I was preaching at First Christian Church this morning directly across the parking lot and got there early enough that I had time to wheel through Tenth Street Park and check it out. Tenth Street Park was the first official park in the city of Richmond. It primarily serves as a casual gathering space and annually hosts the city's Family Fun Fest. Parking is primarily on the street and I had no problem finding abundant spaces. While there's not technically accessible parking, the streets around the park are wide enough and traffic light enough that it shouldn't be a problem. The park is filled with mature trees and benches. There are no other park-like features. There's not a playground. This is, quite simply, a greenspace. There is a historical marker commemorating the presence of Camp Wayne during the Civil War. I liked this park. After driving a couple hours from Indy, it was a nice place to wind down and pray before I was preaching less than a block away. This is technically right off "downtown" Richmond and it's sort of a combination business/residential district. It's a well-maintained park that is certainly no longer considered one of Richmond's primary park spaces. That said, if you're in the area it's worth a visit.

Plus many memorials, to most US wars across the years. Very fitting place to honor veterans. Also a very nice shelter house, a path along the river, and a "balcony" on the hill overlooking the park. Well done and well cared for. A bit hard to find, even with GPS- mine gave me the wrong street name to turn on. It said Johnson Street, but it's actually Goebels. Down the hill, under the tracks, and around the corner. Plenty of parking. Take your time and wander.

There are an awful lot of things to respect about Wayne County's Veteran's Memorial Park, an…read moreincredibly well developed park that sets the tone for this type of park in the state of Indiana. It begins with the little things - actually getting the domain name for the park so that people can easily find out about it. That's such a basic thing to do, but I'm amazed how many parks don't do it. The Park is located in the Whitewater Gorge and can be accessed via automobile via the Johnson Street entrance or via foot over the pedestrian suspension  bridge on Sim Hodgin Parkway or via the Whitewater Gorge walking/bike  trail. The park includes a variety of memorials worth mentioning including memorials for conflicts not often recognized. For example, there's a monument for conflicts from 1980-1996 including the Iranian Hostage conflict, Lebanon, Grenada, Panama, the Persian Gulf War, Haiti, and Somalia. There's a monument for POW's and those still MIA. There are individual monuments dedicated to area residents who served. There are multiple Vietnam monuments, markers, and benches. There's a monument to the Korean War. World Wars I and II are obviously honored. There's a monument to the U.S. Civil War that notes 320 Wayne County residents died during the conflict. Families can purchase memorial bricks, benches, and other markers for placement in the park. The website also lists the name of every soldier honored with a brick (again, this speaks to fabulous organization of the park). The park has a Memorial for Women Soldiers, a Purple Heart Memorial, two M3A3 Stuart Tanks, a HUEY Helicopter, an M60 tank, two naval guns, and more. It's a surprisingly large park that honors vets with dignity and respect and it's very well cared for. It was developed by veterans for veterans. The entrance to the park is just west of the Sheriff's building (super easy to find in Richmond). For veterans, this is a remarkable park to visit and for families of veterans in this area it's a wonderful way to honor your loved one. Richmond has a surprising number of monuments and is easily worth a day trip for a variety of spots. I spent several years attending seminary here and it's a wonderful little community and they've certainly done right by their veterans here.

Not…read moreonly does it have designated spaces for stalls, but there is parking, restroom facilities, a lawn area for picnics, tables for visitors who prefer sitting on chairs, and a shaded area. And to make it look even more appealing there are dancing fountains on the east side of the plaza. The multi-shaded brick has been inlaid in zigzag pattern that lets you know this place has added a cool design to what was formerly just another parking lot downtown. Parking is good for three hours in the lot and if you are lucky, you can grab a spot along the shade trees. Overall, it's a nice place to pick up something from the market or to stroll over for a quiet space to enjoy lunch during the week. Review #1020

If you find yourself leaning toward the Conrad when you think about overnight accommodations, then…read moreyou'll likely want to stay far away from Richmond, Indiana's Quaker Hill Conference Center, a quiet little gem in an area populated by two of the historic peace churches, Friends (Quakers) and Church of the Brethren. For those who are aware, Earlham College in Richmond is a Quaker college, while Church of the Brethren operates their seminary, Bethany Theological Seminary, in Richmond right alongside the Earlham campus. So, yeah, you should take a hint that "Quaker Hill" is very much guided by, but not necessarily limited to, Quaker values encouraging simplicity, hospitality, social responsibility and being, well, friendly. I've stayed at Quaker Hill Conference Center on multiple occasions over the years as a graduate of the seminary and, at least until recently, a Church of the Brethren pastor. As Christina C. noted in her 2014 review, Quaker Hill is run by the "nicest people" and has the "best food" ever. Quaker Hill is mostly geared toward small to moderate-sized gatherings including conferences, workshops, special events, retreats and more. The main building, Evans House, existed as a private home from its construction in 1855 until the 1940's. During World War II, the house was used as a place for refugee resettlement, while it also housed a day camp and a Rural Life Association. Woodard Lodge was added in 1971 and they also offer an outdoor amphitheatre, dining options (up to 60 can be accommodated), meeting rooms for 10-60, and a neat little feature called a Solitude Room for personal retreats. They also have a picnic shelter and even limited long-term apartment options. You are able to have your meals at Quaker Hill - indeed, the food is terrific and typically served buffet style. Prices per meal range from $9-15, though they do offer some value conscious options. While it may sound like Quaker Hill is only for groups, every single time I've stayed there it's been alone while attending classes at the fairly close by seminary. If you require accessibility, this is definitely a place where you want to make that known up front. While they can often accommodate, their buildings are older and if you don't make your needs known you could show up on a weekend with every room booked and you've been assigned an inaccessible room - and yeah, I did this once and learned from it. It was completely my fault. Prices do vary by arrangement - I'm hesitant to cite prices as it can vary between groups, conferences, etc. I would plan on something above a Motel 6 and substantially lower than most hotels. If your body is somewhat requiring of a more luxurious sleeping situation, you may want to visit Quaker Hill first to see if it meets your needs. The room I was in, for example, often had a full-sized bed. They do have different options. Again, communication is pretty important here. So, why a 5-star if I communicate reservations? The people are stellar, the facilities are top notch and you are treated well here. The conference center is set close to a business corridor, but in a wooded area with tremendous privacy. If you're truly treating this is a retreat or personal getaway, this is simply stellar. If you go into it expecting a "motel" type setting, you may be setting yourself up for disappointment. While I'm done with seminary, I wouldn't hesitate to return and I find myself often recommending Quaker Hill to friends visiting Richmond.

Nicest people and best food ever!…read more I have to come every other year a couple times for work training. In Woodard Lodge, the rooms are always clean and come with two twin beds. There is a nice common area where you can hang out. There are rooms in the main building too, but I've never stayed there. We always have our training in the large room int he main building and it fits about 35 in a circle around the edges. It is historical looking, which is a nice change from the modernity of most buildings. The reason I love coming here is because of the food. I think everything is made from scratch with love. I always joke that I gain 5 pounds every time I'm here. They always have multiple dessert options with lunch and dinner. I would recommend coming here for the food alone. They also have a great tea selection. There is a nice wooded area right next to the conference center where you can hike to a small waterfall. It is a nice escape from daily life.

Only accessible via freight elevator that you HAVE to have an employee run for you...take it to the 4th floor and through a cool old warehouse-y feeling joint, through the doors, and you're there. Go down the hall lined with children's art (at my visit) and straight through another set of doors. Minimalist restrooms in the hall outside just have drawn curtains for doors, so beware. Cool old flyers, pictures, postcards adorned the walls in the restroom. I wanted to read them all. Overall a super sweet space if it's your bag. New Boswell Brewery beers on tap (4 of them!) was the cherry on top for me. Cheers!
