The west wing is mostly a baseball field, but it is surrounded by a fence that is topped with barbed wire. What's up with that? I sure isn't inviting and I can't imagine what is so valuable here to warrant the ominous wire. So, I'm guessing the south wing is the more popular and though it doesn't have a parking lot, there is plenty of room along the neighborhood street. The place has restroom facilities on hand as well. Not a destination park, but a decent one for a neighborhood. Review #3072

The field is amazing. There is always something new. And not new like a few new bunkers, but new like "oh, we built a pirate ship on the lake". Other features include a three story castle, western fort, ghost town, pirate ship, and a massive bridge. The place is always filled with great players and so far the refs have kept the "douche-baggery" to a minimum during the big games. They say it is a player's field and I think they mean it. I feel like the paint prices are fantastic considering that other fields stick you for $60-$100 a case during big games. Even if you have to make a drive, give this place a try. There is a big game every month. I doubt that you will be sorry! http://www.fortknoxpaintball.com/

It is a great paintball park, over 7 fields from ship wrecks to Western towns and a beautiful man-made bridge. Bring your own paint or reasonably priced paint there. Their Valken Graffiti was $60 (same price as ANS) and fresh. They also have a nice staging area 4-5 covered picnic areas lots of room for parking. Dave and his son run the place and you can tell he just wants to create an environment for families and friends to have a good time. His ref are well educated and staff is very friendly. They even cooked for us, hot dogs and hamburgers, during the long weekend. I will continue to plan a few trips out there a year. Worth the drive. PS they are on Eastern Time!

In the…read morecenter of the park is a statue of Major General Robert Milroy, a Union General and Indiana native. The statue is on a pedestal. General Milroy is most noted for his defeat at the Second Battle of Winchester in 1863. In 1850, he was a lawyer and judge in Rensselaer. Milroy recruited a company for the 9th Indiana Militia with men living around the town. Milroy's Rensselaer was and bad shape and eventually was torn down in 1902. The site of the home is now where the park sits. On July 4, 1910, they unveiled a statue of Milroy at an Independence Day assembly of around 10,000 people. It was one of the largest crowds Rensselaer had ever seen. The statue was sculpted by Rensselaer native Mary Washburn and also memorialized on the statue is Milroy's friend and fellow officer, Ben Summit. The park has a glider swing and some green space, but is not really a park to just hang out. While I was there they had themed pumpkin scenes set up along the walkway like some type of public art. It looked like they were having a pumpkin decoration competition of sorts. The park is the site of events like rallies and is well maintained. There is not really much parking available, but this is not that type of park anyway. If you do choose to park here then you can park on the street, in front of one of the nearby houses. This is more of a local park and not a destination park. There is not much utility for this park outside of an organized event or a brief stop on your way to another place.

Born near Salem, Indiana and getting his degree from Indiana University Law School, he returned from the war and served as a lawyer/judge in Rensselaer. A bronze statue was sculpted by Mary Washburn in 1910 and is stands on a pedestal on the eastern edge of the park. Other than lots of shade trees and the statue, there is a historical marker for Milroy and a bench swing nearby. The park does not have parking or sidewalks to accommodate visitors, but because of its close proximity to downtown, is not too far to walk from downtown or the Potawatomi Park. Review #3025

There is a scary restroom facility inside of the shelter. I was not feeling adventurous, so I looked from a far. There is not an official parking lot, but there are ample places to park. The playground is lined with wood chips and the equipment has seen better days. The parks equipment includes a jungle gym with slides and a rock climbing wall and a set of the older style swings. The equipment is playable, but the park is off the beaten path. The park needs a little TLC, which is ironic because it is co-located with the Parks and Rec Department. Anyway, I would probably check out another park if I wanted to play. It is deep enough out of the way that it may make it a decent spot to host an event and use the shelter. This park will do in a pinch or if you do not want to go to a busier park. But it definitely would not be my first choice or go to.
