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.

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.

Kind of has a spacious, rustic barn feel yet it's industrial, yet it's cozy. Hard to explain. Definitely would consider this space if I were holding an event in Richmond at any time. 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!

The large splash pad area where they have buckets dumping and different sprinklers is absolutely amazing. I love it that they also have benches so parents could sit and watch and did not have to participate if you did not want to. Everything was very clean and the lifeguards were very attentive. This was such a great find in my community. They do allow children to wear lifejackets, but you may not wear lifejackets to go down the waterslides. The water in the large slide area is 3'6". This allowed my seven year old nephew to go down the slides, but the five-year-old was not able to. There were still plenty of other great areas for the five year old to play in with the splash pad area and the pool with depth less than 1'. Plenty of lawn chairs and I did notice that you can even reserve lawn chairs, I'm sure there is a fee for this but I did not inquire.

A recent change in purpose was proposed a few years ago to create the Robert Indiana Arts and Culture District. The famed sculptor was a native of New Castle and it seemed fitting to create a district for the active art scene in the area. As part of the development, money was used to create twin smaller replicas of Indiana's "LOVE" sculpture. One is located on the northwest corner of this park and the other is in the Arts Park farther up 15th Street. The LOVE sculptures are roughly 8' x 8' x 2' and are painted a bright red. Other sculptures were also added to the park including "ART" which stacks the three letters in bright blue. Another sculpture done in black metal spells out the park name Murphey. I believe all the sculptures in the park were created by local welding students. Other than a rock garden by the LOVE sculpture, there are some mature trees and a lot of open space in the 3 acre park. No sidewalks or trails exist here. Review #1417

I was able to see several of the upstairs rooms as well and they too were very nice. The breakfast was delicious with the best orange juice I've had in years. If we should ever make our way back to Indiana, we'll definitely stay here again. One additional note: the town of Richmond IN is FULL of gorgeous old Victorian houses that could be refurbished into veritable palaces, much like the Smith B&B. There are also charming cottages from the early 1900s. In a way, it reminds me of Savannah GA in that there are so many lovely historic properties. If historic preservation/renovation is your thing, (and you're lucky enough to be retired or to telework full time), you should definitely check it out.
