another plus about parking/visiting this area for a walk or run is that the Minnetrista museum building is unlocked during business hours and you can sneak in to use the restroom!
